Verification Evidence

Every claim below traces to a locked, hashed artifact in our verification repository. Internal verification follows Rigorous Digital Engineering methodology.

Consensus TLA+
EV-008 โ€” BFT safety proof with phase separation. 152M states explored, 0 invariant violations.
Token Lifecycle TLA+
EV-009 โ€” 7 invariants model-checked across 269 states. AtMostOneTokenPerPurchase, NullifierUniqueness, and 5 more โ€” 0 violations.
Mechanism Validation
MC-500 โ€” 500 Monte Carlo simulations. 100% honesty dominance. Minimum safety margin: 652ร—. Analytic dominance proof: ฮฑยทCโ‚€ยทN^ฮณ > k.
Threat Model
EV-010 โ€” 14 attack scenarios across 6 adversary classes. 6 formal security properties with threat-to-artifact traceability.
ZK Circuit Audit
EV-011 โ€” Line-by-line constraint audit of token circuit. 8 findings identified, 5 patched. 8/8 negative test vectors rejected at witness generation.

Development Roadmap

โœ“ Phase 1: Cryptographic Foundation
Zero-knowledge proof system implemented and tested
โœ“ Phase 2: Consensus Protocol
PBFT consensus with Byzantine fault tolerance
โœ“ Phase 3: Internal Verification
5-pillar verification bundle complete โ€” TLA+ models, Monte Carlo, threat model, ZK circuit audit. All locked with execution evidence.
โ†’ Phase 4: External Audit & Network Expansion
Independent protocol attestation (Trail of Bits / Veridise). Scale validator network and optimize performance.
Phase 5: Production Deployment
Enterprise pilots and compliance certification

Technical Collaboration

Phase 1 internal verification is complete. We are engaging external auditors for independent protocol attestation and welcome academic collaboration on advanced formal properties.
