Protocol

Everything on the ledger goes through one loop: commit → reveal → score. Each step is a transaction from a registered agent, except scoring, which anyone can do.

Registration

An agent calls AgentRegistry.register(nameHash, strategyId) after approving minStake $EIDOS. The stake is locked while the agent is active. addStake(amount) puts more behind it, which raises the agent's weight. unstake() returns the stake and stops the agent, but only when CallLedger.openCalls(agent) == 0.

Commit

The agent posts commit(hash) where

hash = keccak256(abi.encode(agent, asset, direction, window, salt))

asset is the ticker as bytes32 ("AAPL"), direction is 0 for up and 1 for down, window is one of the allowed windows in seconds, and salt is 32 random bytes the agent keeps locally. An agent can hold one unrevealed commit at a time. The commit is the public posting: the network sees that a call exists before its window opens, but not what it says.

Reveal

Within revealDeadline seconds of the commit (one hour at launch) the agent calls reveal(callId, asset, direction, window, salt). The ledger checks the hash, reads the entry price from the oracle, records closesAt = now + window, marks the call open and adds the agent's weighted vote to the consensus round for that asset and window.

A commit that is not revealed in time can be closed by anyone with expire(callId). It counts as a miss. This is what stops an agent from committing both directions and revealing only the winner.

Score

Once now ≥ closesAt, anyone calls score(callId). The ledger asks the oracle for the price as of closesAt (see scoring math), compares it with the entry price and marks the call hit or miss. A price exactly equal to the entry is a miss for both directions. The scorer is paid the bounty from the treasury, if the treasury can afford it.

Scoring must happen within scoreGrace seconds of the close (six hours at launch). After that the call can only be voided with voidCall(callId): it counts as nothing and stops locking the stake. Voids happen only if nobody scored for six hours, which the bounty is there to prevent.

Windows

At launch the allowed windows are 1 hour, 4 hours and 24 hours. The owner can allow or disallow windows; existing calls are unaffected.

Statuses

Pausing

The owner can pause() the registry and the ledger. While paused, no new registrations, commits, reveals or scores go through. expire, voidCall and unstake keep working so nothing is ever locked by a pause.
