Each function call or external call consumes gas, and when executed within a loop, the gas cost multiplies, potentially causing the transaction to run out of gas or exceed block gas limits. This can result in transaction failure or unpredictable behavior.

### [N-02] Non-library/interface files should use fixed compiler versions, not floating ones Floating pragmas may lead to unintended vulnerabilities due to different compiler versions. It is recommended to lock the Solidity version in pragma statements.

### [N-03] Array indices should be referenced via `enum`s rather than via numeric literals Using constant array indexes can make your Solidity code harder to read and maintain. To improve clarity, consider using commented enum values in place of constant array indexes. Enums provide a way to define a type that has a few pre-defined values, making your code more self-explanatory and easy to understand. This can be particularly helpful in large codebases or when working with a team.

### [N-04] Missing Event Emission After Critical Initialize() Function Emitting an initialization event offers clear, on-chain evidence of the contract's initialization state, enhancing transparency and auditability. This practice aids users and developers in accurately tracking the contract's lifecycle, pinpointing the precise moment of its initialization. Moreover, it aligns with best practices for event logging in smart contracts, ensuring that significant state changes are both observable and verifiable through emitted events.

### [N-05] Mixed usage of `int/uint` with `int256/uint256` In Solidity, int256 and uint256 are the preferred type names, especially since they are used for function signatures. Using int or uint instead can lead to confusion and inconsistency. Suggest replacing them with int256 or uint256 respectively, for better clarity and uniformity in your codebase. Improving this aspect of your code can contribute to its readability, understandability, and thus maintainability in the long term.

### [N-06] Variables need not be initialized to zero By default, `int/uint` variables in Solidity are initialized to `zero`. Explicitly setting variables to zero during their declaration is redundant and might cause confusion. Removing the explicit zero initialization can improve code readability and understanding.

### [N-08] Multiple `address`/ID mappings can be combined into a single `mapping` of an `address`/ID to a `struct`, for readability Combining multiple address/ID mappings into a single mapping to a struct can enhance code clarity and maintainability. Consider refactoring multiple mappings into a single mapping with a struct for cleaner code structure. This arrangement also promotes a more organized contract structure, making it easier for developers to navigate and understand.

### [N-09] Consider returning a `struct` rather than having multiple `return` values Functions that return many variables can become difficult to read and maintain. Using a struct to encapsulate these return values can improve code readability, increase reusability, and reduce the likelihood of errors. Consider refactoring functions that return more than three variables to use a struct instead.

### [N-12] Consider using descriptive `constant`s when passing zero as a function argument In instances where utilizing a zero parameter is essential, it is recommended to employ descriptive constants or an enum instead of directly integrating zero within function calls. This strategy aids in clearly articulating the caller's intention and minimizes the risk of errors. Emitting zero also not recomended, as it is not clear what the intention is.

### [N-13] Avoid Empty Blocks in Code Empty blocks in code can lead to confusion and the introduction of errors when the code is later modified. They should be removed, or the block should do something useful, such as emitting an event or reverting. For contracts meant to be extended, the contract should be abstract and the function signatures added without any default implementation.

### [N-14] Interfaces and Contracts in the Same File Interfaces should be declared in a separate file and not in the same file where the contract resides. This helps in maintaining a clean and organized codebase.

### [N-15] Multiple Contracts Declared in Single File Declaring multiple contracts within a single file can make code more difficult to understand and maintain. It is recommended to declare each contract in its own file, following the one contract per file rule.

### [N-16] `uint/int` variables should have the bit size defined explicitly In Solidity, int256 and uint256 are the preferred type names, especially since they are used for function signatures. Using int or uint instead can lead to confusion and inconsistency.

### [N-17] Consider using `delete` rather than assigning `false` to clear values The use of the delete keyword is recommended over simply assigning values to false when you intend to reset the state of a variable. The delete keyword more closely aligns with the semantic intent of clearing or resetting a variable. This practice also makes the code more readable and highlights the change in state, which may encourage a more thorough audit of the surrounding logic.

### [N-19] Consider moving duplicated strings to constants Reusing string literals in this manner can lead to inconsistencies and makes the code harder to maintain. It's recommended to define such strings as constants, which promotes easier updates and ensures uniformity across the codebase.

### [N-20] Consider using named returns Using named returns makes the code more self-documenting, makes it easier to fill out NatSpec, and in some cases can save gas. The cases below are where there currently is at most one return statement, which is ideal for named returns.

### [N-21] Expressions for constant values should use `immutable` rather than `constant` While it does not save gas for some simple binary expressions because the compiler knows that developers often make this mistake, it's still best to use the right tool for the task at hand. There is a difference between `constant` variables and immutable variables, and they should each be used in their appropriate contexts. `constant`s should be used for literal values written into the code, and immutable variables should be used for expressions, or values calculated in, or passed into the constructor.

### [N-24] Function Parameters in Public Accessible Functions Need `address(0)` Check Parameters of type `address` in your functions should be checked to ensure that they are not assigned the null address (`address(0x0)`). Failure to validate these parameters can lead to transaction reverts, wasted gas, the need for transaction resubmission, and may even require redeployment of contracts within the protocol in certain situations. Implement checks for `address(0x0)` to avoid these potential issues.

### [N-26] Leverage Recent Solidity Features with `0.8.23` The recent updates in Solidity provide several features and optimizations that, when leveraged appropriately, can significantly improve your contract's code clarity and maintainability. Key enhancements include the use of push0 for placing 0 on the stack for EVM versions starting from "Shanghai", making your code simpler and more straightforward. Moreover, Solidity has extended NatSpec documentation support to enum and struct definitions, facilitating more comprehensive and insightful code documentation. Additionally, the re-implementation of the UnusedAssignEliminator and UnusedStoreEliminator in the Solidity optimizer provides the ability to remove unused assignments in deeply nested loops. This results in a cleaner, more efficient contract code, reducing clutter and potential points of confusion during code review or debugging. It's recommended to make full use of these features and optimizations to enhance the robustness and readability of your smart contracts.

### [N-28] High cyclomatic complexity Functions with high cyclomatic complexity are harder to understand, test, and maintain. Consider breaking down these blocks into more manageable units, by splitting things into utility functions, by reducing nesting, and by using early returns.

### [N-29] Contract should expose an `interface` Exposing an interface in a smart contract allows for easier integration by other projects and developers. Without an interface, there's a risk that other projects will have to develop non-standard variants to interact with your contract. It's highly recommended to define an interface for clearer and more robust collaboration.

### [N-30] Critical system parameter changes should be behind a timelock It is a good practice to give time for users to react and adjust to critical changes. A timelock provides more guarantees and reduces the level of trust required, thus decreasing risk for users. It also indicates that the project is legitimate (less risk of a malicious owner making a sandwich attack on a user).

### [N-31] Outdated Solidity Version The current Solidity version used in the contract is outdated. Consider using a more recent version for improved features and security. 0.8.4: bytes.concat() instead of abi.encodePacked(,) 0.8.12: string.concat() instead of abi.encodePacked(,) 0.8.13: Ability to use using for with a list of free functions 0.8.14: ABI Encoder: When ABI-encoding values from calldata that contain nested arrays, correctly validate the nested array length against calldatasize() in all cases. Override Checker: Allow changing data location for parameters only when overriding external functions. 0.8.15: Code Generation: Avoid writing dirty bytes to storage when copying bytes arrays. Yul Optimizer: Keep all memory side-effects of inline assembly blocks. 0.8.16: Code Generation: Fix data corruption that affected ABI-encoding of calldata values represented by tuples: structs at any nesting level; argument lists of external functions, events and errors; return value lists of external functions. The 32 leading bytes of the first dynamically-encoded value in the tuple would get zeroed when the last component contained a statically-encoded array. 0.8.17: Yul Optimizer: Prevent the incorrect removal of storage writes before calls to Yul functions that conditionally terminate the external EVM call.

### [N-33] Assembly blocks should have extensive comments Large assembly blocks require extensive comments to aid understanding and code auditing. Assembly code takes more time to audit than normal Solidity code and often contains intricate details that aren't as apparent as in higher-level languages. The identified assembly blocks in your contract appear to lack sufficient comments. Consider adding more comments explaining what each step of the assembly code does.

### [N-34] State-Altering Functions Should Emit Events Functions that alter state should emit events to inform users of the state change. This is crucial for functions that modify the state and don't return a value. The absence of events in such scenarios could lead to lack of transparency and traceability, undermining the contract's reliability.

### [N-35] Upgrade `openzeppelin` to the Latest Version - 5.0.0 These contracts import contracts from @openzeppelin/contracts but they are not using the latest version. For more information, please visit: [OpenZeppelin GitHub Releases](https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/releases) It is recommended to always use the latest version to take advantage of updates and security fixes.

### [N-36] Interface Names Should Begin with a Capital `I` It is a common practice in Solidity programming to prefix the names of interfaces with a capital 'I'. This helps to clearly distinguish interfaces from other types of contracts, such as ordinary contracts or libraries, enhancing the readability and maintainability of the code.

### [N-37] Duplicated `require()`/`revert()` checks should be refactored to a modifier or function Duplicated require() or revert() checks should be refactored to a modifier or function. This helps in maintaining a clean and organized codebase and saves deployment costs.

### [N-38] Non-specific Imports The current form of relative path import is not recommended for use because it can unpredictably pollute the namespace.

### [N-39] Event is not properly `indexed` Index event fields make the field more quickly accessible to off-chain tools that parse events. This is especially useful when it comes to filtering based on an address. However, note that each index field costs extra gas during emission, so it's not necessarily best to index the maximum allowed per event (three fields). Where applicable, each event should use three indexed fields if there are three or more fields, and gas usage is not particularly of concern for the events in question. If there are fewer than three applicable fields, all of the applicable fields should be indexed.

### [N-40] Consider Adding Emergency-Stop Functionality Smart contracts that hold significant value, interact with external contracts, or have complex logic should include an emergency-stop mechanism for added security. This allows pausing certain contract functionalities in case of emergencies, mitigating potential damages. This contract seems to lack such a mechanism. Implementing an emergency stop can enhance contract security and reliability.

### [N-42] Not using the named return variables anywhere in the function is confusing Declaring a named return variable but returning a different value within the function is an inconsistent use of named return variables. This practice can lead to confusion and misinterpretation of the function's intended behavior, as it contradicts the purpose of declaring named return variables, which is to enhance readability and reduce complexity in the code. This inconsistency might signal an error in the function logic where the declared return variable is not being used as intended. It is recommended to revisit the function's logic to ensure that the named return variables are being utilized correctly, or to adjust the return statements to reflect the actual values being returned, fostering better clarity and coherence in the code.

### [N-43] Function Names Not in mixedCase Function names should use mixedCase for better readability and consistency with Solidity style guidelines. Examples of good practice include: getBalance, transfer, verifyOwner, addMember, changeOwner.

### [N-44] Insufficient Comments in Complex Functions Complex functions spanning multiple lines should have more comments to better explain the purpose of each logic step. Proper commenting can greatly improve the readability and maintainability of the codebase. Consider adding explicit comments to provide insights into the function's operation.

### [N-45] Common functions should be refactored to a common base contract The codebase contains several functions with the same implementations across multiple files. To enhance maintainability and reduce potential errors, consider refactoring these common functions into a shared base contract. This practice promotes code reuse and easier future upgrades.

### [N-46] `constant`s should be defined rather than using magic numbers Magic numbers are hardcoded numerical values used directly in the code, making it harder to read and maintain. Consider using constants instead of magic numbers.

### [N-47] Consider moving `msg.sender` checks to a common authorization `modifier` Functions that are only allowed to be called by a specific actor should use a modifier to check if the caller is the specified actor (e.g., owner, specific role, etc.). Using `require` to check `msg.sender` in the function body is less efficient and less clear. Consider refactoring these `require` statements into a modifier for better readability, organization, and gas efficiency.

### [N-48] Style guide: Non-`external`/`public` function names should begin with an underscore In Solidity, it is suggested to use a leading underscore for non-public (private and internal) function names. This convention helps to distinguish clearly between public/external and non-public functions, improving code clarity. By adhering to this convention, developers can mitigate potential misinterpretation or errors, thus making the code more comprehensible and easier to maintain.

### [N-49] Unused Function Parameters Function parameters that are not used within the function body can introduce confusion and reduce code clarity. It's recommended to comment out the variable name or remove it if not needed. This will not only improve the readability of the code but also suppress any compiler warnings associated with unused parameters. Ensure that removing or commenting out the parameter doesn't affect any function calls or overrides in derived contracts. If function is `virtual`, it's recommended to remove the parameter name from the function declaration.

### [N-51] Consider making contracts `Upgradeable` Contract uses a non-upgradeable design. Transitioning to an upgradeable contract structure is more aligned with contemporary smart contract practices. This approach not only enhances flexibility but also allows for continuous improvement and adaptation, ensuring the contract stays relevant and robust in an ever-evolving ecosystem.

### [N-52] Events that mark critical parameter changes should contain both the old and the new value When emitting events that signify critical changes in parameters, it's important to include both the old and new values. This aids in auditability, providing more complete information about the state change. It's especially necessary when the new value isn't required to be different from the old one, as this prevents ambiguity in event logs.

### [N-53] Style guide: Non-`external`/`public` variable names should begin with an underscore The naming convention for non-public (private and internal) variables in Solidity recommends the use of a leading underscore. Since `constants` can be public, to avoid confusion, they should also be prefixed with an underscore. This practice clearly differentiates between public/external and non-public variables, enhancing code clarity and reducing the likelihood of misinterpretation or errors. Following this convention improves code readability and maintainability.

### [N-55] Using Low-Level Call for Transfers Directly using low-level calls for Ether transfers can introduce vulnerabilities and obscure the intent of your transfers. Adopt modern Solidity best practices by switching to recognized libraries like `SafeTransferLib.safeTransferETH` or `Address.sendValue`. This ensures safer transactions, enhances code clarity, and aligns with the standards of the Solidity community.

### [N-56] Consider bounding input array length The functions in question operate on arrays without established boundaries, executing function calls for each of their entries. If these arrays become excessively long, a function might revert due to gas constraints. To enhance user experience, consider incorporating a `require()` statement that enforces a sensible maximum array length. This approach can avoid unnecessary computational work and ensure smoother transactions.

### [N-57] Constants in comparisons should appear on the left side Placing constants on the left side of comparison statements can help prevent accidental assignments and improve code readability. In languages like C, placing constants on the left can protect against unintended assignments that would be treated as true conditions, leading to bugs. Although Solidity does not have this specific issue, using the same practice can still be beneficial for code readability and consistency. Consider placing constants on the left side of comparison operators like `==`, `!=`, `<`, `>`, `<=`, and `>=`."

```solidity File: contracts/Governance/AccessControlManager.sol /// @audit Missing named import for parent contract: `AccessControl` 52: contract AccessControlManager is AccessControl, IAccessControlManagerV8 { /// @audit Missing named import for parent contract: `IAccessControlManagerV8` 52: contract AccessControlManager is AccessControl, IAccessControlManagerV8 { ``` [52](https://github.com/VenusProtocol/governance-contracts//blob/main/contracts/Governance/AccessControlManager.sol#L52) | [52](https://github.com/VenusProtocol/governance-contracts//blob/main/contracts/Governance/AccessControlManager.sol#L52)

### [N-59] Long functions should be refactored into multiple, smaller, functions Functions that span many lines can be hard to understand and maintain. It is often beneficial to refactor long functions into multiple smaller functions. This improves readability, makes testing easier, and can even lead to gas optimization if it eliminates the need for variables that would otherwise have to be stored in memory.

### [N-60] `public` functions not called by the contract should be declared `external` instead Contracts are allowed to override their parents' functions and change the visibility from `external` to `public`. If a `public` function is not called internally within the contract, it should be declared as `external` to save gas.

### [N-62] Non-assembly High-Level Solidity Functions Available Usage of inline assembly can increase the complexity of a project and potentially introduce security risks. It's best to avoid using inline assembly where possible, especially when equivalent non-assembly methods are available.

### [N-63] `else`-block not required In Solidity, if an `if` block contains a `return` statement, subsequent `else` blocks become unnecessary. This is because the `return` statement halts the execution of the function at that point, making any `else` conditions redundant. Therefore, omitting `else` after such `if` blocks can lead to cleaner and more readable code without any change in the functionality.

### [N-64] Style guide: Function ordering does not follow the Solidity style guide Ordering helps readers identify which functions they can call and to find the constructor and fallback definitions easier. But there are contracts in the project that do not comply with this. Functions should be grouped according to their visibility and ordered: - constructor - receive function (if exists) - fallback function (if exists) - external - public - internal - private.

### [N-68] Contract/Libraries Names Do Not Match Their Filenames According to the Solidity Style Guide, contract names should match their filenames. Mismatching contract names and filenames can lead to confusion and make the code harder to maintain and review.

3 issue instances in 3 files:

```solidity File: contracts/legacy/GovernorBravoInterfaces.sol 12: contract GovernorBravoEventsV1 { ``` [12](https://github.com/VenusProtocol/governance-contracts//blob/main/contracts/legacy/GovernorBravoInterfaces.sol#L12) ```solidity File: contracts/Governance/GovernorBravoInterfaces.sol 9: contract GovernorBravoEvents { ``` [9](https://github.com/VenusProtocol/governance-contracts//blob/main/contracts/Governance/GovernorBravoInterfaces.sol#L9) ```solidity File: contracts/Governance/AccessControlManager.sol 43: contract Comptroller is [...] AccessControlledV8 { ``` [43](https://github.com/VenusProtocol/governance-contracts//blob/main/contracts/Governance/AccessControlManager.sol#L43)

### [N-69] Unused import The contract contains import statements for libraries or other contracts that are not utilized within the code. Excessive or unused imports can clutter the codebase, leading to inefficiency and potential confusion. Consider removing any imports that are not essential to the contract's functionality.

### [N-70] `if`-statement can be converted to a ternary The ternary operator provides a shorthand way to write if / else statements. It can improve readability and reduce the number of lines of code. Traditional `if / else` statements, particularly those spanning only a one lines, could potentially be refactored using the ternary operator.

### [N-71] Setters should prevent re-setting of the same value Setter functions should include a condition to check if the new value being assigned is different from the current value. This practice prevents redundant state changes and the emission of unnecessary events, ensuring that changes only occur when actual updates to the values are made. This not only helps to maintain the integrity of the contract's state but also keeps the event logs cleaner and more meaningful by avoiding the recording of identical consecutive values. Such an approach can improve the clarity and efficiency of debugging and data tracking processes.

### [N-72] Contracts should have full test coverage It's recommended to have full test coverage for all contracts. While 100% code coverage does not guarantee absence of bugs, it can catch simple bugs and reduce regressions during code modifications. Moreover, to achieve full coverage, authors often have to refactor their code into more modular components, each testable separately. This leads to lower interdependencies, and results in code that is easier to understand and audit.

### [N-73] Large or complicated code bases should implement invariant tests Large or complex code bases should include invariant fuzzing tests, such as those provided by Echidna. These tests require the identification of invariants that should not be violated under any circumstances, with the fuzzer testing various inputs and function calls to ensure these invariants always hold. This is especially important for code with a lot of inline-assembly, complicated math, or complex interactions between contracts. Despite having 100% code coverage, bugs can still occur due to the order of operations a user performs. Extensive and well-written invariant tests can significantly reduce this testing gap.

### [N-74] Implement Formal Verification Proofs to Improve Security Formal verification offers a mathematical proof confirming that your code operates as intended and is devoid of edge cases that may lead to unintended behavior. By leveraging this rigorous audit technique, you not only enhance the robustness of your code but also strengthen the trust of stakeholders in the safety of your contract.
