What Is “Formal Verification” in Smart Contract Development?

Formal verification is a mathematical technique that proves the correctness of a smart contract's code logic against a formal specification of its intended behavior. Unlike testing, which only checks for errors, formal verification mathematically guarantees that certain properties will always hold true, significantly reducing the risk of subtle bugs.
