If you are interested in blockchain technology, you may have heard of many incidents of large amounts of funds being stolen by attackers exploiting vulnerabilities in program code.

Another more recent incident was the flash loan attack, which took place on April 17, 2022, resulting in a loss of $182 million in funds. While all attacks stem from security vulnerabilities in the underlying source code, the good news is that program analysis techniques are now available that can detect such vulnerabilities. In the next few blog posts, we'll explain what program analysis is and how it can help catch securi...
