We've officially entered the age of formally verified code. Smart contracts and blockchain infrastructure can no longer afford the luxury of unverified systems—the stakes are simply too high. As more protocols prioritize mathematical certainty over assumptions, formal verification becomes less of a luxury and more of the baseline standard for security-conscious development. This shift marks a turning point in how the industry builds trustless systems.

Speaking of formal verification, it really should be popularized now. Otherwise, how many more contracts need to be compromised before it happens?

Forget it, it's the same old rhetoric. The real question is how many projects are actually using formal verification—it's still just armchair analysis.

To be honest, formal verification sounds impressive, but in reality, only a few projects can do it well... Most are just riding the trend.

It should have been like this earlier. Those hastily launched contracts couldn't hold up, and now the competition has heated up.

Formal verification should indeed become standard practice, but to be honest, will those project teams really use it seriously...

Oh no, it should have been like this a long time ago. I've been shouting about this for ten years, but no one listened😤

It should have been like this a long time ago, but it seems most projects are still just going through the motions... There are not many who actually do formal verification.

Someone finally said it. It should have been like this a long time ago. If you keep creating contracts that can't be formally verified, it's just embarrassing to even put them out.
