A pack of 128 judgements, answered within two blocks.
Snapverdict is a meme token on BNB Chain with one job: take its share of the 2% tax on its own trading (the part Flap forwards), hold it in a vault as BNB, and hand it to whoever answers the round's questions correctly and on time. There is no treasury behind it and nothing is minted. Without trading, the pool only shrinks.

why a fast model, and not a smart one
Two gates, and both of them are measured.
The questions are deliberately the shape one request answers in parallel: short, typed, independent, sharing a single policy card. That shape is what makes the first gate possible. A chat model has to fan the pack out across branches, pay for the policy card on every branch, and wait for its slowest one.
The clock
Measured from a US machine on a pack of 128: p50 318 ms, p95 344 ms, and 100% inside 400 ms. The nearest contender needed 1061 ms and the most accurate one 1958 ms — 0% on time, both of them.
The hard items
On the 90 hardest items in the sample, the three contenders were wrong on 29.2% to 77.8% of items. Jev was wrong on 0. On the whole screened pool the contenders were wrong on 3.6% to 7.4% of items; in the shipped season (128 items, two errors allowed) that is about 15% of packs passing for the best contender and under 2% for the others.
Honest about the shape of that second number: the entire accuracy gate rests on 90 items. It is the thinnest part of this project, and it is written up as such on what was measured.
the loop
What happens every ten minutes.
- 01The round is committedBefore a round starts, the vault is told each pack's ciphertext hash, a commitment to its answer key, and the public randomness beacon round that opens it. None of it can change afterwards.
- 02Every rig has the pack earlyThe sealed pack is published minutes ahead; each rig downloads it and checks it against the hash on chain. At the beacon instant nothing is sent, so nobody wins on bandwidth.
- 03The beacon firesThe rig opens the pack with the beacon, puts the signature on chain (the contract verifies it itself), asks the model, and commits its answers within two blocks of the opening and four seconds of the beacon.
- 04The contract scores itThe key is opened after the window. The contract scores every answer against it and weighs the score by the wallet's stake. After the season, you claim your own BNB.
The instant a pack opens is picked by the operator and committed on chain before the round, at least a minute ahead; after that nobody can move it. What opens the pack is a public randomness beacon's signature for that instant, which the contract checks itself and which nobody, including whoever runs this, can know before the beacon produces it. At that instant not a single byte is sent, so nobody wins on bandwidth.
state of play
Where things stand.
- Vault factory
- On BNB Chain at 0xEde8210927618393F3FA5ff3F0F5A7ae8A0c95fF. Its vaults score every answer on chain; the upgrade key of the beacon behind them belongs to Flap's Guardian. Only an address published on this page is the token's; treat any other as not ours.
- Testnet season
- Run end to end on BNB Chain testnet on 25 September: a token launched through the factory, one real buy paying the tax in, two seasons, eight packs, two rigs in Tokyo answering with Jev. All sixteen answers landed inside the window and the contract scored every one of them in full; the rigs then claimed their BNB, split by stake, and took their stakes back.
- Rig
- One Node.js file. It stakes, self-tests against the window, and refuses to mine on a machine that cannot make it.
- What is measured
- The two gates: how fast a pack comes back, and who gets it right. Those numbers are real and reproducible.
