Smart contracts are unforgiving. A single bug can vaporize millions of dollars. If you're coming from web development, forget everything you know about "move fast and break things" - here, breaking things means actually breaking things. With money. Real money.

This is where static analysis comes in. It's a technique that examines your code before deployment to automatically detect potential vulnerabilities. While no automated tool can guarantee security, static analysis can identify common pitfalls early in development.

This post:

• Explores static analysis capabilities and limitations for smart contracts security.
• Shows how this fits into TON security landscape through Misti.

Understanding static program analysis enables you to add an additional layer of automated security verification to your development process, catching some vulnerabilities before they reach production.
