Verus is a verification tool for statically proving the correctness of Rust code against developer-written specifications, using SMT solvers instead of runtime checks. It supports a subset of Rust, including low-level patterns like raw pointer manipulation, and is under active development.

Use cases

• formally verify rust code correctness
• prove low-level systems code has no bugs
• statically verify unsafe rust pointer manipulation
• write machine-checked specifications for rust functions
• verify concurrent or systems software in rust

When to choose

• you need mathematical guarantees that Rust code meets its specifications
• you are writing safety- or security-critical low-level systems code
• you want to verify code beyond what the Rust type system can check

When to avoid

• you need full Rust support - Verus only covers a subset of the language
• you want a quick linting or testing tool rather than heavyweight formal verification
• you need polished, complete documentation - it is still a work in progress
