Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, published a blog post on May 18 explaining how artificial intelligence combined with formal verification could improve software security, particularly for the Ethereum ecosystem. He mentioned that 90% of his net worth is held in ETH. He cited the Lean theorem prover as a key tool and two concrete projects: Arklib, a formally verified STARKs implementation, and evm-asm, an EVM abstraction. Formal verification uses mathematical proofs to demonstrate that code behaves correctly in all possible scenarios, unlike traditional testing. Two limitations were identified: specification risk and the inability to verify physical hardware.
