Introduction

Written by security experts at the forefront of this dynamic industry, this book teaches state-of-the-art smart contract security principles and practices.

What Are Smart Contracts?

Smart contracts are an innovative application of blockchain technology. Acting as decentralized custodians of digital assets, they allow us to transfer value and information more effectively by reducing the need to trust a third party.

The Potential of Smart Contracts

By eliminating the need for intermediaries, smart contracts have the potential to massively scale the world economy and unleash the potential for faster and more efficient solutions than traditional systems could ever provide.

The Security Challenge

But there's one catch: while blockchains are secure, smart contracts are not. Security vulnerabilities in smart contracts have led to over $250 million USD in value being lost or stolen.

Our Mission

For smart contract technology to achieve its full potential, these security vulnerabilities need to be addressed. Help us secure the future of blockchain technology and join us at the forefront today!
