Blocksense: A Litepaper for the Universal Verification Layer

By Zahary Karadjov and Magnus Ahmad

August 2025

Abstract

The evolution of decentralized technology has been constrained by two fundamental limitations: a Connectivity Barrier, which has hindered the full integration of blockchains with the internet and the real world, and a Throughput Barrier, leaving the technology without the necessary capacity to realistically power the world's economy. This has confined decentralized applications to a narrow domain of objectively verifiable logic, limiting their potential to reshape our digital world.

Blocksense introduces a novel, service-oriented blockchain architecture designed to systematically dismantle these barriers. We present a universal verification layer capable of securely processing both objective and intersubjective truths at a scale previously thought unattainable. Our solution is built upon two core innovations:

1. The Intersubjective Truth Machine: We solve the oracle problem with zkSchellingCoin, a bribery-resistant consensus mechanism that uses zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to ensure voter secrecy. For high-stakes disputes, we employ Futarchy as an ultimate arbiter, creating on-demand prediction markets that secure the network with the collective liquid capital of the entire global market, making malicious attacks economically irrational.
2. The Boundless Throughput Engine: We implement a Decoupled State Machine Replication (DSMR) architecture that radically parallelizes the blockchain. Transaction ordering is scaled horizontally via multiple sharded DAG-BFT consensus instances, while execution is parallelized through an incrementally verifiable computation (IVC) framework. This design allows network throughput to increase linearly with the number of participating nodes.

These core innovations enable a new economic paradigm of computational abundance. The Blocksense network operates as a unified marketplace for verified computation, creating a powerful economic flywheel that attracts vast resources and drives down costs. This efficiency allows us to deliver a frictionless user experience, featuring passkey-native accounts and zero-cost transactions, while unlocking a new design space for applications like private and verifiable AI agents. By solving the foundational problems of connectivity and scale, Blocksense is poised to become the essential middleware for the next generation of the decentralized web.

1. Introduction: Breaking the Barriers of Blockchain

For over a decade, blockchain technology has promised to build a more open, transparent, and user-centric digital future. Yet, despite immense innovation, its transformative potential remains gated by fundamental architectural constraints. Blockchains operate as "digital islands"—secure and self-consistent, but profoundly isolated from the world they aim to revolutionize. This isolation manifests as two primary barriers that have dictated the trajectory of the entire space.

The first is the Connectivity Barrier. Blockchains are fundamentally disconnected from external systems; they lack a native, secure mechanism to ingest and agree upon the complex, non-deterministic, and subjective information that underpins the global economy. The industry’s answer, the oracle, has largely remained centralized, failing the core vision of decentralization and creating an imbalance of power that leads to inefficiencies and gatekeeper dynamics.

The second is the Throughput Barrier. The canonical blockchain design, where every full node must process every single transaction, ensures security at the cost of scalability. This "all-nodes-must-verify" paradigm creates a computational bottleneck that limits transaction speed, drives up costs, and ultimately hinders mainstream adoption. Existing scaling solutions, while innovative, have often introduced significant complexity and ecosystem fragmentation, further hindering the user experience without solving the core architectural limitation.

Blocksense is a direct response to these challenges. It is not merely another Layer-1 blockchain or an incremental improvement on existing oracle designs. We introduce a new paradigm: a service-oriented blockchain architected from the ground up to serve as a universal verification layer for both Web3 and Web2. Our mission is to provide the foundational infrastructure for a new class of "Verified Autonomous Services" that can securely reason about any form of information and execute at boundless scale.

By solving the dual problems of connectivity and throughput, Blocksense paves the way for applications previously confined to the realm of science fiction: decentralized AI agents managing real-world assets, complex financial instruments powered by live internet data, and global compute marketplaces operating with unprecedented efficiency. This paper details the core technological innovations, economic models, and go-to-market strategy that will enable Blocksense to fulfill this vision.

2. Core Innovation I: The Intersubjective Truth Machine

To break the Connectivity Barrier, a protocol must be able to securely establish consensus on intersubjective truths—information, like the price of an asset or the outcome of an event, where a majority of participants are likely to share the same view, but which cannot be verified by deterministic computation alone. The foundational approach for this is the SchellingCoin game, as first proposed by Vitalik Buterin[^1]. It posits that a network of rational, uncoordinated actors will converge on a truthful answer because it is their most profitable individual strategy. While elegant, the emergence of powerful smart contract platforms has revealed a critical vulnerability in naive implementations of this idea.

2.1 The SchellingCoin Achilles' Heel: Trustless Bribery

In any system where a single oracle update can influence the fate of billions of dollars, the incentive to corrupt the outcome is immense. The combination of public ledgers and Turing-complete smart contracts creates a fatal attack vector: the trustless bribe. An attacker can deploy an escrow-like smart contract that programmatically and anonymously executes a sophisticated bribery campaign with no risk to themselves or the participants.

This attack works against any voting protocol where participants can prove their right to vote and how they voted. It unfolds as follows:

1. Bounty Placement: An attacker locks a large bounty in a smart contract, promising a reward to any validator who votes for a malicious outcome.
2. Trustless Coordination: Validators can independently inspect the contract's code and verify that the reward is guaranteed upon compliance. Using ZKPs, they can even signal their willingness to participate without revealing their identity.
3. Malicious Vote & Payout: Once a critical mass of participants is reached, they all cast the malicious vote. The smart contract allows them to prove their participation—again, sophisticated use of ZKPs enables them to claim their reward to a fresh, anonymous address—without creating a direct, attributable link to the attack.
4. No-Risk Execution: If the attack fails to attract enough participants, the smart contract simply returns the bounty to the attacker.

The devastating power of this attack is its trustless nature; the cold logic of the code is the only escrow required. A more elaborate contract can even eliminate the requirement for an upfront bounty, replacing it with a payout token that represents a share of the generated future profits.

2.2 Defense-in-Depth: A Multi-Layered Security Model

Blocksense employs a multi-layered, defense-in-depth strategy to secure intersubjective consensus, making attacks progressively more difficult and economically irrational at every stage.

Layer 1: Secret Sub-Committees & zkSchellingCoin

Our first line of defense is zkSchellingCoin, an enhanced implementation of the SchellingCoin principle. For any given data request, the protocol elects a small, random, and secret sub-committee of stakers to vote. By drawing on research from coercion-resistant e-voting protocols like MACI (Minimal Anti-Collusion Infrastructure), we use zero-knowledge proofs to make it cryptographically impossible for a voter to produce the proof an attacker's contract would require. The system makes it impossible for a voter to prove both their right to vote on a particular topic and the content of their vote. Without this complete proof, the trustless bribe collapses.

Layer 2: Distributed Coordination & Reputation

While MACI prevents voters from proving how they voted, its standard design has a single point of failure: the Coordinator, who processes the encrypted votes. A malicious Coordinator cannot forge the final tally, but they can break vote secrecy by colluding with attackers.

Blocksense eliminates this vulnerability by distributing the Coordinator role using MPC-powered co-SNARKs. The vote tallying is performed by a set of operators who disclose their identity and get selected via a dynamic reputation market. The ultimate users of the data—the protocols and dApps with high TVS—are awarded endorsement credits, which they use to indicate preferred coordinators. Coordinators who fail to flag malicious updates face slashing which creates a powerful second layer of defense: an attacker must now not only subvert the staking system but also the reputation system, which is controlled by the very entities they wish to harm. This model significantly lowers the raw capital requirements for security, drawing strength from the established trust networks of the ecosystem, much like today's dominant centralized oracles that operate purely on reputation.

Layer 3: Open Challenges & Dispute Escalation

Once a sub-committee and its coordinators produce a result, it is not immediately finalized. Every data update enters a configurable dispute period. This period is designed to be minimal, as watchdog nodes can run automated software that continuously monitors all proposed updates and can raise a dispute within milliseconds of detecting a malicious or incorrect result. Importantly, an ongoing dispute for a specific data point does not affect the liveness of the service; a new committee is immediately elected to provide a subsequent update, ensuring the protocol remains operational. During the dispute period, anyone can challenge the original outcome by posting a dispute bond. This action immediately escalates the stakes: the dispute is no longer between the small committee and a single challenger, but requires all stakers in the protocol to take a side. The backers of the losing side face slashing, ensuring that challenges are taken seriously and raising the economic cost of pushing a malicious update through the system.

Layer 4: Futarchy, the Ultimate Arbiter

If a dispute escalates to a full network vote, a sufficiently capitalized attacker could still theoretically win through a 51% stake attack. To counter this existential threat, Blocksense integrates its final and most powerful layer of defense: Futarchy.

Futarchy is a governance mechanism summarized by the maxim: "vote on values, but bet on beliefs." Instead of voting directly on an action, the community first agrees on a metric reflecting success (a value). Then, prediction markets are used to determine which action is most likely to positively impact that metric (a belief). The action whose market predicts the best outcome is automatically chosen.

In Blocksense, this is adapted into an on-demand security system.

1. Prediction Markets Launch: The protocol automatically creates two prediction markets with highly specific questions:

• Market M: Will the price of the Blocksense token fall by more than 50% in the next two weeks if the malicious Claim M is published?
• Market T: Will the price of the Blocksense token fall by more than 50% in the next two weeks if the truthful Claim T is published?

2. Market Resolution Mechanics: For a predetermined time, both markets are open for trading. After the trading period ends, the protocol automatically selects the claim (M or T) whose market predicts the lowest probability of a price crash. This decision triggers an asymmetric resolution: the chosen market (e.g., Market T) stays in effect and settles normally after the observation period, while the unchosen market (Market M) is voided, and all capital is returned to the bettors.
3. The Inevitable Market Consensus: A successful, value-extracting attack has a clear consequence: all honest stakers will be slashed, leaving the protocol in the hands of the attacker and destroying confidence in the Blocksense protocol as a truthful source of information. The token price would inevitably trend towards zero. Therefore, rational market participants worldwide will rush to bet "Yes" on Market M, as this outcome is highly probable. Conversely, there is no reason to expect a price crash if the truthful Claim T is published.
4. Unwinnable Economic Warfare: To win, the attacker must manipulate the prediction markets by betting against this obvious reality. In essence, they must financially overpower every rational actor in the world who is drawn to a profitable, low-risk bet. The cost of such an attack is not measured against the total value staked in Blocksense, but against all the liquid capital available to participate in the prediction market. By turning a security crisis into a global trading opportunity, Futarchy serves as the ultimate crypto-economic backstop, making any rational 51% attack prohibitively expensive.

3. Core Innovation II: The Boundless Throughput Engine

The monolithic architecture of traditional blockchains is the root cause of the Throughput Barrier. Blocksense demolishes this barrier with a radically parallel design that separates network functions and scales them independently, leading to theoretically boundless throughput.

3.1 The Decoupled Architecture: Separating Ordering from Execution

Blocksense is built on a Decoupled State Machine Replication (DSMR) model. In this paradigm, the network's responsibilities are split into two distinct, asynchronous layers:

1. The Ordering Layer (Mempool): This layer's sole responsibility is to receive transactions from users and establish a definitive, global order for them.
2. The Execution Layer: This layer consumes the finalized sequence of transactions and processes the state transitions.

This separation allows each layer to be optimized and scaled independently using specialized techniques.

3.2 Scalable Ordering: The Parallel DAG Mempool

To achieve limitless ordering capacity, Blocksense implements a novel parallel mempool composed of multiple, independent Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) based BFT consensus instances. We leverage cutting-edge protocols like Sui's Mysticeti and Aptos's Raptr, which have demonstrated sub-second finality and throughput exceeding 100,000 TPS in test conditions with validator sets of ~100 nodes.

The mechanism is simple yet powerful:

• Transaction Sharding: Transactions are deterministically assigned to one of the parallel DAG instances by hash, distributing the ordering load evenly.
• Independent Finalization: Each DAG instance finalizes its own local sequence of transactions with high speed.
• Round-Robin Consumption: The Execution Layer consumes the finalized transaction lists from each DAG in a fair, round-robin sequence, weaving them together into a single, globally ordered stream.

This architecture allows us to increase the network's transaction ordering capacity simply by adding more parallel DAG instances, enabling horizontal scaling of the mempool to meet any demand.

3.3 Scalable Execution: The Simulation-First Parallel Pipeline

Achieving parallel execution is notoriously difficult due to potential data dependencies between transactions. Blocksense solves this with a multi-stage, simulation-first pipeline that separates the cheap work of determining execution outcomes from the expensive work of proving them.

1. Simulation: Once a batch of transactions is finalized by the Ordering Layer, it is first picked up by a class of nodes we call Simulators. Inspired by the Calvin protocol and Speculative Multi-threaded (SMT) execution, Simulators attempt to execute all transactions in a batch in parallel.

• Conflict Resolution: If transactions have data conflicts (e.g., two transactions trying to modify the same state), the conflicting transaction is postponed to the next batch. A special "skip" proof is generated to demonstrate the conflict, and the reward for executing the postponed transaction is increased to ensure it is eventually processed. With sub-second batches, this process introduces negligible latency.
• Economic Security: Simulators are not critical for protocol safety, as a faulty simulation cannot directly harm users. However, to build confidence, Simulators must sign their results. If a Simulator signs an invalid result, they can be slashed. This provides a strong economic incentive for correctness, allowing the next stage of the pipeline to proceed.

2. Parallel Proving: The signed results from the Simulators—the pre- and post-conditions for every computational step—are broadcast to the network of Provers. With the execution path now determined, the computationally intensive task of generating ZK proofs can be massively parallelized. The Blocksense execution layer is designed to prove three distinct types of objectively verifiable computation in parallel:

• Deterministic State Transitions: Standard smart contract logic executed within a VM.
• Intersubjective Consensus: The results of zkSchellingCoin votes.
• Verifiable Confidential Computing: Cryptographic attestations from Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), orchestrated by our specialized BlocksenseOS[^2]. This allows the network to prove that specific, audited code was executed on confidential data (e.g., using secret API keys) without revealing the data or credentials on-chain.

3. Unified Proof Aggregation: Using a ZK proving system that employs folding (e.g., UltraHONK), the individual "leaf" proofs for every computation in a block—state transitions, oracle votes, and TEE attestations—are efficiently combined into a single, succinct proof. This final proof attests to the validity of the entire block's state transition, without requiring any single node to have executed or proven all of it.

This unified ZK proof is a powerful primitive. It allows Blocksense to be natively ZK-bridged to any other chain, functioning as a ZK rollup or validium. It also enables light clients to sync with the chain instantly and securely by downloading and verifying just a single proof.

This entire architecture—from parallel ordering to parallel simulation and proving—requires immense computational capacity. The design is predicated on the ability to attract a vast network of hardware operators. The following section details the economic model designed to do precisely that.

[^2]: BlocksenseOS is a minimal, security-hardened Linux distribution designed to run within Trusted Execution Environments, providing the necessary abstractions for verifiable computation. For a detailed technical overview, see the design document at: https://github.com/blocksense-network/BlocksenseOS/blob/main/docs/BlocksenseOS-Design.md

4. The Blocksense Economy: A Self-Reinforcing Flywheel

Breakthrough technology alone is insufficient. A successful protocol requires a robust, self-reinforcing economic model that aligns incentives between all participants. The Blocksense economy is designed around a principle of computational abundance. Unlike traditional blockchains that treat transaction throughput as a scarce resource auctioned off via priority fees, Blocksense's boundless architecture treats it as a commodity. This fundamental shift allows us to eliminate transaction priority fees. Instead of users bidding against each other for inclusion, node operators compete to provide computation at the lowest possible price, driving costs down to their material limit—a figure we expect to trend towards zero over time as hardware efficiency continues to improve.

4.1 Tokenomics and Utility

The native Blocksense token is the lifeblood of the network, serving three primary functions:

1. Staking and Security: Node operators must stake Blocksense tokens to participate in the network's consensus and execution processes. This stake acts as a security deposit, which can be slashed for malicious behavior, thereby securing the network.
2. Payment for Services: The Blocksense token is the exclusive unit of account for all network services. This includes fees for code execution, internet bandwidth for data services, and persistent storage rent. The only scarce resource where priority bidding is utilized is for block space on target chains, ensuring efficient cross-chain data delivery.
3. Governance: Token holders will have the right to participate in the governance of the protocol, voting on key parameter changes and system upgrades.

4.2 A Unified, Capability-Based Marketplace for Web2 & Web3

The Blocksense network is more than a blockchain; it is a global marketplace for verified computation designed to compete with and subsume specialized compute networks across every vertical. We achieve this through a flexible, capability-based approach.

Within Blocksense, services can require specialized hardware (e.g., high-end GPUs for rendering or AI inference), access to proprietary data feeds (e.g., real-time sports results), or other unique capabilities. Our protocol provides a portal where operators can see the real-time profitability of acquiring these capabilities. The service bidding process allows operators to price their services based on the specific capabilities they offer, creating dynamic, market-driven pricing for every type of computation. This naturally segments the market, allowing Blocksense to effectively compete with specialized networks for ZK proving, 3D rendering, AI, and more, all within a single unified platform.

This model is supercharged by a core design principle: the data and compute services deployed on the Blocksense network can serve both on-chain smart contracts (Web3) and traditional applications (Web2). Traditional applications can now benefit from the same cryptographic and game-theoretic principles that power the Blocksense network, creating a new paradigm of trust-minimized Web2 services. This is enabled by a versatile verification toolkit:

• Intersubjective Services: The zkSchellingCoin mechanism provides crypto-economic guarantees for any deterministic task. Consider a financial analytics service that runs an open-source algorithm on public market data. The provider stakes Blocksense tokens to participate. When a Web2 client requests a report, the provider runs the computation, cryptographically signs the result, and returns it. If the client suspects the result is incorrect, they can initiate a challenge on the Blocksense network. This triggers a zkSchellingCoin committee to independently re-run the same computation with the same public inputs. If the committee's result differs from the provider's signed result, the provider is proven to have cheated, and their stake is slashed.
• TEE Services: For tasks involving proprietary data or IP, such as our VEIL service, our TEE-based approach provides hardware-enforced privacy combined with ZK-verified attestations of correctness.

This combination of serving both Web3 and Web2 use cases from a single, unified marketplace is the source of the network's powerful structural advantage. Node operators are not siloed and can service two distinct categories of work:

• High-Margin Verification: Core Web3 tasks like providing oracle data for high-value DeFi protocols. The fee for this work is not derived from its often-trivial computational cost, but from the immense economic value it secures on-chain.
• Low-Margin Commodity Compute: General-purpose Web2/Web3 tasks where prices are driven by open market competition.

The key insight is that the high-margin Web3 work attracts operators and subsidizes their participation in the network. The same hardware that performs high-margin verification for a Web3 DeFi protocol can, in the next moment, service a low-margin commodity compute request from a Web2 application. Operators can then offer their idle capacity to the commodity compute market at a marginal cost that specialized, single-purpose networks cannot compete with. This advantage allows Blocksense to attract a vast and diverse network of hardware providers, ensuring deep liquidity and the lowest prices for all computational services. Furthermore, as this network of capable operators becomes globally distributed, Blocksense is uniquely positioned to become the ideal platform for low-latency services such as conversational AI, online gaming, and augmented reality.

4.3 Oracle Extractable Value (OEV) as a User Rebate

Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) is an extractive force in most blockchain ecosystems. Blocksense redesigns this dynamic. Our architecture allows us to bundle many oracle updates together with meta-transactions that can act on them, all within a single, indivisible on-chain transaction. This atomicity allows us to natively capture the value associated with acting on this new information—what we term Oracle Extractable Value (OEV).

Instead of allowing this value to be captured by third-party searchers, Blocksense runs a competitive auction for the right to include transactions within these atomic bundles. This mechanism, inspired by proposer-builder separation designs, creates a hyper-competitive marketplace. Rational, profit-seeking actors will compete to find the most profitable transaction ordering and will be forced by competition to bid an amount just shy of the total profit they can extract. This dynamic ensures that the vast majority of the available OEV is captured by the auction in the form of the winning bid.

The revenue generated is then programmatically redistributed to the protocols and dApps whose activity generated the OEV opportunity in the first place. These protocols, in turn, can pass these savings on to their end-users. This transforms MEV from an invisible tax on users into a powerful retention and growth mechanism for the entire ecosystem.

4.4 The Service Bidding System

To ensure that network resources are allocated efficiently and at the lowest possible cost, Blocksense employs a secret service bidding system. Node operators secretly bid for the right to perform various duties (e.g., mempool validation, ZK proving, zkSchellingCoin voting). A service running within the protocol computes a cut-off price for each duty, selecting all bidders below that price. To prevent centralization and strategic underbidding from compromising security, the selection mechanism incorporates randomization, grouping bids into percentile-based bands and giving all bidders within a band a chance to be selected. This fosters healthy competition, driving down costs for users while ensuring the network remains decentralized and secure.

4.5 Our Durable Moat: A Self-Reinforcing Network Effect

The Blocksense economic model is designed to create a powerful, self-reinforcing network effect that forms our long-term competitive moat. The flywheel is driven by the unique properties of our shared resource pooling architecture.

Adding an additional consumer to a Blocksense service (e.g., a new protocol subscribing to an existing data feed) does not increase the operational cost of running that service. The cost is shared among all consumers. Therefore, every new consumer lowers the cost for all existing consumers. This creates a powerful economic barrier to entry. A competitor would have to match our network's scale and volume to offer a comparable price, a monumental challenge once a critical mass is achieved.

This cost advantage is reinforced by the relationship between Total Value Secured (TVS) and trust. New consumers are naturally drawn to the platform with the highest TVS, as it serves as a strong social signal of reliability. As new consumers join, the network's TVS grows, which in turn attracts more stakers and node operators seeking to earn rewards. This influx of capital and hardware further increases the network's crypto-economic security, making Blocksense an even more attractive and trusted platform for the next wave of consumers.

5. Go-to-Market: Bridging Web3 and Web2

Blocksense's advanced technology and robust economics translate directly into a suite of disruptive services. Our go-to-market strategy is focused on leveraging these services to solve acute pain points for developers and protocols across the entire Web3 ecosystem, starting with the multi-billion dollar oracle market.

5.1 The ADFS: A Hyper-Efficient Data Bus

The cornerstone of our service offering is the ADFS (Aggregated Data Feed Store). The ADFS is a smart contract system deployed on target blockchains that acts as a hyper-efficient data and transaction bus. Its power comes from aggregation: Blocksense can bundle thousands of distinct data feed updates, cross-chain messages, and meta-transactions into a single payload, the validity of which is verified on the target chain by a single, inexpensive zero-knowledge proof.

This architecture provides an order-of-magnitude cost reduction compared to any existing oracle or cross-chain messaging protocol, which typically post individual transactions for each update. The ADFS is our beachhead, enabling us to deliver superior service at a structurally lower cost.

5.2 Disrupting the Oracle Market

The oracle market is currently split between two paradigms: push and pull models. Blocksense is designed to disrupt both.

• vs. Push Oracles: Traditional "push" oracles are limited by on-chain costs, forcing a trade-off between data freshness and expense. The extreme efficiency of the ADFS breaks this trade-off. By pushing vast amounts of data at a marginal cost, we enable use cases that are currently prohibitive, such as high-frequency on-chain derivatives, real-time state updates for blockchain games, and more sophisticated algorithmic strategies.
• vs. Pull Oracles: The "pull" model requires protocols to run costly off-chain infrastructure to monitor and bring data on-chain. Blocksense offers a superior alternative through the programmability of our oracle scripts. A task like a loan liquidation can be encoded as a persistent, autonomous service that runs on the decentralized Blocksense network. This service can detect liquidation conditions and conditionally push the required data on-chain. Crucially, this process integrates with our OEV market; sophisticated actors can bid to provide the required liquidation capital on-demand, all within the same atomic ADFS transaction. This creates a hyper-efficient liquidation marketplace, eliminating the need for protocols to overpay external bots. For maximum flexibility, Blocksense also supports a traditional pull model, where a frequently rotated High-Frequency Updates Committee provides signed data off-chain.

5.3 Beyond Data: A Universal Cross-Chain Primitive

The ADFS is more than just a data delivery mechanism; it is a universal primitive for efficient cross-chain communication. Its ability to aggregate arbitrary messages and verify them with a single ZK proof has far-reaching applications:

• ZK Proof Aggregation: Rollups and ZK-coprocessors can use Blocksense as a highly efficient aggregation and settlement layer, outsourcing the expensive on-chain verification of their proofs.
• Account Abstraction Bundler: Blocksense can act as a universal bundler, gathering user operations from across the ecosystem and settling them on any target chain in a single, cost-effective transaction.
• On-Demand Liquidity: The same OEV market participants who provide capital for liquidations can also provide on-demand liquidity for cross-chain swaps and chain abstraction. This allows users to seamlessly interact with dApps on any chain while holding funds on a single chain, with Blocksense acting as the trust and messaging layer.

5.4 Flagship Compute Service: Verifiable & Private AI with VEIL

Our initial venture into the trust-minimized Web2 services market is centered on VEIL (the Verifiable Execution and Inference Layer), a flagship service that solves the critical trust deficit in AI-driven software development. While powerful, enterprise adoption of AI coding agents is stalled by the risks of IP exfiltration and a lack of execution verifiability. VEIL addresses this directly.

The foundation is agents-workflow, an open-source, git-driven toolkit for orchestrating and auditing AI agents, establishing a new standard for professional agentic development. For enterprises requiring maximum security, we offer a premium backend that runs the entire agent lifecycle within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) on the Blocksense network. This provides two cryptographically-enforced guarantees:

1. Confidentiality: The TEE ensures no one—not even the node operator—can access proprietary source code or sensitive data.
2. Verifiability: The execution is attested to by the Blocksense network, preventing "bait-and-switch" attacks where a provider might use a cheaper, less capable AI model.

By providing both an open-source standard and a premium, trust-minimized backend, VEIL creates a massive top-of-funnel and demonstrates the unique power of the Blocksense Universal Verification Layer. Crucially, it also provides a strong incentive for a global network of operators to acquire the powerful GPUs required for both high-margin AI inference tasks and the immense ZK proving needs of our boundless throughput engine, bootstrapping the supply side of our entire compute marketplace.

Ultimately, VEIL is a powerful demonstration of the Blocksense thesis. It provides high-assurance compute at a competitive price, subsidized by the network's economic flywheel. It transforms the abstract power of a universal verification layer into a concrete solution for a multi-billion dollar problem, establishing the trust and security necessary for AI to become the future of software engineering.

6. Redefining the User & Developer Experience

The ultimate measure of a protocol's success is the quality of the experiences it enables. The architectural innovations of Blocksense are not ends in themselves, but means to deliver a radically improved experience for both end-users and developers, paving the way for mainstream adoption.

6.1 For Users: The Invisible Blockchain

For Web3 to reach a global audience, the underlying technology must become invisible. Blocksense is designed to abstract away the complexities that have plagued the user experience for years.

• Frictionless Onboarding: We eliminate the need for browser extensions and seed phrases. Blocksense features a native account abstraction system built around Passkeys (WebAuthn). Users can create a wallet and sign transactions using the biometric sensors already on their phones and laptops (e.g., Face ID, fingerprint scan), providing a familiar, secure, and seamless onboarding experience.
• Zero-Cost Transactions: The high and unpredictable cost of gas is a major barrier to entry. In the Blocksense economy, transaction fees are a business expense, not a user tax. Our architecture enables flexible pricing models where applications, protocols, or even receiving parties can sponsor transaction costs, creating a "gasless" experience for the end-user.
• Instant & Secure Syncing: Users should not have to wait hours to sync a full node or trust a centralized endpoint. Blocksense light clients can sync to the latest state of the chain instantly and securely by downloading and verifying a single, succinct ZK proof of the chain's history.

6.2 For Developers: A Universe of Possibilities

Blocksense removes the traditional constraints of smart contract development, providing a Turing-complete, general-purpose platform for building a new generation of powerful applications.

• The Birth of Autonomous Agents: The combination of three core features—scheduled/recurring transactions (setTimeout/setInterval), native AI/ML model inference, and the ability to read from any on-chain or off-chain data source—creates the perfect environment for building true, on-chain Autonomous Agents. Developers can deploy persistent services that operate independently, react to external events, and execute complex logic, unlocking use cases from automated DeFi strategies to decentralized social media moderators.
• Universal Composability: Blocksense is a multi-VM environment, designed to support a range of execution engines like WASM, Move, and the EVM. This is achieved by allowing new ZK circuits that prove the execution of a given VM to be deployed as regular services on the network. We will standardize the ABI for cross-VM calls, allowing smart contracts written in different languages to communicate seamlessly, as if they were making a simple function call. This fosters a rich, interoperable ecosystem where developers can use the best tools for the job without being siloed.
• Native Privacy: The ZK-native architecture of Blocksense makes it a premier platform for privacy-preserving applications. Developers can leverage the protocol's core cryptographic primitives to build applications with confidentiality guarantees. A powerful example is a privacy-preserving, cross-chain smart wallet that uses ZK proofs to shield sensitive governance details—such as multi-signature thresholds and signers for a corporate treasury—while interacting with any connected blockchain, all managed through a simple, passkey-based interface.
• The End of the Oracle Problem: For developers, accessing external data or performing a complex computation is no longer a multi-party integration challenge. It is a native API call. By building intersubjective consensus directly into the execution layer, Blocksense transforms the entire internet into a readable, verifiable data source for smart contracts.

7. Governance

Blocksense is committed to the principles of progressive decentralization. Over time, control over the protocol will be transferred to its community of stakeholders, managed through the Blocksense DAO. The DAO's primary responsibility will be to steward the long-term health and evolution of the network.

Protocol Upgrades: The core function of the DAO is to manage protocol upgrades. As a ZK-native protocol, major upgrades involve deploying new ZK circuits and verifier contracts. This process is governed by on-chain voting of Blocksense token holders. To ensure network stability and user security, all passed proposals are executed via a timelock contract. This imposes a mandatory delay between a successful vote and the implementation of the upgrade, giving all users and applications ample time to review the changes, prepare for them, or, in the event of a contentious proposal, exit the system. This mechanism is a critical safeguard against hostile or rushed governance takeovers.

Treasury and Ecosystem Management: At the time of the Token Generation Event (TGE), a significant portion of the token supply will be allocated to a community-governed treasury. These funds will be unlocked gradually over several years to ensure long-term, sustainable development without creating downward price pressure. The Blocksense DAO will have transparent oversight of these funds, directing them towards activities that grow the ecosystem, including:

• Research & Development Grants: Funding teams and individuals to advance the core protocol.
• Ecosystem Investments: Providing capital to promising projects and applications building on Blocksense.
• Strategic Partnerships: Fostering integrations and business development initiatives.

8. Roadmap

Our path to building the universal verification layer is pragmatic and phased, prioritizing security and utility at every step. We are executing a deliberate strategy of progressive decentralization.

• Live Network: The Blocksense network is currently live and operational under a Proof-of-Authority (PoA) model, secured by a set of trusted, permissioned operators.
• Developer SDK: Our comprehensive SDK for programming intersubjective oracle services is available, allowing developers to build and deploy custom data feeds today.
• Progressive Service Rollout: Throughout 2025 and into 2026, we are launching a suite of competitive services on our PoA network. This includes the rollout of our flagship VEIL service, low-latency oracles, pull/conditional push oracles, OEV capture, cross-chain interoperability, sports data feeds for prediction markets, ZK proof aggregation, and account abstraction solutions.

• Phase 2: Bootstrapping Decentralization (Upcoming)

• EigenLayer Integration: The next major milestone is to become an Actively Validated Service (AVS) on EigenLayer. This will allow ETH re-stakers to delegate their stake to secure the Blocksense network, dramatically increasing our crypto-economic security and providing a clear path toward decentralization.

• Phase 3: The ZK-Native Protocol (2026)

• Testnet Launch (Early 2026): The testnet for the full ZK-native consensus protocol will be launched, featuring the bribery-resistant zkSchellingCoin circuits and the on-chain Futarchy mechanism for public testing.
• TGE & Mainnet Launch (Late 2026): Following a successful testnet phase, we will conduct the Token Generation Event (TGE). This will be followed by the mainnet launch of the fully permissionless, Blocksense token-staked Proof-of-Stake system. Concurrent with the TGE, we will establish the Blocksense DAO for on-chain governance.

• Phase 4: Ecosystem Maturity (Beyond)

• Fostering the Service-Oriented Paradigm: With the core protocol complete, our focus will shift to fostering a vibrant and innovative ecosystem. We believe the unique capabilities of Blocksense will serve as a fertile ground for developers to create novel applications and primitives that we cannot yet anticipate.
• DAO-led Growth: Full control of the protocol and its treasury will be transferred to the Blocksense DAO, which will steward future research, development, and growth initiatives.

9. Conclusion

The prevailing paradigms in blockchain architecture have been defined by their limitations. The Connectivity Barrier has left them isolated, while the Throughput Barrier has left them slow and expensive. These constraints have relegated a technology of immense potential to a niche corner of the digital world.

Blocksense presents a new path forward. By engineering our protocol from first principles to solve these two fundamental problems, we have created more than just a faster or more connected blockchain. We have built a universal verification layer. Our Intersubjective Truth Machine provides unbreakable, economically rational trust in any data, and our Boundless Throughput Engine provides the scale to apply that trust to any problem.

This combination unlocks a design space for decentralized applications that was previously unimaginable. From hyper-efficient cross-chain financial services to truly autonomous AI agents, Blocksense provides the secure, scalable, and economically aligned foundation for the next wave of decentralized innovation. We invite you to join us in building this future.
