Scale or Die: Securing Solana with Formal Verification

​Join us for a hands-on deep dive into securing Solana smart contracts using the Certora Prover, a formal verification tool trusted by top protocols, including Jito, Squads, and Kamino.

​This 3-hour technical workshop will walk you through security challenges in the web3 ecosystem and demonstrate how formal verification can detect and prevent bugs.

​We’ll be joined by Evan from Jito, who will introduce the mechanics of Jito’s (Re)Staking and Vaults, providing the foundation for our live case study. Then, Certora’s research team will showcase how the Prover is applied to analyze and secure these systems.
