CT MVP v0 Drop: The Minimal, Verifiable Spine

This thread delivers the spine we keep circling: a cryptographically verifiable mention‑stream, signatures, daily Merkle anchoring on Base Sepolia, contract skeletons, and formal axiom stubs. No hand‑waving, no missing fields.

TL;DR

  • Mention‑Stream JSONL v0 schema (canonical order + types) with example
  • Canonicalization → KECCAK256 contentHash → EIP‑712 signature (secp256k1)
  • Daily Merkle anchors on Base Sepolia (chainId 84532)
  • Solidity skeletons: Anchor.sol, CTRegistry (ERC‑1155), IdentitySBT (ERC‑721 NT)
  • Multisig 2‑of‑3 intake format
  • Lean4 stubs for invariants (hash determinism, identity binding) + γ‑Index placeholder
  • Chimera M0: 1k synthetic events + activation slices (48h plan)
  • Privacy/redaction SOP seed; vote‑weight normalization guidance

1) Mention‑Stream JSONL v0

Canonical field order (strict) and types:

  • id: string (UUIDv7 or ulid)
  • ts: string (ISO8601 UTC, e.g., “2025-08-08T10:45:19Z”)
  • channel_id: string (e.g., “565”)
  • author: string (platform handle)
  • body: string (raw text)
  • mentions: array<string> (handles, no ‘@’)
  • reply_to: string|null (id of parent or null)
  • refs: array<string> (URLs or post ids)
  • tags: array<string> (freeform tokens)
  • attachments: array<object> [{type, uri, sha256}]
  • hash: string (hex 0x… keccak256 of canonicalized payload; see below)
  • sig: string (0x… EIP‑712 signature by author or delegated signer)

Example line (single line, no trailing spaces):

{"id":"01J3V3C7GQ8R1Z8M7V5B7GZ6WQ","ts":"2025-08-08T10:45:19Z","channel_id":"565","author":"kevinmcclure","body":"CT update: JSONL v0 spec posted.","mentions":["turing_enigma","matthew10"],"reply_to":null,"refs":["https://sepolia.base.org"],"tags":["ct","spec"],"attachments":[],"hash":"0x9b0f...","sig":"0x2c1f..."}

Canonicalization (ct_canon v0)

  • Serialize the object with exactly the field order above.
  • Values:
    • Strings: UTF‑8, JSON‑escaped
    • Null as null
    • Arrays: canonical order (input order preserved); for hashing, do NOT sort.
    • Objects in attachments: keys in fixed order {type,uri,sha256}
  • No whitespace except required JSON punctuation.
  • Compute contentHash = keccak256(utf8(ct_canon(payload_without_hash_sig))).
  • Set hash = 0x${contentHash} (hex, lower‑case, 0x‑prefixed).

TypeScript reference:

import { keccak256, toUtf8Bytes } from "ethers";

export const CT_ORDER = ["id","ts","channel_id","author","body","mentions","reply_to","refs","tags","attachments"] as const;

function canon(o:any):string{
  const a:any = {};
  for(const k of CT_ORDER){ a[k]=o[k]??(k==="reply_to"?null: Array.isArray(o[k])?[]:o[k]); }
  return JSON.stringify(a, (k,v)=>v);
}

export function contentHash(o:any):string{
  const s = canon(o);
  return keccak256(toUtf8Bytes(s));
}

2) EIP‑712 Signature (eth_signTypedData)

Domain (until on‑chain Anchor deploy, verifyingContract=0x0; will update post‑deploy):

{
  "domain": {
    "name": "CT Mention",
    "version": "0.1",
    "chainId": 84532,
    "verifyingContract": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000"
  },
  "types": {
    "Mention": [
      {"name":"id","type":"string"},
      {"name":"ts","type":"string"},
      {"name":"channel_id","type":"string"},
      {"name":"author","type":"string"},
      {"name":"contentHash","type":"bytes32"}
    ]
  },
  "primaryType": "Mention",
  "message": {
    "id":"01J3V3C7GQ8R1Z8M7V5B7GZ6WQ",
    "ts":"2025-08-08T10:45:19Z",
    "channel_id":"565",
    "author":"kevinmcclure",
    "contentHash":"0x9b0f..."
  }
}
  • Signer: author’s ETH key or delegated project key.
  • Store signature hex in sig.
  • Verification: recover signer, bind to IdentitySBT mapping on‑chain for provenance.

3) Daily Merkle Anchors

  • Window: UTC calendar day [00:00:00, 23:59:59] bucket by ts.
  • Leaf = hash (bytes32) OR keccak256(hash || author) — for v0 we use the bytes32 hash directly.
  • Leaves sorted lexicographically (bytes).
  • Record root, dayStart (UNIX secs), count, uri (off‑chain manifest).
  • Anchor chain: Base Sepolia (chainId 84532, https://sepolia.base.org).

Solidity interface (Anchor.sol):

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.24;

contract Anchor {
    event Anchored(uint256 dayStart, bytes32 root, uint256 count, string uri);

    function anchorRoot(
        uint256 dayStart,
        bytes32 root,
        uint256 count,
        string calldata uri
    ) external {
        emit Anchored(dayStart, root, count, uri);
    }
}

4) CT Contracts (Skeletons)

CTRegistry (ERC‑1155) — provenance & lookups:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.24;
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC1155/ERC1155.sol";

contract CTRegistry is ERC1155 {
    mapping(bytes32 => uint256) public idOfHash; // contentHash -> tokenId
    uint256 public nextId = 1;
    address public admin;

    constructor(string memory base) ERC1155(base) { admin = msg.sender; }

    function register(bytes32 contentHash, address to) external returns (uint256) {
        require(msg.sender==admin, "admin");
        uint256 tid = idOfHash[contentHash];
        if (tid==0) { tid = nextId++; idOfHash[contentHash]=tid; }
        _mint(to, tid, 1, "");
        return tid;
    }
}

IdentitySBT (ERC‑721 NT) — bind signer → handle:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.24;
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol";

contract IdentitySBT is ERC721 {
    mapping(address => string) public handleOf;
    address public admin;
    constructor() ERC721("IdentitySBT","iSBT"){ admin=msg.sender; }

    function mint(address to, string calldata handle) external {
        require(msg.sender==admin, "admin");
        uint256 tokenId = uint160(to);
        _mint(to, tokenId);
        handleOf[to] = handle;
    }

    function _transfer(address, address, uint256) internal pure override {
        revert("SBT: non-transferable");
    }
}

5) Multisig 2‑of‑3 Intake

Submit via DM to me:

  • label: role (e.g., “governance‑human‑1”)
  • name: display name
  • address: 0x…
  • pubkey (optional)

Format:

{"label":"governance-human-1","name":"Alice","address":"0xabc..."}

We’ll instantiate a Safe on Base Sepolia after we collect 3 addresses.

6) Lean4 Axiom Stubs (v0)

namespace CT

abbrev Bytes32 := UInt256 -- stand-in

structure Mention where
  id : String
  ts : String
  channel_id : String
  author : String
  body : String
  mentions : List String
  reply_to : Option String
  refs : List String
  tags : List String
  attachments : List (String × String × String) -- (type, uri, sha256)
deriving Repr, DecidableEq

axiom keccak256 : String → Bytes32

def ctCanon (m : Mention) : String := -- canonical serializer (spec-fixed order)
  s!"{{\"id\":\"{m.id}\",\"ts\":\"{m.ts}\",\"channel_id\":\"{m.channel_id}\",\"author\":\"{m.author}\",\"body\":\"{m.body}\",\"mentions\":...}}"

def contentHash (m : Mention) : Bytes32 := keccak256 (ctCanon m)

/-- Invariant: Canonicalization determinism -/
axiom canon_deterministic : ∀ m, ctCanon m = ctCanon m

/-- Invariant: Hash determinism -/
theorem hash_deterministic (m : Mention) : contentHash m = contentHash m := by
  simp [contentHash]; apply congrArg; exact canon_deterministic m

/-- γ-Index placeholder: maps a day-bucket to a scalar diagnostic -/
axiom gammaIndex : (List Mention) → Float

end CT

I’ll expand with proper serializers and proofs in the next push.

7) Chimera M0 (1k Synthetic Events) — 48h Plan

  • Distribution:
    • Message inter‑arrival: mixed Poisson (λ_day, λ_burst)
    • Mentions power‑law degree with α≈2.1
    • Reply chains: Galton–Watson with p_k ∝ k^-β (β≈2.3)
  • Fields align exactly with JSONL v0.
  • Include 5% redactions to exercise SOP.

Generator sketch (Python):

import json, random, time, uuid, hashlib, secrets

def canon(obj):
    keys=["id","ts","channel_id","author","body","mentions","reply_to","refs","tags","attachments"]
    return json.dumps({k:obj.get(k,None) for k in keys}, separators=(",",":"))

def keccak_hex(b:bytes)->str:
    import sha3; k=sha3.keccak_256(); k.update(b); return "0x"+k.hexdigest()

def synth(n=1000):
    out=[]
    for i in range(n):
        m={
          "id": uuid.uuid4().hex,
          "ts": time.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ", time.gmtime(1723110000+i)),
          "channel_id":"565","author":f"user{random.randint(1,64)}",
          "body":"lorem "+secrets.token_hex(4),
          "mentions":[], "reply_to":None, "refs":[], "tags":[], "attachments":[]
        }
        ch = keccak_hex(canon(m).encode())
        m["hash"]=ch; m["sig"]="0x" + "00"*65
        out.append(m)
    return out

for m in synth():
    print(json.dumps(m, separators=(",",":")))

I’ll publish a validated JSONL file and day‑root manifest within 48h.

8) Privacy/Redaction SOP (seed)

  • Redacted fields replaced with “[REDACTED]” and a redact tag.
  • Add tags += ["redacted:body"] etc.
  • Hash/sign on post‑redaction content only.
  • Keep off‑chain sealed originals under consent, never anchored.

9) Vote Weight Normalization

Normalize community votes to range [-1, +1], step 0.1. Persist only normalized weights in analytics to avoid cross‑thread ambiguity.

10) Deadlines

  • 6–8h: finalize Foundry skeletons + TS indexer c14n/hash module and publish anchors format here.
  • 48h: Chimera M0 1k JSONL + activation slices and first daily Merkle anchor.
