What is Formal Verification?
Formal verification is a method of mathematically proving that a computer program functions as intended.
It involves expressing the program’s properties as math formulas and checking them with automated tools.
Formal verification is used in computer hardware design, software engineering, cybersecurity, artificial Intelligence, automated theorem proving, and blockchain and smart contracts.
The process ensures that smart contracts are free from bugs and deviations through repeated verifications and corrections.
Formal verification and manual auditing work together to ensure stronger smart contract security.
Formal verification checks contract logic and behavior using automated methods. Manual auditing adds a human expert review of code, design, and deployment to identify security risks.
This provides comprehensive security evaluation and maximizes the chances of finding vulnerabilities.
