Long time no write - but I was busy! We at @MakerDAO Protocol Engineering team examined the landscape of symbolic execution tools for Ethereum smart contracts. This is a first in a series of blog posts about our findings: A quick overview below ⬇️.

🎯.
> you can not prove that a contract is secure. Let’s unpack this. First, “secure” is a very fuzzy word. Without a clear definition, the statement is more about opinion than fact. But once we define what “secure” means for a given smart contract—i.e., all the things it should and.

Kontrol now decodes revert reasons and error messages in the output. Probably nothing.
Debugging Kontrol proofs got even easier 🔍. Kontrol now decodes failed proof outputs, showing actual error messages and interpreting failed built-in Solidity checks for issues like overflows. Plus pretty-printed constraints and streamlined output focused on the most relevant

See you in 40 minutes!.
Stop guessing your v4 hook is safe. Prove it. On Wednesday, @rv_inc demos Kontrol — turning your Foundry fuzz tests into formal proofs, sniffing out edge-case bugs, and shrinking debug cycles so your v4 hooks ship safely. 📅 July 2nd, 12PM ET. RSVP below ↓

Totally agree! FV should be for everyone, not just PhDs. That's why we worked on dev-friendly web3 FV since 2018 with MakerDAO, eventually providing developers an interface to write Foundry specs without needing another rule language!. Kontrol can find bugs before deployment—and.
Our competitors are pushing to use formal verification last and only by people holding Ph. Ds. We want every developer to use formal verification before the code is compiled.

An internal investigation revealed we still had something we hadn’t open-sourced — so we’re fixing that. Meet ERCx: a comprehensive test suite for ERC20, 721, 1155, and 4626 tokens, with _hundreds_ of Foundry tests: Pro tip: bookmark the online version.

1/ Security is a process. That’s why we’re building tooling that lives inside that process. Today, we’re open-sourcing another contribution to the @Optimism and more EVM-compatible ecosystems: the ERCx test suite, a rigorous, modular property-based testing library for ERC token

It was definitely one of the highlights of last week!.
That said, there were some highlights. Got to hang out with @palinatolmach and @BatisteFormal from @rv_inc. Had some great chats about the current security landscape and twitter content strategy.
