System-level risks in smart contract engineering go far beyond writing safe Solidity code. Key failure points include MEV and sandwich attacks requiring slippage protection, flash loan exploits that assume atomic access to large capital, fragile oracle designs that trust manipulable spot prices instead of TWAP, non-uniform ERC
