The field of smart contract security is rapidly evolving, with a growing focus on identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities that can lead to significant financial losses. Recent research has highlighted the importance of moving beyond code-level vulnerabilities and considering the broader context of protocol logic design, lifecycle and governance, external dependencies, and traditional implementation bugs. Noteworthy papers in this area include SoK: Root Cause of $1 Billion Loss in Smart Contract Real-World Attacks, which introduces a novel four-tier root-cause framework for understanding smart contract vulnerabilities. Another notable paper is SAEL: Leveraging Large Language Models with Adaptive Mixture-of-Experts for Smart Contract Vulnerability Detection, which proposes a framework for smart contract vulnerability detection using large language models and adaptive mixture-of-experts architecture.
