🎯 Secure, Efficient, and Reliable Smart Contracts
🔐 Security First
- Use Reentrancy Guards to prevent recursive calls (e.g., DAO hack).
- Validate All Inputs with strict checks to avoid overflow/underflow errors.
- Minimize External Calls to reduce attack surfaces; prefer internal functions.
- Implement Access Control via roles (e.g., OpenZeppelin's Access Control).
🔄 Upgradability Strategies
- Use Proxy Patterns (e.g., Transparent Proxy) for logic upgrades.
- Avoid Hardcoded Addresses; deploy upgradeable contracts via standardized frameworks.
- Test Upgrade Paths thoroughly to ensure compatibility with new versions.
🧪 Testing & Verification
- Write Unit Tests for all critical functions (e.g., using Truffle).
- Perform Formal Verification with tools like Slither or Certora.
- Simulate Edge Cases (e.g., zero balances, time-based conditions).
🚀 Efficiency Tips
- Optimize Gas Usage by avoiding loops in critical paths.
- Use Libraries for Common Functions (e.g., OpenZeppelin's Utils).
- Leverage State Channels for off-chain computations.
