Quotes that support claims

Vitalik also pointed out that the SP1 Hypercube was not formally verified. This means it has not been thoroughly checked with mathematical methods to confirm it is error-free. Without this step, there is a chance of issues like accepting incorrect blocks, which could harm the network.

He also flagged the lack of formal verification, meaning the system has not undergone rigorous mathematical proof to guarantee its correctness.
