We architect and deploy custom smart contracts that form the secure foundation of your dApp. Our development process is built on audited best practices and battle-tested patterns from OpenZeppelin and Solmate.
Formal Verification Integration & Tooling
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3-native engineers.
- Security-First Development: Every contract undergoes peer review and automated analysis with
SlitherandMythXbefore deployment. - Gas Optimization: We write for efficiency, delivering contracts with up to 40% lower gas costs for your users.
- Full-Suite Support: From
ERC-20/ERC-721tokens to complex DeFi logic and DAO governance, we build the entire on-chain layer.
We deliver auditable, upgradeable code that reduces your time-to-market from months to weeks.
What Our Formal Verification Integration Delivers
We integrate formal verification directly into your development lifecycle, delivering mathematically proven security for your smart contracts and protocols.
Business Outcomes: Why Integrate Formal Verification
Move beyond traditional audits. Formal verification mathematically proves your smart contracts behave as intended, delivering tangible business value and de-risking your core asset.
Eliminate Critical Vulnerabilities
We mathematically prove the absence of reentrancy, overflow, and logic flaws in your core business logic, preventing exploits before deployment.
Accelerate Time-to-Market
Integrate verification into your CI/CD pipeline. Automated property checking replaces weeks of manual review, allowing faster, confident releases.
Reduce Insurance & Audit Costs
Formally verified contracts significantly lower risk premiums from insurers like Nexus Mutual and reduce the scope/cost of manual security audits.
Build Unshakeable Trust
Provide cryptographic proof of correctness to users, investors, and partners. A verifiably secure contract is a competitive advantage in DeFi and Web3.
Future-Proof Protocol Upgrades
Formal specifications act as a single source of truth. Ensure new features and optimizations do not violate core protocol invariants.

Our Integration & Delivery Process
A structured, four-phase engagement model designed to deliver mathematically verified security and production-ready tooling with minimal disruption to your development workflow.
Phase 1: Architecture & Specification Review
We conduct a deep-dive analysis of your protocol's architecture and business logic to define formal specifications. This creates the unambiguous mathematical foundation for verification.
Client Value: Eliminates ambiguity early, ensuring the verification targets your most critical security and functional requirements.
Phase 2: Toolchain Integration & Environment Setup
We integrate formal verification tools (e.g., Certora Prover, Halmos, Foundry) directly into your CI/CD pipeline and developer environment, providing custom scripts and configuration.
Client Value: Developers get immediate feedback on property violations, shifting security left and preventing bugs from being merged.
Phase 3: Property Formalization & Rule Writing
Our experts translate your specifications into executable verification rules and invariants. We handle the complexity of the formal logic so your team can focus on building features.
Client Value: Gain a comprehensive, executable security rulebook that automatically validates every code change against critical protocol properties.
Phase 4: Verification Execution & Audit Support
We run the full verification suite, analyze counterexamples, and work with your team to remediate issues. Deliverables include a formal verification report to complement external audits.
Client Value: Ships with mathematically proven security guarantees and a robust report that strengthens your audit posture and investor confidence.
Formal Verification Integration FAQs
Answers to common questions from CTOs and engineering leads evaluating formal verification for their protocol's security and reliability.
A standard engagement for a core smart contract module (e.g., a token vault, AMM math library) takes 3-5 weeks. This includes specification writing, theorem proving, and final report delivery. Complex, multi-contract systems (like a full DEX or lending protocol) typically require 6-10 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones after the initial scoping call.
