A smart contract flaw refers to an error, bug, or logical inconsistency within the code of a smart contract. These imperfections can lead to unintended behavior, security vulnerabilities, or the loss of digital assets. Such flaws might permit unauthorized access, manipulation of contract logic, or the draining of associated funds. Rigorous auditing and testing are critical to identifying and rectifying these issues.
