PoC V2: from observation to full control

Proof of Computation V2 has progressed from tracking mode (v0.2.8) to full enforcement (v0.2.9). Now every node is required to prove that it genuinely performs AI computations. PoC V2 is integrated directly into vLLM — switching between inference and verification occurs instantly, without model reloading.

BLS verification: from 2 seconds to 10 ms

BLS signature cryptographic verification has been optimized by 200x thanks to the blst library and precomputation of slot keys. A critical operation performed on every block is now almost instantaneous.

Series of security fixes

SSRF vulnerabilities (redirection of requests to internal services), vote flipping (overwriting PoC validations), integer overflow (overflow during escrow calculation) have been fixed, and DoS protection has been added by limiting request body sizes.

Network transitioned to a single Qwen3-235B model

All other models have been removed from governance. Consolidation simplifies validation and improves reliability — all nodes are guaranteed to work with the same model.

24 suspicious participants disconnected

Analysis showed that 24 addresses generated PoC batches but did not participate in validation. These nodes have been removed from the allowlist. A Transfer Agent whitelist has been added for additional inference access control.
