Description:

As there is no fixed point type in Solidity, developers are required to implement their own using the standard integer data types. There are a number of pitfalls developers can run into during this process.

Remediations:

Keeping the right precision in your smart contracts is very important, especially when dealing ratios and rates which reflect economic decisions.
