Smart Contracts DOS Attack with ERC777 Tokens Explained

In this video, we explore how malicious actors can exploit hooks and callbacks in ERC777 tokens to launch a Denial-of-Service (DOS) attack on smart contracts.

🤔 What are ERC777 Tokens? ERC777 tokens, a standard on the Ethereum blockchain, bring improved fungibility and unique features like hooks and callbacks while maintaining compatibility with ERC20 tokens. These hooks allow developers to customize token behavior, opening up new possibilities.

🪝 Hooks and Callbacks: Learn how hooks in ERC777 tokens serve as entry points for custom code execution during token transfers. They offer flexibility but can be a double-edged sword.

💥 The DOS Attack Scenario: We delve into a hypothetical scenario where an external user uses ERC777 tokens to execute a DOS attack on a smart contract. Explore how callback reversion can block transactions and waste network resources.
