Therefore, efficient vulnerability detection of smart contract is the key to ensure the security of blockchain system. Oriented to Ethereum smart contract, the study solves the problems of redundant input and low coverage in the smart contract fuzz. In this paper, a taint analysis method based on EVM is proposed to reduce the invalid input, a dangerous operation database is designed to identify the dangerous input, and genetic algorithm is used to optimize the code coverage of the input, which construct the fuzzing framework for smart contract together. Finally, by comparing Oyente and ContractFuzzer, the performance and efficiency of the framework are proved.
