Many of the hacks that befall web3 projects would be preventable with more emphasis on smart contract security.

Commonly, attackers find and exploit multiple deficiencies across the software development supply chain – the series of steps that go into releasing new code into the world, from design to deployment and upkeep. If proper protocols and best practices were more readily available,  we believe far fewer security incidents would occur. 

The purpose of this post is to outline the core security fundamentals that web3 builders, developers, and security teams must consider when designing, developing, and maintaining a secure smart contract system. The framework presented below discusses eight core categories of security considerations – from threat-modeling to emergency response preparation – that should be implemented throughout the software development lifecycle.

Before jumping into the smart contract security considerations, it’s important to understand the development phases for a secure software supply chain, which can be described in the following five phases:
