Ummmm ok.
TENNs???
@Diogenese ??
If this authors information is correct, I'll take a Siemens relationship and hopefully a contract, though it could be through a partner I guess, any day of the week.
Who knows though.... can't find any substantial confirmation yet.

Smart Contract Formal Verification: Practical Guide
17 Aug 2025 — 9 min read
As blockchain penetrates critical infrastructure sectors, 2025 has witnessed catastrophic smart contract failures causing $1.2B+ in losses - making formal verification transition from academic luxury to operational necessity for any production system handling digital assets or automated decisions.
Core Insights
- Neuromorphic co-processors accelerate verification runtime by 5.7x through parallel proof execution
- Quantum-resistant cryptographic proofs now required for all financial smart contracts
- EU AI Act Article 22 mandates formal verification for autonomous transaction systems
- Generative adversarial networks synthesize edge-case contract scenarios undetectable by traditional testing
- 2025 benchmark: 94% reduction in vulnerabilities when using model checking pre-deployment
Implementation Framework
Modern verification stacks integrate three critical layers: symbolic execution engines for path exploration, temporal logic model checkers for property validation, and equivalence checkers for compiler output consistency. The 2025 reference architecture employs NVIDIA's cuVerify SDK leveraging GPU-accelerated SMT solvers alongside OpenAI's VeriGen for adversarial test generation. Crucially, neuromorphic co-processing units now handle state explosion problems through spiking neural networks that prune irrelevant execution paths in real-time.

Real-World Deployment: Siemens' Industrial Smart Contracts for Energy Grids
Facing critical infrastructure vulnerabilities in their blockchain-based energy trading platform, Siemens implemented a formal verification pipeline after a 2024 exploit drained 12,000 MWh of power credits. Their solution integrated Cadence's Temporal Logic Verifier with custom neuromorphic hardware from BrainChip, reducing state space analysis from 48 hours to 11 minutes. The system now automatically generates mathematical proofs for all contract upgrades before grid deployment.

Energy Grid Smart Contract Verification Metrics
Siemens implemented formal verification for 142 critical contracts:
- Prevented 3 zero-day exploits during deployment
- Reduced audit costs by 67%
- Achieved EU regulatory compliance 4 months ahead of deadline
Implementation Results
- Verification throughput: 12 contracts/hour
- False positive rate: 0.3%
- Critical bug detection: 100% of known vulnerability classes
