Avoid Vendoring Dependencies
Vendoring smart contracts or libraries—copying them directly into your project—can lead to significant risks, including:
Security Risks: Vendored code doesn't automatically benefit from updates or security patches, leaving your project vulnerable.
Auditing Challenges: Embedded dependencies are harder to track and audit, reducing transparency.
Upgradability Issues: Vendoring locks you into outdated versions, making it difficult to adopt new features or fixes.
Increased Complexity: Managing multiple vendored libraries adds unnecessary project overhead.
Best Practice: Use Package Managers
Leverage tools like npm, yarn, Forge, or Hardhat to manage dependencies efficiently. These tools ensure easy updates, version control, and compatibility, keeping your code secure and maintainable.
