Another interesting aspect that was mentioned is the homogeneity of software used at universities such as software handling emails. If a vulnerability (technical or legal) is found and exploited it could expose data for all institutions relying on this software.

In this work we present RAVEN, a framework that aligns reverted transactions to the invariant causing the reversion in the smart contract source code, embeds these invariants using our BERT-based fine-tuned model, ...

... and clusters them by semantic intent to mine defensive invariant categories on Ethereum. RAVEN can thus can map Ethereum’s successful defenses.
