BOK

Formal verification for Solana programs is performed by deriving invariants and generating Kani harnesses, LiteSVM tests, and Proptest suites. This pipeline maps program math to invariants through a five-phase process and outputs a final verification report.

Generating invariants for Anchor programs is best handled by a structured pipeline that scans code, analyzes logic, confirms properties, generates verification artifacts, and executes them. This produces Kani harnesses, LiteSVM tests, and Proptest suites in a .bok workspace.

Kani and Proptest can be used together for Solana verification through a unified pipeline that generates both Kani harnesses and Proptest suites alongside LiteSVM tests. All artifacts are managed within a hidden .bok workspace at the project root.

Formal verification remains functional when Kani is unavailable through degraded-mode handling. The pipeline continues invariant discovery and artifact generation for LiteSVM tests and Proptest suites, ensuring partial verification coverage without the Kani harness component.

Verification artifacts for Solana programs are managed within a project-wide hidden workspace called .bok at the project root. This workspace tracks artifact progression states across the five-phase pipeline and provides guidance for merging generated tests back to your branch.

LiteSVM tests verify Solana program behavior by executing generated test suites derived from formal invariants. Combined with Kani harnesses and Proptest suites, they provide multi-tool verification coverage as part of an end-to-end pipeline that produces a final verification report.
