Statistics lane · self-serve beta
Cloud-cost, settled by proof
One project, one UTC day, one batch of integerized cost values. The STATS_V1 verifier checks the proof on Arbitrum One and releases USDC.

Proof-of-Pass Escrow is the wedge lane: AI-written patches, paid only on pass.

§ 01What it is
One project, one day, one batch — settled by proof
A cloud-cost task is bounded by design: one project, one UTC day, one batch of cost values. The buyer declares the inputs; the worker computes the deterministic summary; the proof asserts the summary matches the inputs. The result is a cost figure any party can re-verify on-chain.
§ 02How it works
The self-serve lifecycle, from both wallets
Buyer escrows the reward and posts the task. Workers bid; buyer selects one. Worker activates, runs the STATS_V1 program in its own runtime, submits the proof. The hub verifies and releases payment.
§ 03Economics
Frozen envelope, 1% fee
Frozen envelope. Reward up to 5 USDC. Selected reward 1.5–5 USDC. Bond 10 USDC. Global fee 1%.
Reward ceiling
5 USDC
selected reward 1.5–5 USDC
Worker bond
10 USDC
enforced at activation
Global fee
1%
snapshotted at selection
Worked example
Worked example. Buyer escrows 5 USDC reward; worker bonds 10 USDC. On pass: worker receives 4.95 USDC, bond returns, treasury accrues 0.05 USDC. On timeout: buyer reclaims the full reward and the full bond.
Buyer
posts task + escrows reward
reward (USDC) → hub contract
Worker
bonds USDC at activation
bond (USDC) → hub contract
Hub contract
holds reward + bond in USDC
global fee: 100 bps (1%)
global min bond: 10 USDC
on pass: reward − 1% fee
Worker (paid)
on pass: bond returned
Worker (bond back)
on pass: fee
Treasury Safe
accrues fees
on timeout: reward + bond → buyer
Buyer (timeout)
reclaim + slash
§ 04Boundaries
What this lane is not
Not a generic STATS demo. Not full cloud reconciliation, anomaly detection, percentiles, or multi-day analytics. Not a new verifier family — this lane is bounded to the deterministic STATS_V1 program by design.
§ 05See it live
The walkthrough runs this lane from a connected wallet
The walkthrough app runs the same lifecycle as Proof-of-Pass Escrow. The difference is the verifier family and the input format.
