A formal verifier and analysis tool for Solidity Smart Contracts

VeriSol

VeriSol (Verifier for Solidity) is a Microsoft Research project for prototyping a formal verification and analysis system for smart contracts developed in the popular Solidity programming language. It is based on translating programs in Solidity language to programs in Boogie intermediate verification language, and then leveraging and extending the verification toolchain for Boogie programs. The following blog provides a high-level overview of the initial goals or VeriSol.

The following paper describes the design of VeriSol and application of smart contract verification for Azure Blockchain:

INSTALL

Instructions for installing and running VeriSol can be found here.

VeriSol Code Contracts library

The code contract library VeriSolContracts.sol is present here. This allows adding specifications in the form of pre/post conditions, loop invariants, contract invariants, modifies clauses, and extending the assertion language with constructs such as old, sum, etc.
