Are you ready to deploy your Ethereum smart contract, but not sure if it’s secure? Look no further! In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of using Mythril to check your smart contract for vulnerabilities. All you need is a little bit of knowledge about smart contracts and Mythril. If you’re new to either of these, don’t worry — we’ll provide a brief overview to get you up to speed. So, grab your smart contract code and let’s get started on making sure it’s secure before deploying it to the Ethereum network.

Security vulnerabilities in Ethereum’s smart-contracts

Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement between buyer and seller being directly written into lines of code. Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third-party interference. These features make smart contracts extremely useful in a variety of applications, but they also introduce security risks. It is important to thoroughly check smart contracts for vulnerabilities before deploying them on the Ethereum network.
