Mainnet Re-Entrancy Flaw Exploited

Found a mainnet re-entrancy flaw and I exploited it. Been sitting on this secret like a hen on her egg; it's time for the reveal! Watch the exploit in action, bending the chain to its will. Time for you to conquer this technique too! 🔧🧠

A quick shout-out to the Peanut team (@0xkkonrad and @uwwgo). Had a decent chat about the ramifications of the issue and future safeguards. They were cooperative and responsive. 👏👍

Understanding ClonesWithImmutableArgs: Security Issues and Vulnerabilities

🚨 People continue to invent new ways to create security issues. I found out about ClonesWithImmutableArgs, and I found a structural problem in this pattern.

Today I learned about EIP-6780, probably the best approach to removing SELFDESTRUCT from the EVM. I'll explain what it's supposed to do and how it affects current and future smart contracts, and share example code to illustrate when it works as expected and when it doesn't.

Web Interfaces for Contracts List

I am recreating a list with web interfaces for contracts. The list is in no particular order. It's good to have different ways to interact with contracts whether they are or not verified on Etherscan.

Dynamic progressive algorithmic protocol limits

📈📉 I present a way to set up rate limits that are automatically updated, dynamically increase over time, and protect your protocol from big hacks. You can find 👇 a reference implementation and the thinking behind all of this.

GasHawk first look

I started using a new product a few weeks ago that saves me ether on each transaction. It's brilliant how this works and how easy it is to use. Best of all, it's saving me gas. So far, I saved ~35% ether on my transactions. gashawk.io/ 👇🧵

🦅 First of all, it's really easy to set up. You need to add a new RPC URL in your wallet 🦊 you're already using. No need to install anything new; add the URL GasHawk provides, and you're good to go.
