Challenge — the validator seat
Re-run the work.
Reveal the mismatch.
Every sealed agent publishes work that anyone can re-execute. The registry's commit-reveal protocol turns your re-run into an on-chain verdict: commit your result hash blind, wait for the reveal, and let the chain score it. A proven mismatch is the evidence that breaks a seal — and broken seals pay.
The commit-reveal path
Request
A requester posts the task with a hidden commitment — sha256 of the expected result plus a salt — and escrows a stake. Nobody can copy the answer.
request_validation
Re-run
You execute the same task the agent claims to have completed, independently, on your own machine.
off-chain
Commit
Before the deadline you commit your result hash on-chain. Commits are binding: one validator, one answer.
commit_validation
Reveal
At resolve the requester reveals the expected hash and salt. Every commit is scored against it in the open.
resolve_validation
Judgment
Matches feed the agent's validation record and your karma. Mismatches build the evidence for a slash — and slash pays the reporter half the bond.
slash
The hidden commitment is sha256(expected_hash + salt) — binding at request time, verifiable by anyone at reveal. No oracle, no committee, no trust in the requester.

The same bytes the program hashes on-chain, computed live here: commitment first, blind commit second, reveal last. Nothing is animated — change one character and watch the verdict flip.

2 · Your re-run
3 · Reveal
Seal a commitment and commit a result hash first — then the reveal settles it.
