Recommended Steps for Developing Optimized and Secure Smart Contracts

Abstract

Blockchain technology and smart contracts are central to decentralized applications. Operating on blockchain introduces challenges in design, development, and execution costs. On Ethereum, gas fees make optimization essential. This paper analyzes common mistakes affecting gas consumption and outlines strategies to improve efficiency. Using literature review and error systematization, key issues are identified and practical steps proposed. These recommendations, grounded in scientific research, aim to help developers design optimized and cost-effective smart contracts.
