Automatic formal verification – Mathematically proving DApp correctness with the click of a button.
Cardano DApps currently lack accessible formal verification tools. This gap exposes them to security risks and potential economic loss, as current testing often misses vulnerabilities or requires deep expertise, high costs, and time.
1/5
This proposal is an automated formal verification tool to prove that DApps do not exhibit any security vulnerabilities and behave as expected across all scenarios. It will offer the possibility to automatically generate properties showing the absence of common security vulnerabilities and deadlocks. For specific business logic, users are only required to annotate their smart contracts with the expected requirements. It will automatically and mathematically prove the correctness of the DApp against all possible blockchain events or return a set of blockchain events leading to a requirement violation or an exploited vulnerability. Although aimed at UPLC and Plinth in 2025, the tool’s core is adaptable to any other smart contract language by the simple addition of a translator module.
🛠️ 2/5
This initiative aims to deliver automated security verification and ensure the highest code quality. Users and developers will benefit from greatly reduced vulnerabilities and significantly increased trust in Cardano's DApp ecosystem.

Static analyzer – Instantly detecting common security flaws and performance issues in smart contracts.
Smart contract bugs on any blockchain can lead to major financial losses. Traditional code reviews are slow, require deep expertise, and can still miss critical security or performance issues.
