Smart Contract Security
Smart Contract Security
One of the main reasons behind organizations using smart contracts technology is its strong security posture. It acts as a lawyer (with an agreement) between two parties involved in a transaction.
Smart contracts extend the functionality of the blockchain by allowing programs to run on top of the distributed ledger. However, as smart contracts become more common and powerful, vulnerabilities in these contracts have far-reaching implications. Enroll in this course to learn about common smart contract vulnerabilities and how to identify and remediate them.
Questions We’ll Explore
- Why is smart contract security difficult?
- What vulnerabilities do smart contracts share with other programs?
- How does the design of the blockchain affect smart contract security?
- What vulnerabilities exist in particular smart contract platforms?
- How does DeFi create new potential vulnerabilities?
- How can a smart contract security audit identify vulnerabilities?
