Verifier Alliance Launches for Open Data Access to EVM Codes After Year of Work

The Verifier Alliance (VERA), an ecosystem collective, has been introduced after almost a year of hard work to facilitate easy, unified, and open access to the source code of EVM smart contracts. VERA aims to standardize the verification process in the EVM space by providing a publicly accessible database of contracts' source code, emphasizing that 'Smart Contracts are for Everyone' and 'Verified Data is for Everyone'. This initiative is supported by various entities, including developers and organizations committed to open data and the establishment of a publicly accessible shared database for verified smart contract source codes across all integrated EVM chains. The transparency provided by verifying source code, which has been difficult to access until now, is seen as crucial for the success of the EVM and the growing ecosystem that supports billions of dollars in custodied assets. The development of 'codeslaw' by supporters aims to assist in searching deployed contracts, highlighting the importance of transparency of contract logic.
