Here’s a concise list of common ways smart contracts get hacked: 1. Reentrancy Attacks: Repeatedly calling a function before the initial execution is complete. 2. Integer Overflow/Underflow: Arithmetic operations exceed variable limits causing unexpected behavior. 3. Unprotected Functions: Publicly accessible functions that should be restricted. 4. Timestamp Dependence: Using block timestamps for critical logic, which can be manipulated by miners. 5. Front-Running: Observing pending transactions and submitting higher gas fee transactions to be processed first. 6. Denial of Service (DoS): Overloading the contract with data or requests, making it unusable. 7. Contract Logic Errors: Mistakes in the code leading to unintended behavior. 8. Dependency on External Contracts: Relying on other contracts that may have vulnerabilities. 9. Unchecked Call Return Values: Not verifying the success of external calls. 10. Phishing Attacks: Tricking users into interacting with malicious contracts.

Lesson # 2 Is Delisting Tokens a Scam? Delisting tokens from an exchange is not inherently a scam, but it can be problematic depending on the context: 1. Legitimate Reasons*: - Regulatory Compliance: Exchanges may delist tokens to comply with legal requirements. - Low Liquidity: Tokens with low trading volume may be delisted to maintain market efficiency. - Project Issues: Tokens associated with failing or fraudulent projects might be removed. 2. Potential for Scams: - Insider Trading: If insiders exploit delisting information for profit, it can harm regular investors. - Lack of Transparency : Sudden and unexplained delistings can lead to suspicions of foul play. Conclusion While delisting itself is not a scam, the process should be transparent and justified to maintain trust in the exchange.
