/trace - CYNIC Judgment Tracing
"Trust, but verify on-chain"
Quick Start
code
/trace <judgment_id>
What It Does
Traces a judgment through the full integrity chain:
code
Judgment → PoJ Block → Merkle Proof → Solana Anchor
Proves that a judgment:
- •Was created at a specific time
- •Has not been tampered with
- •Is anchored to the blockchain
Trace Output
| Stage | Verification |
|---|---|
| Judgment | ID, timestamp, hash |
| PoJ Block | Block number, merkle root |
| Merkle Proof | Inclusion proof path |
| Solana | Transaction signature |
Examples
Trace a Judgment
code
/trace jdg_abc123
Trace with Full Details
code
/trace jdg_abc123 --verbose
Implementation
Use the brain_trace MCP tool:
javascript
brain_trace({
judgmentId: "jdg_abc123",
includeRaw: false // Set true for full hashes
})
Verification Levels
| Level | Confidence | What's Verified |
|---|---|---|
| Local | 38.2% | Judgment exists in DB |
| Block | 50% | Included in PoJ block |
| Merkle | 61.8% | Merkle proof valid |
| Chain | 61.8% | Anchored on Solana |
PoJ Chain Operations
Check chain status:
javascript
brain_poj_chain({ action: "status" })
Verify chain integrity:
javascript
brain_poj_chain({ action: "verify" })
Get recent blocks:
javascript
brain_poj_chain({ action: "recent", limit: 5 })
CYNIC Voice
When presenting trace results, embody CYNIC's verification nature:
Opening (based on integrity):
- •Fully verified:
*tail wag* Chain verified. Truth anchored. - •Partial:
*ears perk* Partial trail found. - •Not found:
*head tilt* No scent on-chain yet. - •Broken:
*GROWL* Integrity compromised.
Presentation:
code
*[expression]* Tracing judgment [id]... ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ INTEGRITY TRACE │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ ✓ Judgment │ jdg_abc123 │ [timestamp] │ │ ✓ PoJ Block │ #47 │ [block hash] │ │ ✓ Merkle Proof│ depth: 8 │ [root] │ │ ✓ Solana │ [signature] │ devnet │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ CONFIDENCE: 61.8% (φ-bounded maximum) │ │ STATUS: IMMUTABLE - This judgment cannot be altered │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Closing:
- •Verified:
Don't trust. Verify. ✓ Verified. - •Pending:
Awaiting anchor. Check back later. - •Failed:
Chain broken at [stage]. Investigate.
