# Error Taxonomy

> The knowledge base behind Prism's intelligence.

The Error Taxonomy Database is a community-driven, versioned catalog of every known Soroban error code. It is the brain that turns numbers into English.

## Error Categories

The taxonomy covers all host error categories:

* **Budget**: CPU/Memory limits, invalid instruction sets.
* **Storage**: Missing entries, invalid footers, size limits.
* **Auth**: Signature failures, missing authorizations.
* **Context**: Invalid contract IDs, depth limits.
* **Value/Object**: Serialization errors, type mismatches.
* **Crypto**: Signature verification failures.

## Contributing

The database is stored as a series of TOML files. Contributors can add new entries, suggest better fixes, or update explanations as the Stellar protocol evolves.

See [Contributing to Taxonomy](/guides/contributing-taxonomy) for more details.
