Drag the operating point across matrix sizes to see how the Freivalds overhead approaches 0% — and how much of Bitcoin's 150 TWh becomes AI compute under PoUW.
Seven DeFi protocols mapped by upgrade risk tier. Dependency edges reveal inherited risk — even immutable contracts can be exposed through multisig-controlled oracles. Tap a protocol to inspect its timelock window and agent safety note.
How much does it cost to shift a TWAP oracle? Drag pool TVL, TWAP duration, and price spike factor to see the round-trip manipulation cost alongside the 30-min TWAP shift — for both Uniswap v2 arithmetic and v3 geometric accumulators. Anchored to live on-chain pool data.
Epoch ring: 32 slot pillars show the chain's heartbeat. White sphere = chain tip, amber = agent's last read, green = finalized. The arc between them is the state window AI agents must hedge against.
FROST threshold signing in four stages — DKG, Commit, Sign, Aggregate. Adjust t-of-n to see how many parties must collaborate, and how many an attacker must compromise, to produce a valid Schnorr signature.
Sealevel's parallel execution scheduler, slot by slot. Toggle hot-account contention to see how a single popular writable account collapses eight parallel waves into eight serial queues. Each row is one execution wave — transactions in the same row settle simultaneously.
Five on-chain randomness sources plotted on latency vs. manipulation cost. Click any dot to see mechanism, security tier, gas cost, and recommended use case.
Seven ZK proof configurations mapped on prover time vs. on-chain verification gas. Click any system to see proof size, setup requirements, and zkML viability. The annotated wrapper band shows the constant-gas region only reachable by STARK→SNARK wrapping.
Gas cost vs. number of AI inference proofs under three aggregation strategies: naive per-proof (linear), SnarkPack O(log N), and ZK recursion (flat). Drag the slider to find the crossover where each strategy wins.
Pipeline-parallel decentralised post-training, split across four nodes. Click any internal stage to place the compromised node — the task-vector injection indicator and attack metrics update to show 94% ASR collapsing alignment from 80% to 6%.
Compare Chainlink's push oracle price against Pyth's pull price and live spot. Drag the slider to see exactly when the 0.5% deviation threshold triggers an on-chain update.
The six stages of an ERC-4337 UserOperation — from construction by an AI agent to paymaster settlement — with the actor, failure modes, and gas cost at each step.
