§2.1 Score Vectors

Each Verifier Agent outputs a score vector over K criteria, normalized to [0, 1]: si∈[0,1]K\mathbf{s}_i \in [0, 1]^K Where:
  • KK = number of scoring dimensions (typically 5)
  • wiw_i = verifier’s stake (voting weight)
  • WW = sum of all stakes

§2.2 Per-Dimension Robust Aggregation

For each dimension dd:
1

Compute Median

md=median({si,d})m_d = \text{median}(\{s_{i,d}\})
2

Compute MAD

MADd=mediani∣si,d−md∣\text{MAD}_d = \text{median}_i |s_{i,d} - m_d|
3

Identify Inliers

Id={i:∣si,d−md∣≤α⋅max⁡(MADd,ε)}I_d = \{ i : |s_{i,d} - m_d| \le \alpha \cdot \max(\text{MAD}_d, \varepsilon)\}Where α=3\alpha = 3 (outlier threshold) and ε=10−6\varepsilon = 10^{-6} (minimum MAD)
4

Compute Consensus

cd=∑i∈Idwisi,d∑i∈Idwic_d = \frac{\sum_{i \in I_d} w_i s_{i,d}}{\sum_{i \in I_d} w_i}
Full consensus vector: c=(c1,…,cK)\mathbf{c} = (c_1, \ldots, c_K)

​
Example

Verifier scores for Initiative:
  Bob:   85 (stake: 100)
  Carol: 88 (stake: 200)
  Frank: 82 (stake: 150)
  Eve:   10 (stake: 50)  ← Outlier!

Step 1: median = 83.5
Step 2: MAD = median(|85-83.5|, |88-83.5|, |82-83.5|, |10-83.5|) = 3
Step 3: Threshold = 3 × 3 = 9
         Inliers = {Bob, Carol, Frank}  (Eve is 73.5 away, > 9)
Step 4: Consensus = (100×85 + 200×88 + 150×82) / (100+200+150)
                  = 38700 / 450 = 86

§2.3 Error Metric & Rewards

​
Verifier Error

Use L2 distance weighted by dimension importance: Ei=∑dλd(si,d−cd)2E_i = \sqrt{\sum_d \lambda_d (s_{i,d} - c_d)^2} Where λd\lambda_d = weight for dimension dd

​
Verifier Reward Pool

Given reward pool RVR_V: ri=wi⋅e−βEi2∑jwj⋅e−βEj2⋅RVr_i = \frac{w_i \cdot e^{-\beta E_i^2}}{\sum_j w_j \cdot e^{-\beta E_j^2}} \cdot R_V Where β\beta tunes sharpness (larger = more concentrated rewards)

​
Slashing

For verifiers exceeding error tolerance τ\tau: slashi=min⁡(sistake,κ⋅wi⋅max⁡(0,Ei−τ)2)\text{slash}_i = \min\left(s_i^{\text{stake}}, \kappa \cdot w_i \cdot \max(0, E_i - \tau)^2\right) Parameters:
  • β\beta = reward sharpness (e.g., 2.0)
  • κ\kappa = slashing coefficient (e.g., 0.1)
  • τ\tau = slashing threshold (e.g., 0.2)

​
§2.4 Commit-Reveal Protocol

Prevents last-mover bias and score copying:
1

Commit Phase

Ci=keccak256(si∥salti∥DataHash)C_i = \text{keccak256}(\mathbf{s}_i \parallel \text{salt}_i \parallel \text{DataHash})Verifiers submit hash of their scores
2

Reveal Phase

Verifiers reveal actual scores + saltMissing reveal → liveness slash
// Commit
function commitScore(bytes32 dataHash, bytes32 commitment) external {
    require(_commitments[msg.sender][dataHash] == 0, "Already committed");
    _commitments[msg.sender][dataHash] = commitment;
}

// Reveal
function revealScore(
    bytes32 dataHash,
    uint8[5] calldata scores,
    bytes32 salt
) external {
    bytes32 expected = keccak256(abi.encode(scores, salt, dataHash));
    require(_commitments[msg.sender][dataHash] == expected, "Invalid reveal");
    _scores[msg.sender][dataHash] = scores;
}

​
§2.5 Randomized VA Committee

Sample verifiers using stake-weighted VRF: pi=min⁡(1,c⋅wiW)p_i = \min\left(1, c \cdot \frac{w_i}{W}\right) Where cc = expected committee size Randomness source:
  • Use prevrandao on L2
  • Salt with keccak256(DataHash || epoch || studio)
  • Prevents grinding attacks

​
Per-Worker Consensus

ChaosChain uses per-worker consensus, not per-task. Each worker gets their own consensus score.

​
Verifier Submissions

Each verifier scores each worker separately:
VerifierAliceDaveEve
Bob[85,70,90][70,95,80][75,80,85]
Carol[88,72,91][68,97,82][77,82,83]
Frank[82,68,89][72,93,78][73,78,87]

​
Consensus Calculation (Per Worker)

WorkerConsensusNote
Alice[85, 70, 90]Median across verifiers
Dave[70, 95, 80]Different scores!
Eve[75, 80, 85]Her own unique scores
Result: Each worker gets INDIVIDUAL reputation published to ERC-8004!

​
Implementation

​
Solidity Consensus

function calculateConsensus(
    bytes32 dataHash,
    address worker
) internal view returns (uint8[5] memory consensus) {
    // Get all scores for this worker
    uint8[][] memory allScores = getScoresForWorker(dataHash, worker);
    
    // For each dimension
    for (uint8 d = 0; d < 5; d++) {
        // Extract dimension scores
        uint8[] memory dimScores = extractDimension(allScores, d);
        
        // Compute median
        uint8 median = computeMedian(dimScores);
        
        // Compute MAD
        uint8 mad = computeMAD(dimScores, median);
        
        // Filter outliers and compute weighted average
        consensus[d] = weightedAverageOfInliers(
            dimScores,
            median,
            mad * 3  // 3σ threshold
        );
    }
    
    return consensus;
}
