Smart contracts handle and transfer assets of considerable value (in the form of crypto-currency like Bitcoin). Hence, it is crucial that their implementation is bug-free. We identify the utility (or expected payoff) of interacting with such smart contracts as the basic and canonical quantitative property for such contracts. We present a framework for such quantitative analysis of smart contracts. Such a formal framework poses new and novel research challenges in programming languages, as it requires modeling of game-theoretic aspects to analyze incentives for deviation from honest behavior and modeling utilities which are not specified as standard temporal properties such as safety and termination. While game-theoretic incentives have been analyzed in the security community, their analysis has been restricted to the very special case of stateless games. However, to analyze smart contracts, stateful analysis is required as it must account for the different program states of the protocol. Our main contributions are as follows: we present (i)~a simplified programming language for smart contracts; (ii)~an automatic translation of the programs to state-based games; (iii)~an abstraction-refinement approach to solve such games; and (iv)~experimental results on real-world-inspired smart contracts.","lang":"eng"}],"alternative_title":["LNCS"],"quality_controlled":"1","project":[{"name":"Efficient Algorithms for Computer Aided Verification","_id":"25892FC0-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","grant_number":"ICT15-003"},{"call_identifier":"FWF","_id":"25832EC2-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Rigorous Systems Engineering","grant_number":"S 11407_N23"},{"call_identifier":"FP7","_id":"2581B60A-B435-11E9-9278-68D0E5697425","name":"Quantitative Graph Games: Theory and Applications","grant_number":"279307"}],"date_published":"2018-04-01T00:00:00Z","ec_funded":1,"status":"public","day":"01","publication_status":"published","oa":1,"oa_version":"Published Version","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"acknowledgement":"The research was partially supported by Vienna Science and Technology Fund (WWTF) Project ICT15-003, Austrian Science Fund (FWF) NFN Grant No S11407-N23 (RiSE/SHiNE), and ERC Starting grant (279307: Graph Games).","intvolume":" 10801","file":[{"file_size":1394993,"checksum":"9c8a8338c571903b599b6ca93abd2cce","access_level":"open_access","content_type":"application/pdf","date_created":"2018-12-17T15:45:49Z","file_id":"5716","file_name":"2018_ESOP_Chatterjee.pdf","relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:46:00Z","creator":"dernst"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","volume":10801,"month":"04","date_updated":"2024-04-25T22:30:32Z","page":"739 - 767","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:45:45Z","department":[{"_id":"KrCh"}],"_id":"311","title":"Quantitative analysis of smart contracts","ddc":["000"],"author":[{"full_name":"Chatterjee, Krishnendu","last_name":"Chatterjee","first_name":"Krishnendu","id":"2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-4561-241X"},{"orcid":"0000-0003-1702-6584","id":"391365CE-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","first_name":"Amir","last_name":"Goharshady","full_name":"Goharshady, Amir"},{"first_name":"Yaron","full_name":"Velner, Yaron","last_name":"Velner"}],"year":"2018","type":"conference"}
