We Love Formal Methods




Welcome to the Runtime Verification blog. We have been working in the web3 security space since 2018 and we love to share what we have learned. Our blog posts are a great way to learn about our audits and formal verification engagements with web3 protocols for readers that may find the audit reports too long or technical.
Our authors write about progress on our tooling - ERCx, Kontrol and Simbolik, all of which are designed and maintain with the goal of helping developers and users interact with blockchains more securely. Dive in and learn with us, and if you have any questions contact us.
