Understanding Smart Contracts
Smart contracts, those programmable and self-executing programs in blockchain systems, have revolutionized the crypto landscape since their debut on Ethereum. Solidity and similar languages enable traditional app developers to craft these intelligent contracts. However, due to blockchain's immutability, any errors or vulnerabilities in the contract code can result in catastrophic consequences.
Reentrancy, arithmetic overflow, flawed economic models, backend vulnerabilities, and mismanaged operations or private keys are potential pitfalls leading to disastrous asset losses. Some vulnerabilities may arise from project team mistakes, while others could be deliberate "backdoors" aimed at pilfering users' assets.

2. If the contract poses risks, the results will indicate potential issues that require attention. For instance, if the contract has a "Sell Tax: 100%" feature, it might be a common scam token known as "pyramid" coin. Additionally, you can examine the token's holdings information to determine if it is a potential "scam token." If several holders' percentages exceed 100%, it could be a red flag for a fraudulent token.
3. A normal contract check should produce results like the one below, indicating the token contract allows for an increase in total supply, with no risks of being unable to sell or common vulnerabilities detected.
