- Job submission → Start consensus voting
- Proof verification → Collect validator votes
- Payment processing → Require consensus approval
- Reputation updates → Track PoC metrics
Goal: Type-safe contract interactions

Goal: Verify complete consensus → on-chain flow
Test Scenarios:
-
Validator Registration Test
- Stake tokens via WorkerStaking
- Register in ValidatorRegistry
- Join consensus as validator
- Verify on-chain stake matches consensus weight
-
Consensus Vote Test
- Submit job
- Validators cast votes (sign with p256)
- Reach 67% quorum
- Finalize consensus with PoC weighting
- Verify no fraud challenges submitted
-
Fraud Detection Test
- Validator casts invalid vote (wrong signature)
- Consensus detects fraud (100% confidence)
- FraudProofClient submits challenge on-chain
- Verify transaction on Sepolia explorer
- Check challenge status in contract
-
Persistence Recovery Test
- Run consensus, cast votes
- Shut down coordinator
- Restart coordinator
- Verify validators/votes recovered from RocksDB
- Continue consensus from last view
-
PoC Metrics Update Test
- Worker generates proof
- Update PoC metrics (validity, speed)
- Persist to RocksDB
- Verify voting weight changes
- Query on-chain reputation (if integrated)
