Abstract
Strong security is the foundation of blockchain technology. Without it, blockchains offer no advantage over traditional software. This chapter, covers security best practices for Solidity. Security of the Ethereum blockchain itself is covered in Chapter 6. Thousands of ether have been lost or hacked from smart contracts because of poorly written code. Following the best practices in this chapter will minimize the chances of that happening to your own contracts.
