Six contracts that pass EXTCODESIZE(owner) > 0 and still withdraw their order
On an order book, the depth you see is a promise. The market maker showing you a bid can pull it in the same block you try to take it, and nothing o…

When I started building my NFT marketplace in Solidity, my main goal was simple: Make it work. But as the project grew, I realized that writing Soli…
В этом году стукнуло уже 10 лет, как я разрабатываю умные контракты на Solidity под EVM. В связи с этим решил нап…

In the last few weeks two protocols were drained through the same class of bug: an access-control exploit . RISEx lost ~$673k. WEMIX.FI Lend lost ~$…
Every automated Solidity security tool has the same disease: it cries wolf. Run one on an audited protocol and you get 600 "findings," 98% of which…
Most Solidity security tools have the same failure mode: they cry wolf. You run them on an audited protocol and get 600 "findings," 98% of which are…
The first time I let a local model drive Foundry unsupervised, it spent eleven turns trying to fix a fuzz test by renaming the test function. Not ch…
I keep a folder of ten small Solidity contracts with bugs I planted myself: a classic reentrancy in a withdraw function, a missing access modifier o…
Maintaining real-time transaction tracking layers across a multi-tier infrastructure requires seamless node data synchronization. During heavy netwo…
Most Solidity scanners are high-recall, low-precision. They flag 40 things, 38 are noise, and after the third report you stop reading them — so the…

I have shipped software for 18 years. Roughly 8 of those in crypto. And this week I signed up for my first Sherlock audit contest, and my hands were…
If you were using MythX before March 31st, you already know. ConsenSys quietly sunset the entire MythX suite. One day it was there, the next your CI…
You built something. Tests pass. You're days from mainnet. Before you either skip security entirely (please don't) or spend weeks lining up a full a…
The dirty secret of automated smart-contract security tools isn't that they miss bugs. It's that they cry wolf. Point a typical static analyzer at a…
Last week I was reviewing the staking engine of a protocol before its mainnet launch. Deep in a 1,400-line contract, I found what looked like a seri…
Based on real audits of production vaults and AMMs. A tokenized vault (ERC-4626) looks simple: deposit assets, get shares; burn shares, get assets b…
I built a small index basket app on Robinhood Chain because I wanted to understand the developer path from the first contract deploy all the way to…
I have a confession to make. When I first saw that Tether—the behemoth behind the $110 billion USDT stablecoin—was the primary financial backer of H…
Some smart contract bugs scream at you. A missing onlyOwner , a reentrancy with the state update after the transfer. Signature replay is not one of…
The problem AI agents are starting to hire each other — one agent delegates a sub-task to another, pays for the output, moves on. The blocker isn't…
When you submit a transaction, it sits in the public mempool before it is mined, visible to everyone. Bots watch that mempool and reorder, insert, o…

"Most tokenization discussions stop at the token. In reality, the token is often the simplest component of the entire system." There is a moment tha…
Gas optimization is satisfying. You shave a few thousand gas off a function and feel clever. But some optimizations trade away safety in ways that a…
Reentrancy is the oldest trick in smart contract exploitation. The DAO fell to it in 2016. You would think a bug this famous would be extinct by now…
Every year the post-mortems pile up, and every year the same category sits at the top of the loss chart. Not reentrancy. Not oracle manipulation. Ac…
Your fuzz tests pass. Your unit tests pass. Coverage is green. Then the protocol goes live and someone drains the vault with a five-transaction sequ…
