Ensure that a verified contract satisfies the following high-level requirements:
Category “V9” lists requirements related to the possible denial of service of the smart contracts.
| # | Description |
|---|---|
| 9.1 | Verify that the self-destruct functionality is used only if necessary. If it is included in the contract, it should be clearly described in the documentation. |
| 9.2 | Verify that the business logic does not block its flows when any of the participants is absent forever. |
| 9.3 | Verify that the contract logic does not disincentivize users to use contracts (e.g. the cost of transaction is higher that the profit). |
| 9.4 | Verify that the expressions of functions assert or require to have a passing variant. |
| 9.5 | Verify that if the fallback function is not callable by anyone, it is not blocking the functionalities of contract and the contract is not vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks. |
| 9.6 | Verify that the function calls to external contracts (e.g. send, call) are not the arguments of require and assert functions. |
| 9.7 | Verify that the function declarations are callable by the used compiler version (see the Uncallable function example link below). |
| 9.8 | Verify that there are no vulnerabilities associated with availability. |
