  1. Introduction

The importance of opcode analysis in contract security

Opcodes, or operational codes, are the elementary instructions executed by the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) in the case of Ethereum-based smart contracts. They represent the lowest level of instructions that dictate contract behavior. By analyzing these opcodes, developers and security experts can gain insights into the contract's functionality, identifying potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors.

Opcode analysis is pivotal for contract security as it allows for the examination of contract logic at its most fundamental level. This scrutiny is crucial for detecting hidden vulnerabilities and ensuring that the contract behaves as intended, minimizing the risk of exploits that could compromise the contract's integrity and the security of the assets it governs.
