Formal Verification

Why is formal verification essential for smart contract security, and how can you integrate it into your development workflow? Palina Tolmach, Tech Lead at Runtime Verification, explains formal verification principles and demonstrates how Kontrol can mathematically prove smart contract correctness.

• 🔹 What formal verification is, and how it significantly enhances smart contract security.
• 🔹 How Kontrol leverages Solidity tests to provide rigorous, mathematical guarantees about contract behavior.
• 🔹 Differences between formal verification, static analysis, traditional audits, and unit testing.
• 🔹 Practical examples of using Kontrol to detect complex bugs and subtle logic errors in smart contracts.
• 🔹 How to seamlessly integrate Kontrol into your existing CI pipeline for continuous security validation.
• 🔹 Overview of other Runtime Verification tools, including the Symbolic Debugger.
