Abstract
Smart contracts (SCs) significance and popularity increased exponentially with the escalation of decentralised applications (dApps), which revolutionised programming paradigms where network controls rest within a central authority. Since SCs constitute the core of such applications, developing and deploying contracts without vulnerability issues become key to improve dApps robustness to external attacks. This paper introduces a dataset that combines smart contract metrics with vulnerability data identified using Slither, a leading static analysis tool proficient in detecting a wide spectrum of vulnerabilities. Our primary goal is to provide a resource for the community that supports exploratory analysis, such as investigating the relationship between contract metrics and vulnerability occurrences. Further, we discuss the potential of this dataset for the development and validation of predictive models aimed at identifying vulnerabilities, thereby contributing to the enhancement of smart contract security. Through this dataset, we invite researchers and practitioners to study the dynamics of smart contract vulnerabilities, fostering advancements in detection methods and ultimately, fortifying the resilience of smart contracts.
