summary

Covers the DAO reentrancy exploit that drained 3.5 million ether and lists concrete defenses: add invariant checks to assert totalSupply relations, design updatable contracts with restricted upgraders or token-holder voting, include time delays and escape hatches so restores can be vetoed, minimize on-chain complexity, reuse audited libraries, and prefer multisig/canary keys for emergency control. Recommends tools and work in progress: formal verification, better compiler warnings, improved IDEs like Remix, and audited standard token implementations.
