POS Smart Contract Formal Verification

Mathematical proof of correctness for your critical POS settlement and treasury management contracts. We deliver the highest assurance level against logic errors and financial exploits.
Chainscore © 2026
overview
CORE SERVICE

Smart Contract Development

Secure, audited smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers for production-grade applications.

We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the immutable logic layer of your dApp. Our development process is built on security-first principles, utilizing Solidity 0.8+, OpenZeppelin libraries, and comprehensive testing suites to ensure robustness before mainnet deployment.

  • Full Lifecycle Development: From initial specification and architecture to deployment and post-launch monitoring.
  • Multi-Protocol Expertise: EVM (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum), Solana (Rust/Anchor), and Cosmos SDK.
  • Gas Optimization: Code reviews focused on minimizing transaction costs for end-users.
  • Upgradeable Patterns: Implementation of secure proxy patterns (UUPS, Transparent) for future-proofing.

Deliver a secure, auditable, and efficient on-chain foundation. We ensure your core business logic is both resilient and adaptable.

PROVEN FRAMEWORK

Our Formal Verification Methodology

We apply a rigorous, multi-stage process to mathematically prove the correctness of your Proof-of-Stake smart contracts, eliminating critical vulnerabilities before deployment.

01

Specification & Modeling

We translate your protocol's business logic into precise, machine-readable specifications using TLA+ or Coq. This creates a formal model that defines the exact intended behavior of your staking, slashing, and reward distribution mechanisms.

Logic Coverage

Modeling Tools
02

Property Definition & Theorem Proving

We define and prove critical safety and liveness properties. This includes verifying invariants like "total stake never exceeds total supply" and proving the absence of reentrancy, overflow, and logic flaws in your contract's core functions.

Automated Symbolic Execution

Our tools exhaustively explore all possible execution paths of your Solidity/Vyper code using symbolic execution (Manticore, MythX). This identifies edge cases and complex attack vectors that traditional testing misses.

PROVEN METHODOLOGY

Our Engagement Process

A structured, collaborative approach to formal verification that integrates seamlessly with your development lifecycle, delivering mathematically proven security without disrupting your roadmap.

01

Requirement & Specification Analysis

We begin by collaborating with your team to define formal specifications for your PoS protocol's critical properties: slashing conditions, validator lifecycle, and consensus invariants. This ensures the verification targets your exact business logic and security requirements.

Modeling & Property Formalization

Our experts translate your Solidity/Vyper code into a formal model using tools like K-Framework or Coq. We codify your security properties (e.g., "no double signing," "correct reward distribution") into machine-verifiable theorems.

Automated Verification & Proof Generation

We systematically prove or disprove each property against the formal model. Any violation is documented as a counter-example, providing a concrete, reproducible test case to guide remediation.

Remediation Guidance & Iteration

We provide actionable, line-by-line remediation reports for any vulnerabilities discovered, followed by re-verification of the corrected code. This cycle continues until all critical properties are formally proven.

Technical & Commercial Questions

Formal Verification FAQs for POS Systems

Answers to the most common questions CTOs and technical founders ask when evaluating formal verification for their payment or point-of-sale smart contracts.

A standard formal verification engagement for a POS system takes 4-6 weeks, from specification to final report. This includes 1-2 weeks for requirement analysis, 2-3 weeks for modeling and verification, and 1 week for report generation and review. Complex protocols with multiple interacting contracts may extend to 8-10 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones at kickoff.
