Solidity Static Analysis

Image
A growing number of industries are using blockchain platforms to perform trustless computation using smart contracts. Applications ranging from financial services to supply chains, and from logistics to healthcare are being developed to rely on blockchain technologies. One of the most popular underlying technologies is the Ethereum smart contact, whitten in Solidity, which are then compiled to Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) assembly instructions for blockchain deployment. Often, or more likely usually, the deployed smart contract’s code is insecure: software vulnerabilities are regularly identified, and have been exploited by malicious actors, resulting in millions of dollars in damages and harm to the reputation of blockchain systems. While modern compilers, offer various APIs on top of which third-party analyzers can be built, the Solidity compiler fails to offer the same features. However, there are several tools that you can use, of which the today's article will tal
