Auditor’s Notes: Tokens, EIP-712 & Meta-Transactions

<h2>Greetings dear readers!</h2> <p>Looking at this&nbsp;<a href="https://telegra.ph/Retrospective-hacks-in-web3-10-24" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">month&rsquo;s never-ending hacks</a>, one wonders why they happen so&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/manifoldfinance/defi-threat" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">frequently</a>. Have audit firms actually&nbsp;<a href="https://telegra.ph/ETHSec-Tools-02-13" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">gotten worse</a>&nbsp;at what they do? This, in my opinion, is not the case; yet, the topic is rather tricky because you can, in certain ways, reduce the risks to yourself and your project!</p> <p><strong><em>When confronted with such an issue, the only thing left to do is address it logically &mdash; in other words, how can we affect this unfavorable situation?</em></strong></p> <ul> <li>Firstly, we might construct our&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/OffcierCia/Crypto-OpSec-SelfGuard-RoadMap" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">metaphysical defense wall</a>&nbsp;in such a way that it already responds to the ongoing attack. This concept is firmly associated with&nbsp;<a href="https://monero.observer/cypherpunk-transmission-001-threat-modeling-demystified/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Threat Modeling</a>;</li> <li>Secondly, we can strive to construct a line of defense that will function even before the possible events, that is, create the code first and conduct all activities appropriately and safely. This is what we&rsquo;ll cover in this post!</li> </ul> <p>Additionally, keep in mind that Solidity is a high-level programming language! While Solidity offers powerful functionalities, it also brings a unique set of risks and challenges. So, by reviewing the code, auditors can suggest optimizations and improvements that can reduce the gas usage and make the contract more cost-effective. Efficient code not only saves costs for users but also contributes to the overall sustainability and scalability of the project.</p> <p><a href="https://blog.pessimistic.io/auditors-notes-tokens-eip-712-meta-transactions-9f806dcda79a"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
