The Stellar Blockchain Development Foundation has announced a comprehensive security test of its upcoming smart contract platform, Soroban. To conduct the security test, Stellar partnered with Certora, a company specializing in tools for analyzing the security of smart contracts.
Soroban, which is currently running on the testnet, will provide developers with a new mechanism for deploying smart contracts, expanding the ecosystem of applications built on the Stellar blockchain. The platform uses WebAssembly (WASM), a binary code format adapted for traditional Web and blockchain integration.
The Stellar Blockchain Development Foundation said it will use Certora's formal verification tools, which go beyond simple one-time code review and provide continuous integration services. When the code changes, it conforms to the specifications. This approach is designed to continually prevent bugs and vulnerabilities in the codebase.
