Meritz Securities, part of one of Korea’s largest financial groups, is exploring tokenization on Optimism.
We’re collaborating to explore the issuance and distribution of tokenized Korean securities on the OP Stack.
Korean capital markets are coming onchain .
How do you turn a one-off formal verification effort into something that keeps paying off?
For @Optimism, one hand-written Dafny model we wrote became three things:
- a proof of what "correct" means for cross-chain message validation
- ground truth for AI agents checking the Go code, function by function
- a fuzzer where every failure is a violation of a proven property
Along the way it caught a cold-start rewind bug that could silently erase backfilled blocks, which Optimism has since remediated.
The technical breakdown, from Dafny invariants to the fuzzing harness, below 👇
