Our Formal Verification Methodology
We apply rigorous, mathematical proof techniques to verify the safety and liveness properties of your consensus mechanism. This eliminates critical vulnerabilities before deployment, ensuring your network operates as intended under all conditions.
Specification & Property Definition
We translate your consensus protocol's intended behavior into formal, machine-readable specifications. This includes defining critical safety properties (e.g., no double-spend) and liveness properties (e.g., eventual transaction inclusion).
Model Construction & Abstraction
We build a precise mathematical model of your protocol, abstracting away implementation details to focus on core logic. This model serves as the single source of truth for automated theorem proving and model checking.
Automated Theorem Proving
Using tools like Isabelle/HOL or Coq, we construct mathematical proofs that your model satisfies all defined properties. This provides the highest level of assurance, proving correctness for all possible system states and inputs.
Model Checking & State Exploration
We complement theorem proving with exhaustive model checking (using TLA+ or similar) to explore all possible execution paths within a bounded state space, identifying edge cases and concurrency bugs.
Code-Level Verification
We bridge the gap between the formal model and the actual implementation. Using tools like the K Framework or VeriSol, we verify that the production code (Solidity, Rust, Go) correctly implements the proven model.
Comprehensive Audit Report
You receive a detailed, actionable report with the formal specifications, proof scripts, model check results, and a clear assessment of any discovered issues with remediation guidance. This document serves as a critical trust signal for stakeholders and auditors.
Why Founders and CTOs Choose Formal Verification
Beyond standard audits, formal verification provides mathematical proof of correctness for your protocol's core logic, eliminating entire categories of risk and building unshakable trust with users and investors.
Mathematical Proof of Correctness
We use automated theorem provers like Coq and K-framework to generate mathematical proofs that your consensus mechanism's state transitions and invariants are logically sound, eliminating speculation from security.
Prevent Catastrophic Consensus Failures
Formally verify liveness, safety, and Byzantine fault tolerance properties to prevent chain splits, double-spends, and validator equivocation—failures that can destroy a network's value.
Accelerate Investor & Partner Due Diligence
Provide verifiable, machine-checked proofs instead of manual audit reports. This drastically reduces technical diligence cycles for VCs, exchanges, and institutional partners.
Future-Proof Protocol Upgrades
Formal specifications act as a single source of truth. Test hard forks and governance changes against the spec before deployment, ensuring upgrades don't introduce subtle consensus bugs.
Reduce Long-Term Security Debt
A verified core reduces the attack surface permanently. This lowers ongoing audit costs, bug bounty payouts, and engineering time spent on reactive security patches.
Build Unbreakable Market Trust
In a market skeptical of exploits, a formally verified consensus layer is a powerful differentiator. It signals engineering rigor and long-term commitment to user funds.
Formal Verification vs. Traditional Security Reviews
Choosing the right security methodology for your consensus mechanism is critical. This table compares the depth, guarantees, and resource requirements of Formal Verification against conventional audits.
| Security Aspect | Traditional Security Review | Formal Verification (Chainscore) |
|---|---|---|
Verification Method | Manual code review & heuristic testing | Mathematical proof of correctness |
Security Guarantee | Probabilistic (finds bugs) | Deterministic (proves absence of specific bugs) |
Coverage Scope | Sample-based; depends on test cases | Exhaustive for specified properties |
Time to Completion | 2-4 weeks for initial report | 4-8 weeks for full property specification & proof |
Cost Range | $15K - $50K (one-time) | $75K - $200K+ (project-based) |
Ideal For | General smart contract logic, post-development | Core consensus logic, protocol invariants, pre-launch |
Output | Vulnerability report with severity ratings | Formal proof document & machine-verifiable specifications |
Team Requirement | Senior security auditors | PhD-level researchers & formal methods engineers |
Ongoing Value | Snapshot in time; requires re-audits for changes | Reusable specifications for future protocol upgrades |
Protocols We Verify
Our formal verification team specializes in mathematically proving the correctness of the most critical consensus mechanisms. We deliver exhaustive security guarantees for protocols that secure billions in value.
Custom Consensus Engines
End-to-end formal specification and verification of novel consensus mechanisms. From whitepaper to production code, we deliver machine-checked proofs for your protocol's core innovation.
Smart Contract Development
