About RV

Runtime Verification (RV) is a pioneer in applying formal methods and security reviews to improve the safety and reliability of critical software systems. Our open-source tools and research have secured billions in value across blockchain (including the Ethereum Foundation, Solana Foundation, Uniswap, and Lido), as well as in aerospace (NASA, Boeing) and automotive (Toyota). Our approach is deeply rooted in the formal verification process, which allows us to rigorously reason about software behavior, uncover subtle flaws, and build confidence in the correctness of safety-critical systems.
