Audit and Formal Verification

Audit and formal verification are processes used to ensure the security and correctness of smart contract code. Audits involve manual and automated reviews by security experts to identify potential bugs and vulnerabilities.

Formal verification takes this further by using mathematical proofs to demonstrate that the contract logic strictly adheres to its specifications. These processes are essential for high-stakes financial protocols where a single bug could lead to the loss of millions in user funds.

They are the primary defense against catastrophic failure in the DeFi space.
