Formal Verification

A mathematical approach to proving that smart contract code behaves exactly as intended for all possible inputs.

Definition

A mathematical approach to proving that smart contract code behaves exactly as intended for all possible inputs. Unlike testing which checks specific cases, formal verification proves correctness exhaustively. It's the gold standard for security but expensive and time-consuming, so it's usually reserved for critical code.
