Fuzzing Around: Better Smart Contract Testing through the Power of Random Inputs
Fuzzing has been around for a while in traditional full-stack development, but a new class of tools is here that can apply fuzzing to smart contract testing in web3. Some of the fuzzing tools include the open source Echidna and MythX.

Smart Contract Audits with ConsenSys Diligence Fuzzing - Fuzzing as a Service
Fuzzing has been around for a while. Defensics and Burp Suite are some examples in the traditional development world. There are also several web3/blockchain fuzzing tools available, such as Echidna and Foundry. However, Diligence Fuzzing is fuzzing as a service and makes everything a little simpler to implement. Which in the end means better audits and more secure contracts. So let’s look into it in more detail.
- Echidna 2.1.1 released with fixes and reduced memory footprint!

Mythril an easy way to audit your smart contracts.
Mythril is part of the core tools of Consensys Mythx one of the biggest Smart Contract security services for Ethereum, which main goal is to ensure development teams avoid costly errors and make Ethereum more secure and trustworthy… or at least that is what their page says.

How do you guarantee the security of your smart contracts?
Other than audits and testing, there's automated security checking: https://github.com/ConsenSys/mythril I'm yet to try this in one of my projects

Static analysis of smartcontracts?
There are some paid tools and some free ones. A few that come to mind are ConsenSys MythX (based in part on the open-source Mythril), ShiftLeft, Oyente, Octopus… maybe best to just check out ETHSecurity’s list.

Formal Verification Methods in industry
When you say "formal verification methods", what kind of techniques are you interested in? While using interactive theorem provers will most likely not become very widespread, there are plenty of tools that use formal techniques to give more correctness guarantees. These tools might give some guarantees, but do not guarantee complete functional correctness. WireGuard (VPN tunnel) is I think a very interesting application where they verified the protocol. There are also some tools in use, e.g. Mythril and CrossHair, that focus on detecting bugs using symbolic execution. There's also INFER from Facebook/Meta which tries to verify memory safety automatically. The following GitHub repo might also interest you, it lists some companies that use formal methods: practical-fm
