Research Summary: Attacks on Smart Contracts

In the key finding section, we notice that most if not all smart contract attacks can be mitigated with better coding practices. With this finding, we can infer that the programming language - Solidity - is also responsible for causing bugs.

The programming language is very nascent, notwithstanding the amount of dapps built with it. Everyday, developers are still figuring out different parameters for smart contract applications. While that happens, hackers also keep up with the updates and look for loopholes they can exploit.

Is this because of the Solidity language itself or how people are using it? That seems to be an important distinction.
