Something isn't working
QA (Quality Assurance)
Assets are not at risk. State handling, function incorrect as to spec, issues with clarity, syntax
Title: Solidity compiler versions mismatch
Severity: Low Risk
The project is compiled with different versions of solidity, which is not recommended because it can lead to undefined behaviors.
Title: Named return issue
Severity: Low Risk
Users can mistakenly think that the return value is the named return, but it is actually the actualreturn statement that comes after. To know that the user needs to read the code and is confusing.
Furthermore, removing either the actual return or the named return will save gas.
Title: Assert instead require to validate user inputs
Severity: Low Risk
Title: Add a timelock
Severity: Low Risk
To give more trust to users: functions that set key/critical variables should be put behind a timelock.
Title: Init frontrun
Severity: Low Risk
Most contracts use an init pattern (instead of a constructor) to initialize contract parameters. Unless these are enforced to be atomic with contact deployment via deployment script or factory contracts, they are susceptible to front-running race conditions where an attacker/griefer can front-run (cannot access control because admin roles are not initialized) to initially with their own (malicious) parameters upon detecting (if an event is emitted) which the contract deployer has to redeploy wasting gas and risking other transactions from interacting with the attacker-initialized contract.
Many init functions do not have an explicit event emission which makes monitoring such scenarios harder. All of them have re-init checks; while many are explicit some (those in auction contracts) have implicit reinit checks in initAccessControls() which is better if converted to an explicit check in the main init function itself.

The vulnerable initialization functions in the codebase are:
Title: Not verified input
Severity: Low Risk
Title: Check transfer receiver is not 0 to avoid burned money
Severity: Low Risk
Transferring tokens to the zero address is usually prohibited to accidentally avoid "burning" tokens by sending them to an unrecoverable zero address.
Title: Does not validate the input fee parameter
Severity: Low Risk
Some fee parameters of functions are not checked for invalid values. Validate the parameters:
Title: Require with empty message
Severity: Low Risk
The following requires are with empty messages.
This is very important to add a message for any require. Such that the user has enough
information to know the reason of failure:
Title: Missing commenting
Severity: Low Risk
