Seeking Insights: GPT-4 for Static Analysis/Formal Verification of Blockchain Smart Contracts

Hello Everyone,

I hope this post finds you well. I am currently working on an intriguing project involving AI, Deep Learning, and blockchain technology, and I am seeking advice from this knowledgeable community.

Specifically, I’m interested in leveraging the potential of OpenAI’s GPT-4 model to perform static analysis or formal verification on blockchain smart contracts. The objective is to employ the advancements in AI to automatically analyze and verify the correctness of smart contracts, consequently enhancing their security and reliability.

While GPT-4, with its improved language understanding and generation capabilities, has proven successful in various applications, I am particularly curious about its feasibility and effectiveness in this less explored area.

Here are a few questions I have:

  1. Has anyone used GPT-4 (or a similar AI model) for static analysis or formal verification on smart contracts? If so, could you share your experiences and findings?
  2. What challenges did you face in applying GPT-4 to this domain?
  3. Can you suggest any resources, studies, or existing tools that might aid in my exploration?
  4. Are there any best practices or key considerations to bear in mind while employing AI for static analysis or formal verification?

Any insights, tips, or pointers in this regard would be immensely appreciated. I believe this conversation could pave the way for novel methods to enhance the security and reliability of blockchain smart contracts, potentially contributing significant value to the broader community.

Thank you in advance for your time and sharing your wisdom. Looking forward to an engaging discussion!

Best Regards,
