The Validation Layer (PoV Protocol)

Purpose. Transform “we detected X” into cryptographically verifiable truth. The AI Engine emits event proofs (hashes + minimal metadata) to a low-latency, high-throughput L1 (e.g., BNB). Validators confirm ordering and authenticity without exposing sensitive content.

What gets anchored

• Event hash, timestamp, anonymized asset class, detector ID/version, confidence band, action taken.

• Optional linkage to remediation proof (post-action confirmation).

Why a chain at all?

• Tamper-evidence: neither customers nor vendors can retro-edit incident timelines.

• Cross-org correlation: de-identified proofs enable ecosystem-wide pattern detection.

• Audit/compliance: regulators and third parties can independently verify that “an event happened then.”

Event proof format

{
  "proof_version": "1.0",
  "event_hash": "0x91a…",
  "ai_confidence": 0.89,
  "class": "exfil.suspected",
  "commit_ts": "2025-03-21T11:24:33Z",
  "sig": "ed25519:…",       // engine signing key
  "anchor": {"chain":"BNB","tx":"5pW…","slot": 234…}
}

Validator role & $LATT

• Validators stake $LATT and run attesters that check proof format, replay protection, and slashing rules for misbehavior (e.g., duplicate or malformed submissions).

• Rewards weighted by uptime, correctness, and quality (measured by post-hoc adjudication & community challenges).

Latency considerations Anchoring is designed asynchronous to user workflows: the agent contains locally → AI adjudicates → chain anchor returns within seconds; UI shows incident immediately and attaches the on-chain receipt when finalized.
