Overview

The program as near-antibody stores it. Its manifest hash commits the anchor, the targets, the rules and the terms; once it is open, the deployment's owner can change nothing it depends on.

Try it

A tutorial: its bug and its proof are public. Anyone can run the whole loop on testnet in a few minutes, with no account and no key; nothing here is a real vulnerability.

One rule, one textbook bug

Each of 24 small vaults holds a little ether, and its sweep(to) has no access check: anyone can send a vault's ether anywhere. The proof is one call to your vault; at the anchor the vault loses its ether, so vault_keeps_its_ether breaks. Each vault is its own target, so each try is its own finding.

antibody try --name <you>

The browser try and the CLI use the practice vending contract's program, program 14.

What a try does

  1. Vends you a practice account for a key your browser (or the CLI) generates; the key cannot withdraw or transfer.
  2. Builds the tutorial proof against the vault assigned to you, seals it to the program's key, commits and reveals it.
  3. Waits for the verdict and its attestation on NEAR.
  4. Allocates and pays (both permissionless), then closes the practice account: its NEAR goes back to the vending contract.

The payout goes to the vending contract's credit, which pays the next try's bond and run.

The rules as code

Each rule is one bit of the program's invariants contract. After a proof's calls, at the anchor, the verifier runs its check(): a set bit is a broken rule, paid by its severity. The verifier never reads a report.
The program's rules
RuleSeverityPayoutBudget per roundSource
vault_keeps_its_etherbit 0

No practice vault loses its ether.

Low
0.001 wNEAR
0.03 wNEAR

The budget caps what one rule pays per round, so many entry points into one root cause cannot drain the escrow. A finding's key is the rule and the entry point that broke it (by default, the target and function): the first proof of each key is paid.

The targets (25) on Sepolia

The terms

Committed in the manifest with the rules, their text fixed by the terms sha256, and enforced by near-antibody: no person decides a payout.

The escrow against the largest payout

26×the largest payout
0.026 available / 0.001 wNEAR largest

The available escrow over the largest payout. Below 1× the status page raises an alert; a payout the escrow cannot cover is queued as debt, in commit order.

Pauses
No rule pauses anything.
Known issues
None allowed.
Gap lane
Off.
Unevaluable
A proof the rules cannot evaluate (check() reverts or runs out of gas) is refunded.

The windows

The program's windows
WindowLengthWhat it bounds
Reveal
10 min
A commit is revealed within this, or it expires and its bond goes to the escrow.
Challenge window
60 s
A verdict that is not paid instantly is final after this; anyone may challenge it within it, with the challenge bond.
Resolve
5 min
A challenge with no attested result within this voids the verdict; both bonds are refunded.
Run timeout
4 min
A run that never answered is void after this.
Infrastructure grace
10 min
An infrastructure failure is retried this long, then the commit closes with a refund.
Round minimum
2 min
A round runs at least this long before the next one opens.
Re-run window
10 min
Re-runs at a proposed fix may be asked for within this of its confirmed check.
Disclosure delay
10 min
A paid proof becomes public at most this long after its claim.
Exit grace
60 s
After the deadline plus this, anyone may settle the program (exit).
Deadline
No commit is accepted after it.

The anchor

Every proof runs on the state proven at one block. A pause ticket, and the verdict guard, act only on an anchor the light client confirmed: on a project-attested anchor a verdict is about state the project chose.

Check the hash yourself

view client-eth2.sepolia.testnet.block_hash_safe(12096733 as 8 little-endian bytes: 0xdd94b80000000000)

Expected: byte 0 is 1 (the client holds the block), then 32 bytes equal to the anchor hash.

The same check from a terminal, and the one that also hashes the block header from a Sepolia RPC:

antibody judge --program 16
antibody anchor-check --block 12096733

Known issues

Declared sealed before open; a later proof with the same tag is not paid again. Their count, rules and severities are public; their content stays sealed for good.
0 sealed
No known issue declared: every key this program prices was open to the first proof.

The chains

Per chain: the program's adapter, the proxies it may pause or upgrade, and every permit near-guardian asked the MPC network to sign, with the transaction that carried it there.

A key is a rule and the entry point that broke it: the first proof of each key is paid; a later one is a duplicate that keeps its own proof record. Each commit's page shows its proof card and how to check it.

Rounds and the release gate

A round ships a fix as code overrides at the same anchor. The enclave checks it, every paid proof is re-run against it, and a release permit is signed only for code that every paid proof fails against.
No round yet: this program still runs its round-0 code. A round is how a fix ships, and only a fix every paid proof fails against is released.

The ledger

Every movement of the escrow keeps funded equal to available + reserved + paid + fees + returned. Amounts in wNEAR, which has no value on testnet.
