Protocol Logic Manipulation

Definition

Protocol Logic Manipulation involves exploiting flaws or unintended behaviors within the underlying code or design of a blockchain protocol or smart contract. This allows an attacker to alter the intended operation of the system, often leading to unauthorized asset transfers, arbitrary changes in state, or financial gain. Such manipulation can stem from coding errors, design oversights, or unexpected interactions between different protocol components. Rigorous audits aim to prevent these exploits.
