Formal verification can sound intimidating or difficult.
But you don't need a PhD in math to get the benefits.
In this short post, we break 3 myths of formal verification, and how we make it easy using the Certora Verification Language.

Curious how to maximize trust in your protocol? Our article explains why audit + formal verification together is the smartest approach tinyurl.com/55rrp3cr
We’re big believers in combining audit + formal verification for Web3 projects. Audits catch real issues fast, formal verification gives mathematical guarantees.
Do you do both? 🤔
The 80/20 of smart contract vulnerabilities:
20% of bug types cause 80% of exploits:
• Re-entrancy variants (not just the obvious ones).
• Access control assumptions.
• Oracle price manipulation.
• Integer overflow in edge cases.
• State inconsistencies during external…
Think formal verification is only for academics?
In reality, it’s a practical security tool every DeFi team can use.
Here’s how it works -- step by step.

Formal verification ≠ audit. It’s math that proves your smart contract works exactly as intended -- under all scenarios that tests or manual reviews might miss.

Formal verification proves a contract actually follows strict rules, not just that it “looks safe.” It catches issues that tests or fuzzing can miss. ✅
💡 At Null Return, we did a study and found that many devs, even CTOs, confuse audits and formal verification. Think your contract is safe because it passed an audit? Think again.
Formal verification proves a contract meets clear rules. Not vague ‘security’. EVM always halts. Partial proofs > unit tests or fuzzing for confidence.
