The Solidity compiler's move to the Via-IR pipeline introduces Yul as a universal intermediate representation, bridging the gap between Solidity and the EVM bytecode.
The modular nature of the Via-IR pipeline allows independent analysis and verification of transformations, ensuring correctness and gas efficiency.
The formalization of Yul's semantics provides a rigorous definition of behavior, enabling precise reasoning and enhancing contract resilience.
The combination of formal verification with practical testing balances mathematical rigor and real-world challenges, ensuring secure and efficient smart contract development.
