Audit Anomalies Archive — Issue#2

Payable functions play a crucial role in blockchain contracts, enabling users to send native ETH for various purposes like adding liquidity, staking assets, or purchasing NFTs. However, there’s an interesting scenario worth considering — one where a user inadvertently sends more Ether than intended. In such cases, a skilled developer can significantly enhance user experience by implementing a thoughtful approach. For instance, refunds the surplus Ether or offers a redemption option at a later point in time.

Failure to incorporate either of these solutions results in users losing the extra Ether, resulting in a bad user experience. Losing excess Ether not only affects user trust but also tarnishes the reputation of the contract and the developers and the project behind it.
