Formal Verification of OpenZeppelin's ERC20 Token Contract

We present a formal verification of OpenZeppelin's ERC20 token contract.

The OpenZeppelin ERC20 token is a high-profile ERC20 token contract written in Solidity by Zeppelin, a consulting firm for smart contracts that provides security audits.

We found that the OpenZeppelin token deviates from the ERC20-K (and thus ERC20-EVM) specification as follows:

  • Rejecting transfers to address 0: It does not allow transferring to address 0 (for both transfer and transferFrom), throwing an exception immediately. It does not violate the standard, as the standard does not specify any requirement about which addresses can be valid. However, it is not clear how useful it is to reject just one single invalid address at the cost of additional gas for every transfer transaction.

Target Smart Contract

The target contract of our formal verification has the following Solidity source code, taken from the Github repository https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/zeppelin-solidity at commit c5d66183:

We formally verified the full functional correctness of the following ERC20 functions:

Verification Artifacts

Solidity Source Code and Compiled EVM Bytecode

We took the source code, inlined the BasicToken, ERC20, ERC20Basic, and SafeMath contracts, and compiled it to the EVM bytecode using Remix Solidity IDE (version soljson-v0.4.19+commit.c4cbbb05).

The inlined source code of the contract is the following:

The EVM (runtime) bytecode generated by the Remix Solidity compiler is the following:

The Remix IDE-generated Gist link:

The (annotated) EVM assembly disassembled from the bytecode is the following:

Mechanized Specifications and Proofs

Due to its deviation from ERC20-K, we could not verify the OpenZeppelin token against the original ERC20-EVM specification. In order to show that it is "correct" w.r.t. ERC20-K (thus ERC20-EVM) modulo the deviation, we modified the specification to capture the deviation and successfully verified the contract against the modified ERC20-EVM specification. Below are the changes made to the original ERC20-EVM specification:

  • To capture the rejection of transferring to address 0, we added the following additional requires conditions, one for the success cases:

    andBool TO_ID =/=Int 0

    and its complement for the failure cases:

    orBool TO_ID ==Int 0

The full changes made in ERC20-EVM are shown in here. The specifications of other functions except transfer and transferFrom are the same as the original ERC20-EVM.

We took the modified ERC20-EVM specification and instantiated it with the program-specific parameters shown below.

The resulting specification is the following:

The specification is written in eDSL, a domain-specific language for EVM specifications, which must be known in order to thoroughly understand our EVM-level specification. Refer to resources for background on our technology. The above file provides the eDSL specification template parameters. The full K reachability logic specification is automatically derived by instantiating a specification template with these template parameters.

Run the following command in the root directory of this repository to generate the full specification under the directory specs/zeppelin-erc20:

$ make zeppelin-erc20

Run the EVM verifier to prove that the specification is satisfied by (the compiled EVM bytecode of) the target functions. See these instructions for more details of running the verifier.
