Honesty

What is actually deployed

A blanket disclaimer at the bottom of a page tells a reader nothing about which part to trust. This is the same claim, one row at a time.

The vault

Compiled with solc 0.8.26 and executed on Robinhood Chain's own EVM through eth_call. Not deployed by this repository, and there is no canonical instance. Deploying costs gas from a wallet and this repository holds no key. The app deploys one from yours.

The measurement

Read live from rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com with no key and no proxy, and committed to data/chain.json so the pages build from a fixed snapshot rather than a fetch that might fail. The core reader re-runs the same arithmetic in your browser against the chain as it is now.

Deploying one

There is no canonical instance and this repository holds no key. The app builds the creation transaction in your browser and hands it to your wallet; the exact bytes it sends have been estimated as a real transaction from a funded address on this chain at 1,704,191 gas, about 0.000407 ETH. A constructor that would revert cannot be estimated, so that number is also a proof it works. The control is that deliberately corrupted creation code is refused.

Once an instance exists, tools/verify-deploy.mjs 0x… adopts it: it reads the whole interface, confirms the address wrote exactly one genesis layer — a contract that merely answers is a candidate, not a Varve — and records it. Until then the honest answer is the one in the table.

What has not been done

  • No external audit. 29 properties, 21 sabotages, 2,208 randomised operations under eight invariants and a mechanical ABI read are a thorough self-review. They are not an audit, and the difference is that nobody independent has looked.
  • No formal verification.
  • No deployment by this repository, so no live value at risk — and no track record either.
  • The census samples 2.07% of the chain. It is a sample and the pages say so.
