WRONG COMMENT

https://code4rena.com/reports/2022-05-runes#07-use-safetransfersafetransferfrom-consistently-instead-of-transfertransferfrom Check caller is pendingAdmin and pendingAdmin โ‰  address(0) Should be check that msg.sender is the vetoer

REDUNDANT CHECK USING REQUIRE

There is check for msg.sender == vetoer in _burnVetoPower() and _setVetoer. And _burnVetoPower() is calling the _setVeoter(), so there will be double check for msg.sender

NO CHECK BOOL FOR USING LOW CALL FUNCTION IN _withdraw()

The function signature has a boolean return value and they indicate errors that way instead. By not checking the return value, operations that should have marked as failed, may potentially go through without actually making a payment. https://github.com/code-423n4/2022-08-nounsdao/blob/c1c7c6201d0247f92472419ff657b570f9104565/contracts/governance/NounsDAOLogicV2.sol#L783-L792

TYPO

There is typo in error message inside revert statement. 'NounsDAO::propose: proposal function information arity mismatch'

https://github.com/code-423n4/2022-08-nounsdao/blob/c1c7c6201d0247f92472419ff657b570f9104565/contracts/governance/NounsDAOLogicV2.sol#L205

REDUCE THE SIZE OF ERROR MESSAGES (LONG REVERT STRINGS)

Shortening revert strings to fit in 32 bytes will decrease deployment time gas and will decrease runtime gas when the revert condition is met.

Revert strings that are longer than 32 bytes require at least one additional mstore, along with additional overhead for computing memory offset, etc.

Revert strings > 32 bytes:

LOOPS CAN BE OPTIMIZED IN SEVERAL WAYS

To optimize this loop and make it consume less gas, we can do the foloowing things:

  1. If a variable is not set/initialized, it is assumed to have the default value (0 for uint, false for bool, address(0) for addressโ€ฆ). Explicitly initializing it with its default value is an anti-pattern and wastes gas.

  2. Use ++i instead of i++, which is a cheaper operation (in this case there is no difference between i++ and ++i because we dont use the return value of this expression, which is the only difference between these two expression).

  3. Reading array length at each iteration of the loop takes 6 gas (3 for mload and 3 to place memory_offset) in the stack.

Caching the array length in the stack saves around 3 gas per iteration. I suggest storing the arrayโ€™s length in a variable before the for-loop.

As an example:

for (uint256 i = 0; i < numIterations.length; i++) {

should be replaced with

for (uint256 i; i < newVariable; ++i) {

I suggest to change the code here:

SPLITTING REQUIRE() STATEMENTS THAT USE && SAVES GAS

Instead of using the && operator in a single require statement to check multiple conditions, I suggest using multiple require statements with 1 condition per require statement (saving 3 gas per &):
