Integrity

OUR INTEGRITY PLEDGE

Every run in Point Zero One is deterministic, cryptographically signed, and permanently recorded. We don't ask you to trust us. We prove it.

HOW VERIFICATION WORKS

01

Deterministic Seed

When a run starts, the server generates a cryptographic seed. This seed determines every market event, card draw, and scenario for the entire run. The seed is recorded before any player input.

02

HMAC Decision Chain

Every decision you make is logged with an HMAC-SHA256 signature chained to the previous entry. If any entry in the chain is modified, every subsequent hash becomes invalid. Tampering is mathematically impossible to hide.

03

Proof Card Generation

When the run ends, the entire decision chain, outcome, and verification hash are compiled into a proof card. This card is stored permanently and can be independently verified by anyone.

COMPETITIVE GUARANTEES

๐ŸŽฒ

Determinism

Same seed + same decisions = same outcome. Every run is reproducible. If you share your seed and decision log, anyone can replay and verify your result.

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ

Server Authority

The server is the single source of truth. Clients cannot modify game state. All calculations (net worth, card effects, market movements) happen server-side.

๐Ÿ”„

Replay Verification

Any run can be replayed from its seed and decision log. The verification system re-executes every step and confirms the final outcome matches.

๐Ÿ“Š

Statistical Anomaly Detection

Our ML pipeline monitors for statistically improbable patterns across player runs. Flagged runs enter quarantine for review before proof cards are issued.

WHEN SOMETHING LOOKS WRONG

If our systems detect a statistical anomaly in a run, it enters quarantine.

1

Quarantine

The run is flagged and its proof card is withheld pending review. The player is notified.

2

Automated Review

The verification system replays the run from its seed and decision log. If the replay matches, the flag is cleared.

3

Manual Review

If automated review is inconclusive, a human reviewer examines the decision chain. Players can submit context.

4

Resolution

The run is either verified (proof card issued) or rejected (run marked as integrity violation). Rejections can be appealed.
