The compiler applies customizable sequences of transformations to Yul code. To help ensure the correctness of these transformations and their sequencing, we used the ACL2 theorem prover to develop a formalization of the syntax and semantics of Yul, proofs relating static and dynamic semantics, a formalization of some Yul code transformations, and correctness proofs for these transformations.","short_abstract":"Yul is an intermediate language used in the compilation of the Solidity programming language for Ethereum smart contracts.
