Smart Contract Vulnerabilities in @dYdX Chain and Cosmos SDK.
The dYdX Chain, built on the Cosmos SDK, faces smart contract vulnerabilities that are critical to its operational and financial security.
These risks are present in both the core smart contracts and the bridges connecting dYdX with the Ethereum network.
Main Vulnerability Areas.
