In addition to fundamental practices, there are additional ways to enhance the security of smart contracts, including:
- **Using advanced encryption techniques:** such as Multi-Party Computation (MPC) to ensure data confidentiality.
- **Validating code through specialized tools:** such as *Slither* and *Manticore* for analyzing security vulnerabilities.
- **Reducing complexity in smart contracts:** the simpler the code, the lower the likelihood of security errors.
- **Utilizing protection systems against common attacks:** such as *Reentrancy* and *Integer Overflow* attacks.
- **Relying on test networks before deployment:** such as *Rinkeby* and *Goerli* to test contracts in a secure environment.
- **Implementing mechanisms to protect against price manipulation:** especially in contracts that rely on external data (*Oracles*).
- **Using self-verification techniques:** such as *Formal Verification* to ensure the correctness of contract execution.
