Parano1d v2. From live value to live rights.

Application research

Live Agents. Autonomy without trusted APIs.

Each participant checks funding and authority through its own Agent Core and exchanges verifiable receipts with other agents. No explorer or hosted API decides what is valid. Parano1d makes this practical without downloading and replaying the network's full transaction history.

Parano1d v2. Capacity and consensus

Two block classes, one contract core and a 30-second target. The computational budget becomes an explicit network profile.

Poseidon2b Is Secure!

Security belongs to an exact instance. Fix GF(2^128), width four, the matrices, 8+58 rounds and feed-forward mode, then apply the published attacks.

Parano1d meets NIST PQC Category 1

An executable end-to-end theorem accounts for the complete recursive State proof, parallel quantum-oracle access, coherent Poseidon2b response cost and every NIST MAXDEPTH point.

FS-FRI security in Parano1d: a Block–Tiwari analysis

An exact Block–Tiwari analysis of Parano1d's production recursive State proof gives 127 provable and 127 conjectured bits against a 128-bit target.

Protocol study

Why a block is accepted only with its recursive proof

An early design accepted a block first and produced its recursive proof later in the background. The canonical chain could therefore move ahead of the HistoryStep-proven tip, forcing nodes to persist and recover a second queue. The production design accepts the block and its matching HistoryStep together: one atomic object, one canonical height and no deferred proof backlog.

Prove the block once, then search the nonce

HistoryStep binds every semantic header field under a nonce-free domain. PoW can vary the nonce without rebuilding the transition proof.

Bootstrapping from proof-carrying State

A joining node validates headers, verifies one recursive transition proof at a finalized boundary, installs exact live State and applies no more than eighteen recent blocks.

AuthStream: bounding a block-wide authorization workload

In an earlier 255-authorization layout, streaming compilation bounded 14–16 MiB of private input with 4.7% overhead. Its terminal proof missed the production latency budget.

Negative result

The proof got 20% smaller and 68% slower

Fusing two Merkle relations saved 5.94 KB but enlarged the combined multilinear trace and removed parallelism. Proving regressed from 2.68 to 4.50 seconds.
