share
Blockchains host smart contracts for crowdfunding, tokens, and many other purposes. Vulnerabilities in contracts are often discovered, leading to the loss of large quantities of money.

We present an overview of Psamathe, including a partial formalization. We also discuss several example contracts in Psamathe, and compare the Psamathe examples to the same contracts written in Solidity.
