[L-01] Missing zero address for constructor

Code Snipped

https://github.com/code-423n4/2022-10-paladin/blob/d6d0c0e57ad80f15e9691086c9c7270d4ccfe0e6/contracts/WardenPledge.sol#L131

Recommendation

Checking addresses against zero-address during initialization in constructor is a security best-practice. However, such checks are missing in multiple constructors.
 Allowing zero-addresses will lead to contract reverts and force redeployments if there are no setters for such address variables. So we recommend to Add zero-address checks in the constructors.

[L-02] Missing check zero address

code snipped

https://github.com/code-423n4/2022-10-paladin/blob/d6d0c0e57ad80f15e9691086c9c7270d4ccfe0e6/contracts/WardenPledge.sol#L222

recommendation

to avoid zero address in parameter input. we suggest to add zero check address to the function.

[N-01] Missing indexed field

recommendation

event is missing indexed fields in important parameter. we recommend indexed at important field for increase creadibility.

[G-01] Use storage instead memory

When fetching data from a storage location, assigning the data to a memory variable causes all fields of the struct/array to be read from storage, which incurs a Gcoldsload (2100 gas) for each field of the struct/array. If the fields are read from the new memory variable, they incur an additional MLOAD rather than a cheap stack read. Instead of declearing the variable with the memory keyword, declaring the variable with the storage keyword and caching any fields that need to be re-read in stack variables, will be much cheaper, only incuring the Gcoldsload for the fields actually read. The only time it makes sense to read the whole struct/array into a memory variable, is if the full struct/array is being returned by the function, is being passed to a function that requires memory, or if the array/struct is being read from another memory array/struct

recommendation

use storage instead memory

[G-02] x -= y (x += y) costs more gas than x = x – y (x = x + y) for state variables

x -= y costs more gas than x = x – y for state variables.

recommendation

split x -= y (x += y) to x = x – y (x = x + y).
