If you're into blockchain technology, especially the nitty-gritty of smart contract security, you’re in for a treat! On August 6th, 2025, blockchain enthusiast and expert publicqi from Solayer Labs will host a guest lecture titled "Symbolic Execution for Software Security – A Practical Guide." This event, organized by Rektoff in collaboration with Fuzzland, is open to everyone and kicks off at 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM CEST. Let’s break down what this is all about and why it’s worth your time!

What’s Symbolic Execution, Anyway?

For those new to the term, symbolic execution is like a detective tool for software. Instead of running a program with real data, it uses symbols (think of them as placeholders) to figure out all the possible paths a program could take. This is super useful in blockchain, where smart contracts need to be bulletproof against hacks. The lecture will dive into how this technique works on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and how it can be adapted for the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM).

Publicqi is excited to share their hands-on experience, particularly focusing on bringing EVM techniques into the SVM space. If you’ve heard of MEV (Miner Extractable Value) bots—those clever programs that snag profits from blockchain transactions—this lecture could be a game-changer. Publicqi hints at encouraging more Solana MEV bots to use advanced program analysis, which could lead to smarter and safer trading strategies.

Why This Matters for Solana and Beyond

Solana’s SVM stands out because it handles transactions in parallel, unlike the sequential processing of EVM. This speed is a big deal, but it also means security techniques need tweaking. By exploring symbolic execution, developers can catch vulnerabilities before they become problems. Publicqi’s insights could help bridge the gap between EVM’s established methods and SVM’s unique needs, especially for those building MEV bots on Solana.

The lecture is part of a series by Rektoff, and with it being the 12th session, you know they’re serious about delivering value. Plus, it’s free and open to all, so whether you’re a developer, a crypto trader, or just curious, you can join in. Check out the details and RSVP via the event link shared by Rektoff.

What to Expect

Expect a deep dive into practical applications, not just theory. Publicqi will likely walk through real-world examples of symbolic execution, showing how it spots issues in smart contracts. For Solana fans, the focus on MEV bots is a highlight—imagine bots that not only arbitrage between exchanges but do so with top-notch security. The session runs for 90 minutes, giving plenty of time for explanations and maybe even a Q&A.

Get Involved

Mark your calendar for August 6th at 6:00 PM CEST (that’s 1:00 AM on August 7th if you’re in +07 like me, writing this at 12:36 AM on August 5th!). Head over to the event page to join.
