Summary

Use safeMint instead of mint in Solidity contracts for enhanced security. safeMint ensures tokens are only minted to valid, non-zero addresses, preventing accidental loss of tokens.

Vulnerability Details

In Solidity contracts, safeMint should be preferred over mint to improve security and error handling during token creation. Unlike the basic mint function, safeMint performs additional checks and validations to ensure tokens are only minted to valid, non-zero addresses. This prevents the accidental minting of tokens to the zero address, which would make them irretrievable and lead to a loss of value.
