Werracle: Sub-Cent Intra-Block AI Reflex Oracles and Flash-Loan Circuit Breakers for EVM Smart Contracts

Contemporary neural inference architectures rely on dense floating-point weight matrices stored in high-bandwidth memory (VRAM), incurring severe memory-wall bottlenecks and preventing native execution inside deterministic virtual machines like the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Verifying termination and arithmetic invariants for recursive dynamical systems over continuous domains is generally undecidable in the Blum-Shub-Smale model. Here, we present the formal verification and bare-metal empirical validation of WERR (Waves & Errors) and Phase III Orbital Error Dynamics (OED), a non-tensor decision paradigm that procedurally synthesizes non-linear decision boundaries on demand from a 24-byte coordinate seed $Θ= (c_x, c_y, \text{zoom})$ along the boundary of the Mandelbrot set ($\partial\mathcal{M}$). By projecting the recurrence $z_{n+1} = z_n^2 + c$ onto the modular residue ring $\mathbb{Z}/9\mathbb{Z}$ and the fixed-point domain $\mathbb{Q}_{16.16}$, we establish ten machine-verified theorems in Lean 4 (v4.34.1) with Mathlib4 and zero unproven conjectures (sorry): proving $\mathcal{I}_3 = \{0,3,6\} \subset \mathbb{Z}/9\mathbb{Z}$ ideal closure, universal fuel-bounded halting ($\le 9$ and $\le 12$ steps), absence of $\mathbb{Q}_{16.16}$ square overflow below $2^{63}-1$, non-constant boundary escape sensitivity, and a parametric EVM gas bound ($\le 22,557 \le 24,000$ gas). Evaluated on a 40-core Dual Intel Xeon server, the vectorized 36-iteration CPU kernel processes 100,000 decisions in 6.49 s (15,397 decisions/s, 0 Bytes VRAM, 15.15x speedup), while a sigmoidal outlier gate suppresses 100.00% of adversarial spikes while preserving 89.60% of clean baseline signals.

Autonomous AI agents are emerging as interfaces for decentralized finance (DeFi) actions such as swaps, lending operations, and yield management. Because these agents rely on large language models (LLMs) to plan transactions, they inherit the LLM's susceptibility to prompt injection and lack of mechanisms to bind a verifier's approval to the exact transaction ultimately submitted on-chain. We present PACE (Policy-Attested Contract Execution), a transaction-level authorization framework that interposes between an LLM-based agent and on-chain execution. PACE introduces typed transaction intents, a deterministic policy verifier, and signed Policy Decision Records (PDRs) that cryptographically bind the approved intent, policy, and simulation report to the exact execution bytes, with replay and expiration protection. A Solidity smart account enforces PDR signatures on-chain with a measured overhead of 29,826-31,822 gas. We evaluate PACE against six baselines on 40 tasks spanning four attack categories plus benign utility (2,800 trials, 10 seeds). In our deterministic sandbox, PACE achieves a 0.00 unsafe execution rate and 0.00 false-positive rate on benign tasks, compared to 0.80 for the unguarded baseline. Ablation studies identify permissive policy settings (+57.5 pp) and the touched-contract allowlist (+12.5 pp) as the dominant safety components. To test whether the same deterministic floor holds for real model outputs, the artifact additionally provides a three-model live-LLM evaluation over the full task suite with repeated runs. A mainnet-fork harness is included for archive-RPC deployments, but fork results are reported only when the corresponding artifacts are generated. These auxiliary studies are separate from, and never substitute for, the deterministic benchmark. We frame our claims as logic-level safety within a reproducible benchmark rather than deployment-ready DeFi security.

We present Jolt Atlas, a zero-knowledge machine learning (zkML) framework that extends the Jolt proving system to model inference. Unlike zkVMs (zero-knowledge virtual machines), which emulate CPU instruction execution, Jolt Atlas adapts Jolt's lookup-centric approach and applies it directly to ONNX tensor operations. The ONNX computational model eliminates the need for CPU registers and simplifies memory consistency verification. In addition, ONNX is an open-source, portable format, which makes it easy to share and deploy models across different frameworks, hardware platforms, and runtime environments without requiring framework-specific conversions. Our lookup arguments, which use sumcheck protocol, are well-suited for non-linear functions -- key building blocks in modern ML. We apply optimisations such as neural teleportation to reduce the size of lookup tables while preserving model accuracy, as well as several tensor-level verification optimisations detailed in this paper. We demonstrate that Jolt Atlas can prove model inference in memory-constrained environments -- a prover property commonly referred to as streaming. Furthermore, we discuss how Jolt Atlas achieves zero-knowledge through the BlindFold technique, as introduced in Vega. In contrast to existing zkML frameworks, we show practical proving times for classification, embedding, automated reasoning, and small language models. Jolt Atlas enables cryptographic verification that can be run on-device, without specialised hardware. The resulting proofs are succinctly verifiable. This makes Jolt Atlas well-suited for privacy-centric and adversarial environments. In a companion work, we outline various use cases of Jolt Atlas, including how it serves as guardrails in agentic commerce and for trustless AI context (often referred to as AI memory).
