How DeFi's greatest strength — composability — creates chains of dependencies that amplify risk. Learn about cascading failures, assumption violations, and integration risks.
How mismatched storage layouts between proxy and implementation contracts lead to corrupted state, unauthorized access, and fund theft. Learn safe storage patterns.
Practical patterns and techniques for protecting your smart contracts from frontrunning — commit-reveal, batch auctions, private mempools, and encrypted transactions.
Why on-chain randomness is fundamentally broken and how to use Chainlink VRF, commit-reveal, and other patterns to get verifiable randomness in your smart contracts.
Security risks specific to NFT smart contracts — from reentrancy via onERC721Received to mint manipulation, metadata attacks, and royalty bypass.
Security risks in liquidity pools — from impermanent loss optimization attacks to sandwich exploits, pool draining, and virtual reserve manipulation.
How multi-sig wallets fail — from the Parity freeze to social engineering and operational security gaps. Learn to configure and use multisigs securely.
