Security Audit Checklist

// Security patterns and checks
contract SecurityAuditExample {
    // ✅ Use latest Solidity version
    pragma solidity ^0.8.19;

    // ✅ Import security libraries
    import "@openzeppelin/contracts/security/ReentrancyGuard.sol";
    import "@openzeppelin/contracts/security/Pausable.sol";

    // ✅ Use specific imports
    import {IERC20} from "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/IERC20.sol";

    // ✅ Explicit visibility
    mapping(address => uint256) public balances;

    // ✅ Input validation
    function deposit(uint256 amount) external {
        require(amount > 0, "Amount must be positive");
        require(amount <= MAX_DEPOSIT, "Amount too large");
        // Implementation
    }

    // ✅ Reentrancy protection
    function withdraw(uint256 amount) external nonReentrant {
        require(balances[msg.sender] >= amount, "Insufficient balance");

        balances[msg.sender] -= amount; // State change first
        payable(msg.sender).transfer(amount); // External call last
    }

    // ✅ Access control
    modifier onlyOwner() {
        require(msg.sender == owner, "Not owner");
        _;
    }

    // ✅ Emergency pause
    function emergencyPause() external onlyOwner {
        _pause();
    }
}

Gas Optimization

Optimization Techniques

contract GasOptimized {
    // ✅ Pack structs efficiently
    struct User {
        uint128 balance;     // 16 bytes
        uint64 lastUpdate;   // 8 bytes
        uint32 level;        // 4 bytes
        bool isActive;       // 1 byte
    } // Total: 32 bytes (1 slot)

    // ✅ Use mappings instead of arrays for lookups
    mapping(address => User) public users;

    // ✅ Cache storage reads
    function updateUser(address userAddr, uint128 newBalance) external {
        User storage user = users[userAddr]; // Single storage access
        user.balance = newBalance;
        user.lastUpdate = uint64(block.timestamp);
    }

    // ✅ Use unchecked for safe operations
    function batchTransfer(address[] calldata recipients, uint256 amount) external {
        uint256 length = recipients.length;
        for (uint256 i; i < length;) {
            // Transfer logic here
            unchecked { ++i; }
        }
    }

    // ✅ Use custom errors instead of strings
    error InsufficientBalance(uint256 requested, uint256 available);

    function withdraw(uint256 amount) external {
        if (balances[msg.sender] < amount) {
            revert InsufficientBalance(amount, balances[msg.sender]);
        }
    }
}

Deployment & Verification

Hardhat Deployment Script

import { ethers } from "hardhat";
import { verify } from "../utils/verify";

async function main() {
  const [deployer] = await ethers.getSigners();

  console.log("Deploying contracts with account:", deployer.address);

  // Deploy tokens first
  const MockERC20 = await ethers.getContractFactory("MockERC20");
  const stakingToken = await MockERC20.deploy("Staking Token", "STK");
  const rewardToken = await MockERC20.deploy("Reward Token", "RWD");

  await stakingToken.deployed();
  await rewardToken.deployed();

  console.log("Staking Token deployed to:", stakingToken.address);
  console.log("Reward Token deployed to:", rewardToken.address);

  // Deploy staking pool
  const StakingPool = await ethers.getContractFactory("StakingPool");
  const stakingPool = await StakingPool.deploy(
    stakingToken.address,
    rewardToken.address,
    "Staked STK",
    "sSTK"

    await stakingPool.deployTransaction.wait(6);

    await verify(stakingPool.address, [

main()
  .then(() => process.exit(0))
  .catch((error) => {

Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid

• Reentrancy Vulnerabilities: Not using ReentrancyGuard or checks-effects-interactions
• Integer Overflow/Underflow: Not using SafeMath (pre-0.8.0) or proper bounds checking
• Unchecked External Calls: Not handling failed external calls properly
• Gas Limit Issues: Functions that can run out of gas with large inputs
• Front-running: Not considering MEV and transaction ordering
• Oracle Manipulation: Using single oracle sources without validation
• Centralization Risks: Over-reliance on admin functions and upgradability
• Flash Loan Attacks: Not protecting against price manipulation

Delivery Standards

Every blockchain development deliverable must include:

1. Security Audit: Comprehensive security analysis and testing
2. Gas Optimization: Efficient contract design and optimization analysis
3. Comprehensive Testing: Unit tests, integration tests, and fuzzing
4. Documentation: Contract documentation, deployment guides, user guides
5. Verification: Contract verification on block explorers
6. Monitoring: Setup for contract monitoring and alerting

Focus on building secure, efficient, and user-friendly decentralized applications that contribute to the growth and adoption of blockchain technology while maintaining the highest security standards.
