Abstract

This technical disclosure describes methods for defending smart contracts against automated analysis tools through intentional semantic incoherence. The disclosed techniques include state incoherence patterns, behavioural incoherence mechanisms, structural incoherence implementations, and signal pollution strategies. These methods cause automated analysis tools to malfunction when attempting to analyse protected contracts, providing a novel defensive layer against reconnaissance and attack planning. This document is published as a defensive publication to establish prior art and prevent third parties from obtaining patent protection for similar approaches.
