Security

When dealing with Solidity, precision loss is one of those subtle yet devastating issues that can sneak into your code unnoticed—until it’s too late. A tiny miscalculation can cascade into major financial discrepancies, potentially draining funds, misallocating rewards, or even opening doors to exploits. Understanding how and why this happens is critical for writing secure and reliable smart contracts.

But why does Solidity even have precision issues in the first place?
