Abstract

As we know that the use of Blockchain is growing and so is the use of solidity a Programming language used for creating agreements on the Ethereum platform but is it really safe to use solidity. In this paper, I have researched on the main vulnerability of the programming language used for Smart contracts in the Ethereum environment (i.e., solidity) which is reentrancy, and my research proposal is that I have tried to provide a novel solution/ verification reentrancy detection tools. I have verified two important reentrancy vulnerability detection tools, Slither and Mythril, in searching for a new and ingenious solution. Since the tools were written in a programming language version that is outdated and throwing errors, I debugged the code of these two tools and some other tools too. I also experimented with brownie and python console on how to build a smart contract, deploy them and interact with other smart contracts to learn how the smart contracts work. I verified Slither and Mythril on different platforms, Kali Linux, Ubuntu, and Windows OS with various different datasets.
