TLDR
This work analyses the security vulnerabilities of Ethereum smart contracts, providing a taxonomy of common programming pitfalls which may lead to vulnerabilities, and shows a series of attacks which exploit these vulnerabilities, allowing an adversary to steal money or cause other damage.Abstract:
Smart contracts are computer programs that can be correctly executed by a network of mutually distrusting nodes, without the need of an external trusted authority. Since smart contracts handle and transfer assets of considerable value, besides their correct execution it is also crucial that their implementation is secure against attacks which aim at stealing or tampering the assets. We study this problem in Ethereum, the most well-known and used framework for smart contracts so far. We analyse the security vulnerabilities of Ethereum smart contracts, providing a taxonomy of common programming pitfalls which may lead to vulnerabilities. We show a series of attacks which exploit these vulnerabilities, allowing an adversary to steal money or cause other damage.read more

Deviant: A Mutation Testing Tool for Solidity Smart Contracts
TL;DR: Deviant is presented, a mutation testing tool for Solidity smart contracts that automatically generates mutants of a given Solidity project and runs all mutants against the given tests to evaluate their effectiveness, and indicates that a test suite adequate for the statement and branch coverage criteria of Soliditysmart contracts does not necessarily provide a high-level assurance of code quality.

Verifying Liquidity of Bitcoin Contracts
TL;DR: This work addresses the problem of verifying liquidity of Bitcoin contracts by transforming the infinite-state semantics of BitML into a finite-state one, which focusses on the behaviour of any given set of contracts, abstracting the context moves.

RA: Hunting for Re-Entrancy Attacks in Ethereum Smart Contracts via Static Analysis
TL;DR: This paper presents a static analysis tool named RA (Re-entrancy Analyzer), a combination of symbolic execution and equivalence checking by a satisfiability modulo theories solver to analyze smart contract vulnerabilities against re-ENTrancy attacks and shows that RA can precisely determine which smart contracts are vulnerable.

Ethereum: A Secure Decentralised Generalised Transaction Ledger
TL;DR: Ethereum as mentioned in this paper is a transactional singleton machine with shared state, which can be seen as a simple application on a decentralised, but singleton, compute resource, and it provides a plurality of resources, each with a distinct state and operating code but able to interact through a message-passing framework with others.

Making Smart Contracts Smarter
TL;DR: This paper investigates the security of running smart contracts based on Ethereum in an open distributed network like those of cryptocurrencies, and proposes ways to enhance the operational semantics of Ethereum to make contracts less vulnerable.
