IOHK | KEVM Presentation | Everett Hildenbrandt Formal Modelling Engineer at Runtime Verification

In this video, Everett Hildenbrandt, Formal Modelling Engineer at Runtime Verifications, presents KEVM: A Complete Formal Semantics of the Ethereum Virtual Machine, joint work between the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Runtime Verification, with the support of IOHK. 

The K framework was used to formally model the semantics of the Ethereum Virtual Machine, and the knowledge gained from this process was employed to design IELE, the virtual machine for Cardano that will be released in a test format in a few weeks’ time. This is the first time this technology has been deployed within the blockchain industry. Importantly, K is a means to formally verify the code of smart contracts, so they can be automatically checked for the types of flaws that have led to catastrophic financial loss, and must be avoided at all costs.
