Impact:
Likelihood:
Unused variable
Unused variable leads to wastage of gas
Description
The variable metadataFrozen is a boolean declared in the NFTDealers.sol file but is never used anywhere in the contract. it is never initialized, checked or updated anywhere in the contract logic.
bool public metadataFrozen;
Risk
Likelihood:
Probably medium since every state variable takes up storage space (typically a 32-byte slot)
Impact:
The presence of the unused variable indicates a missing functionality or error .
The presence of the unused variable also leads to wastage of gas in storage during deployment or contract interaction.
Proof of Concept
None
Recommended Mitigation
1. The protocol could add a new functionality that uses the variable or they could remove the line of code to save on gas storage
2. Use 'constant' or 'immuntable' since they are embedded directly in the bytecode and avoid taking up expensive storage slots
3. Group the variable with other related variables into a struct
