Formal proof in software engineering has been a thing for a very long time, no need for cryptocurrency for that. Control systems for rockets, autonomous subways [1], and many life critical devices are built using such methodologies.
In a startup environment you are first and foremost trying to figure out what your customers want. Formal proof is not going to help solve this problem. I'm sure McLaren is also not spending days trying to understand why a panel is off by a few millimeters when they assemble a prototype.
