Move Prover & Cairo Formal Verification
Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built for scale and compliance.
Deliver a market-ready product in 4-6 weeks, not months, with battle-tested Solidity and Vyper code.
- Token Standards: Custom
ERC-20,ERC-721,ERC-1155, andERC-4626vaults with advanced features like minting schedules and governance hooks. - DeFi & dApps: Automated Market Makers (AMMs), lending/borrowing pools, staking mechanisms, and multi-signature wallets.
- Security & Compliance: Adherence to OpenZeppelin standards, integration with tools like Slither and MythX, and preparation for third-party audits from firms like CertiK or Quantstamp.
Our Formal Verification Capabilities
We apply mathematical rigor to guarantee the correctness of your Move and Cairo smart contracts, eliminating entire classes of vulnerabilities before deployment.
Specification Development
We translate your business requirements and invariants into precise, machine-verifiable specifications. This creates a single source of truth for what your contract must and must not do.
Invariant & Property Testing
Beyond basic functions, we verify critical system-wide invariants (e.g., "total supply is constant", "no unauthorized minting") and temporal properties to prevent reentrancy and state corruption.
Audit-Ready Code Delivery
We deliver formally verified contracts with comprehensive specification documents. This drastically reduces manual audit time and cost, providing auditors with a proven foundation for their review.
Developer Training & Workflow
We train your engineering team on writing verifiable code and integrating formal methods into your CI/CD. We provide templates and tooling to maintain verification standards.
Why Mathematically Verified Contracts Win
Move Prover and Cairo formal verification transform contract security from probabilistic to deterministic. We deliver mathematically proven correctness, eliminating entire classes of vulnerabilities before deployment.
Zero Critical Bugs at Launch
We deliver contracts with mathematically proven correctness against your formal specifications. This eliminates critical vulnerabilities like reentrancy, overflow, and logic errors that traditional audits can miss.
Regulatory & Enterprise Readiness
Formally verified contracts provide auditable proof of compliance with financial regulations and internal security policies. Essential for institutional DeFi, asset tokenization, and enterprise blockchain adoption.
Faster, More Secure Development
Our verification-driven development catches flaws during coding, not in production. This reduces audit cycles by 60-80% and prevents costly post-launch emergency patches and reputation damage.
Superior Capital Efficiency
Protocols with proven security attract more TVL at lower insurance costs. Our verified contracts enable higher leverage limits, better rates, and reduced capital reserves for risk coverage.
Formal Verification vs. Traditional Audits
A technical comparison of two distinct approaches to securing smart contracts, highlighting the mathematical rigor of formal verification versus the expert-driven nature of traditional audits.
| Security Aspect | Traditional Code Audit | Formal Verification (Move Prover/Cairo) |
|---|---|---|
Methodology | Manual review by security experts | Mathematical proof of correctness |
Coverage | Sample-based; depends on auditor skill | Exhaustive; verifies all possible execution paths |
Guarantee | High confidence, but not absolute | Mathematical proof of specified properties |
Primary Output | Vulnerability report with recommendations | Formal proof or counterexample for each property |
Time to Complete | 2-4 weeks for standard scope | 3-6 weeks (includes property specification) |
Cost Range | $15K - $50K+ (scope-dependent) | $30K - $100K+ (complexity-dependent) |
Best For | General code review, catching common bugs, new protocols | Mission-critical logic, financial primitives, protocol upgrades |
Limitations | Cannot prove absence of all bugs | Limited to formally specified properties; requires expert specification |
Ongoing Value | One-time snapshot; degrades with new code | Proofs remain valid unless specifications or code change |
Recommended Use | All production contracts | Core settlement, bridge, or governance contracts |
Our Verification Process
Our formal verification methodology is designed to eliminate critical vulnerabilities before deployment, providing mathematical certainty of your smart contract's security and correctness.
Specification & Modeling
We translate your business logic and security requirements into a formal specification using the Move Prover or Cairo's Sierra IR. This creates a precise, machine-verifiable model of your intended contract behavior.
Property Definition & Invariant Checking
Our experts define critical security properties and system invariants (e.g., "no unauthorized minting", "total supply conservation"). The prover mathematically verifies these hold under all possible execution paths.
Automated Proof Generation
We run the formal verification toolchain to generate mathematical proofs. Any violation of the specification is flagged as a counterexample, pinpointing the exact line and condition that breaks the contract's logic.
Remediation & Iteration
We provide developers with actionable, line-by-line remediation guidance for any counterexamples found. The process iterates until the proof passes completely, guaranteeing the code matches the specification.
Integration & CI/CD
We integrate the verification process into your development pipeline. Every pull request automatically triggers a formal proof run, preventing regressions and ensuring continuous security.

Formal Verification FAQs
Get clear, technical answers to the most common questions about our formal verification services for Move and Cairo smart contracts.
A standard verification project for a core protocol module takes 2-4 weeks from audit-ready code to final report. This includes specification writing, property definition, proof execution, and remediation support. Complex systems with multiple interdependent contracts may extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan within 48 hours of the initial technical review.
