\section{Conclusion}
Formal verification with Lean~4 transforms security claims from marketing into
mathematics. We have demonstrated how to model BFT consensus, prove safety and liveness,
verify threshold arithmetic, and maintain a corpus of 384 machine-checked theorems with
zero \texttt{sorry}. The techniques are accessible to any engineer willing to invest
a few weeks learning Lean~4. The reward is certainty: not ``we tested it,'' but ``we
proved it.''
All proofs are available at \texttt{luxfi/formal} and compile with \texttt{lake build}
on Lean~4 v4.8.0 or later.
