In this paper, we present a formal verification tool for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) bytecode. To precisely reason about all possible behaviors of the EVM bytecode, we adopted KEVM, a complete formal semantics of the EVM, and instantiated the Kframework's reachability logic theorem prover to generate a correctby-construction deductive verifier for the EVM. We further optimized the verifier by introducing EVM-specific abstractions and lemmas to improve its scalability. Our EVM verifier has been used to verify various high-profile smart contracts including the ERC20 token, Ethereum Casper, and DappHub MakerDAO contracts.

We present RV-Match, a tool for checking C programs for undefined behavior and other common programmer mistakes. Our tool is extracted from the most complete formal semantics of the C11 language. Previous versions of this tool were used primarily for testing the correctness of the semantics, but we have improved it into a tool for doing practical analysis of real C programs. It beats many similar tools in its ability to catch a broad range of undesirable behaviors. We demonstrate this with comparisons based on a third-party benchmark.
