Nov 7, 2026 Veil 2.0 is out! It is the most feature-complete library for multi-modal foundational verification of distributed protocols in Lean. The new release features:
  • Lace, a verified, blazing-fast explicit-state model checker for safety (2–20x faster than TLA+/TLC on equivalent models)
  • Lasso, a fast verified model checker for LTL-style liveness specifications (which also beats TLC)
  • A dedicated interactive proof mode for LTL specifications
  • An LLM skill for translating TLA+ specifications to Veil, together with nearly 40 models ported from TLA+ (including Paxos, EPaxos, NOPaxos, and Raft)
  • A PlusCal-style DSL for customisable, program-style definitions of your distributed protocols

Oct 18, 2026 New post on Proofs and Intuitions: The Vermilion Experiment: Implementing a Lean Backend for Verus.
Sep 28, 2026 A two-weekend fun project: Vermilion, an experimental Lean 4 backend for the Verus verifier for Rust. Verification conditions are readable Lean theorems, provable with an SMT solver, Lean’s grind, Mathlib lemmas, by hand, or by your favourite AI system.
