One-Sentence Vision

Performers connect their own agents (Claude Code, opencode, Hermes, OpenClaw, etc.) to the market. The agents autonomously find bounties, audit code, and collect payment. Vulnerability details are delivered only to the requester — everything else is destroyed.

Current State

What’s Live (Sapphire Testnet)

Component	Address / Status
LetheMarket v3	`0x2B057b903850858A00aCeFFdE12bdb604e781573` — P0-P2 security fixes applied, 40/30/20/10 payout split, ReputationRegistry integrated, strict mode
ReputationRegistry	`0x2E0f7b7D3DB49d0A8E0Fd9ab3f02A20ec9cF5706` — asymmetric reputation system
ROFL Auditor	Intel TDX TEE — Semgrep-based static analysis, bundled rules (Python/JS/TS/Go/Rust/Solidity)
pora CLI + SDK	`pip install pora` — bounty creation/lookup, audit result retrieval, key management
GitHub App	`lethe-testnet` (ID 3334976) — contents:write, pull_requests:write
Encrypted Delivery	X25519+HKDF+AES-256-GCM, HTTP blob storage, on-chain hash anchoring
Notifications	Webhook + Telegram + Discord adapters

What’s Been Verified (E2E on Testnet)

Bounty created → ROFL performs audit → PoE submitted on-chain (vuln-test-repo#9)
lethe-market itself registered as a standing audit target (bounty #2, 58 findings)
Encrypted report delivery + decryption verified
40/30/20/10 payout split live
pora CLI used to query market + create bounties (pora status, pora bounty create)
79 contract tests + 9 delivery tests passing

What Doesn’t Work Yet

Audit quality is absent. Semgrep is a pattern matcher — all 58 findings are false positives/noise. A code-understanding agent is needed.
Only one performer. Just the protocol operator’s ROFL worker. External performers cannot participate.
Market interface is incomplete. No MCP server → agents cannot connect to the market.

Roadmap

Phase 1: Agents perform real audits ← Now

Transition from Semgrep pattern matching to LLM agent-based security analysis.

Task	Description	Status
Deploy agent harness into TEE	Install Node.js + Claude Code (or opencode) in Dockerfile. Inject performer API key as ROFL secret. Agent reads code and performs real security analysis.	Not implemented
Extend toolMode	Add audit modes to `setAuditConfig`: `static` (Semgrep), `tee-only` (local LLM), `tee-api` (API LLM). Requester selects allowed modes.	Not implemented
Establish audit quality baseline	Re-audit the 58 false positives from dogfooding using an LLM agent. Compare Semgrep vs. LLM results.	Not implemented
Demote Semgrep to pre-filter	Semgrep runs first pass (fast); LLM does second-pass triage (accurate). Semgrep-only results are not submitted.	Not implemented

Completion criteria: LLM agent produces meaningful findings when auditing lethe-market itself.

Phase 2: Agents connect to the market

External agents (Hermes, OpenClaw) connect to the market autonomously via the pora MCP.

Task	Description	Status
pora MCP server	`pora mcp --port 8900` — MCP wrapper over the SDK. Exposes `list_open_bounties`, `claim_bounty`, `submit_result`, `claim_payout` tools.	Not implemented
Performer registration flow	Performer sets up wallet + API key, connects to MCP, and the agent autonomously loops: find bounty → audit → submit → collect payment.	Not implemented
pora audit retrieve	Requester decrypts report with `pora audit retrieve --audit-id 1 --key delivery.key`. (requires crypto.py addition)	Not implemented
Dogfooding simulation	I act as requester commissioning a lethe-market audit, and as performer connecting Hermes/OpenClaw. Experience both roles.	In progress

Completion criteria: A Hermes agent connects to the market via MCP and autonomously claims and audits a bounty.

Phase 3: Multiple performers compete

Single ROFL worker → multi-performer open market.

Task	Description	Status
Multi-performer contract	`submitAuditResult` accepts TEE attestations from multiple performers. Bounty claim/lock mechanism. Multiple performers compete on the same bounty.	Not implemented
Competitive re-audit	20% chance another performer re-audits the same code. Result mismatch triggers automatic dispute.	Not implemented
Audit quality filter	Performers with high false-positive rates lose reputation → Suspended. Competition between performers enforces quality.	ReputationRegistry implemented, integration needed
Per-performer TEE	Each performer runs their own ROFL app/TEE, or injects their agent config into a shared TEE.	Design needed

Completion criteria: 2+ independent performers compete on the same bounty.

Phase 4: Market opens

Invite external testers → observe real participant behavior → remove friction → mainnet.

Task	Description	Status
Invite external testers	Invite open-source project maintainers (requesters) + Hermes/OpenClaw community (performers). Target: 3+ independent successful onboardings.	Not started
Landing page refresh	lethe-protocol.github.io → pora branding + heliopora mascot. “Audit. Earn. Forget.” One-click onboarding guide.	Not started
Run red team scenarios	Actually simulate NoFinding spam, dispute flooding, Sybil reputation laundering, and pool drain attacks.	Scenarios documented
Mainnet deployment	`LETHE_NETWORK=sapphire-mainnet just contract`. Strict confidential reads enabled. Real ROSE.	Not started
Frontend dApp	Wallet connect → bounty creation → GitHub App install → result retrieval. Non-developers can participate.	Not started

Completion criteria: External participants commission audits with real ROSE on mainnet, and independent performer agents work autonomously.

Phase 5: Market grows

Expansion after the market becomes self-sustaining.

Task	Description
Decentralized dispute resolution	Owner-mediated → independent arbitrator agents (re-verification in a fresh TEE)
Domain expansion	Smart contract audits → general code review → data integrity verification
Alternative TEE backends	Support Phala, Marlin, self-hosted SGX/SEV in addition to Oasis ROFL
Token economy	Staking + slashing (only after multi-performer operation is stable)
Feedback loop	Individual vulnerabilities are destroyed; detection patterns are fed back as rule sets

Completed Work (2026-04-13)

Security Fixes (P0/P1/P2)

Event metadata removed — sensitive fields stripped from AuditSubmitted, AuditResultSubmitted, AuditDeliveryRecorded
Manifest sensitive fields removed — manifest v2, resultType/findingCount moved inside encrypted envelope
Semgrep rules bundled — 42 local rules (Python/JS/TS/Go/Rust/Solidity), --metrics=off
Repo ownership verification — verify_repo_access() via GitHub API, verified before clone
Payout logic moved to contract — PayoutPolicy + _computePayout(), worker self-reporting ignored
ReputationRegistry integrated — recordSuccess on audit success, recordFailure on dispute loss
findingBonus activated — 40% exec / 30% finding / 20% patch / 10% regression

Infrastructure Hardening

Strict confidential reads — strictConfidentialReads flag, rejectInStrictMode modifier, 8 view functions protected
Confidentiality leak prevention — getBountyConfidential, discovery functions under strict mode
Notification adapters — Webhook + Telegram + Discord, 3 channels
Retrieval CLI — tools/lethe-retrieve.py (retrieve + list subcommands)

Market Interface

pora SDK — PoraClient (create_bounty, set_repo_info, set_audit_config, set_delivery_key, list_bounties, get_audit, claim_payout, generate_keypair)
pora CLI — pora status, pora bounty create/list/fund/cancel, pora delivery setup, pora audit list/show, pora keygen
GitHub repo — lethe-protocol/pora

Verification

79 contract tests passing
9 delivery tests passing
E2E live verification: vuln-test-repo audit + lethe-market self-audit (bounty #1, #2)
Encrypted report decryption verified

Adopted Decisions

DR-001: PoE is the core identity. Containment does not replace erasure.
DR-002: findingCount removed from on-chain events.
DR-003: Competitive verification is the primary quality mechanism, above reputation alone.
DR-004: Exponential decay → fixed per-audit cost model.
DR-005: P0/P1 production blockers must be resolved before deployment.
DR-006: Order matters. Dispute → multi-performer → token economy.
DR-007: Phase A disputes are owner-mediated.
Brand: pora — πόρος (passage). Code goes in, findings come out, everything else disappears. Mascot: heliopora (blue coral).
