Overview
Written by security experts at the forefront of this dynamic industry, this book teaches state-of-the-art smart contract security principles and practices. 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. 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. 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 to be lost or stolen. For smart contract technology to achieve its full potential, these security vulnerabilities need to be addressed. Written by security experts at the forefront of this dynamic industry, this book teaches state-of-the-art smart contract security principles and practices. Help us secure the future of blockchain technology and join us at the forefront today!

Reviews
"Now you don't have to be a researcher at MIT or a professional security auditor to understand how to build smart contracts, as their new book on Fundamentals of Smart Contract Security explains precisely how to secure smart contracts yourself! Also, as an added benefit, cutting-edge techniques such as symbolic execution are also given an excellent treatment."" - Harry Halpin, blockchain researcher at MIT and Inria de Paris ""I hope that Fundamentals of Smart Contract Security will draw more cybersecurity minded individuals to work in the blockchain space and enable developers to think more actively about programming defensively enabling them to stay on top of security best practices."" - Joseph Lubin, Founder of ConsenSys, Co-founder of Ethereum"
