Summary

effectiveBalanceOf and staked are function have different name but some work in some contract.

Vulnerability Details

The scenario you're describing, where two functions (effectiveBalanceOf and staked) in a smart contract have different names but perform similar or the same tasks, can lead to several vulnerabilities or issues. Here's an analysis of potential problems and their implications in the context of a smart contract, typically in the Ethereum blockchain:

1. Inconsistent State Management
   If both functions are meant to retrieve the balance or staked amount but operate on different state variables or have different implementations, they could lead to inconsistent views of the contract's state. This inconsistency can be exploited or cause confusion among users.

2. Gas Inefficiency
   Having redundant functions performing the same task can lead to gas inefficiency. Users might unknowingly use a less gas-efficient function, leading to higher transaction costs.

3.Confusion and User Errors
Having functions with similar functionality but different names can confuse users and developers. This could lead to errors in interaction with the contract, such as calling the wrong function or misunderstanding the contract's logic.
