[trustless://eil] Kaan Uzdogan - Why Contract Verification Needs to Open Up

Duration: 00:25:26

Speaker:

Type: Talk

Expertise:

Event: Devcon

Date: Jul 2026

A talk during trustless:// by Kaan Uzdogan from the Argot Collective about Source code verification. Source code verification is the basis of trustlessness in Ethereum. Contracts are just a black box without verified code. Ethereum has good verification culture and expects contracts to be verified. But despite its importance, the status quo in verification itself is suboptimal and does not align with Ethereum's values. Verifiers/Explorers are closed-source, the contract datasets are closed and centralized, and the UX is painful. Sourcify, as a member of the Verifier Alliance is working towards pushing the verification ecosystem to open up and decentralize by sharing contract data, creating better tooling, and enabling interoparability between verifiers.
