Code correctness denotes the property of software operating precisely as intended by its specification, without errors or unintended behavior. In blockchain and digital asset systems, this is paramount for smart contracts and protocol implementations, where even minor flaws can lead to significant financial loss or system instability. Rigorous verification methods are employed to ensure such precision.
Context
