Smart contracts, integral to any decentralized application (Dapp) on the Blockchain, autonomously enforce predefined conditions when specific criteria are met, eliminating the necessity for intermediaries in contract execution. Despite their decentralized advantages, smart contracts have increasingly attracted attention from malicious actors seeking financial gains. Consequently, the question arises: Can a ...

To be able to perform the different tasks and execute the operations in its source code, smart contracts require a certain level of gas. This gas is paid by the user that tries to execute the smart contract using a transaction. However, when the user does not send enough gas ...

The transaction life cycle in most Blockchain technologies is mainly controlled by miners, even the order of the transactions. Therefore, when two users execute two different transactions at the same or closer time then only their gas fees will judge who will be executed first. This concept creates a vulnerability ...

In June 17, 2016 the most famous DAO platform developed by solidity language was victim to a big hack that make it lose more than 3.6 million Ether. The attacker has exploited a vulnerability called reentrancy in the smart contract that managed the platform. So what is a reentrancy attack ...

During the development of a smart contract, programmers may need to know the exact time to be able to execute some actions. Therefore, smart contract developers use what we call a timestamp offered by the node executing the smart contract. However, this may cause create multiple vulnerabilities that can cause ...
