How the Protocol Works?

How the Protocol Works (Lifecycle)

1. Initialization

Project submits their AI model to NovaQ (via file hash or hosted model endpoint). Protocol initializes verification sequence.

2. Model Fingerprinting

• Model is hashed using SHA3/BLAKE3

• Simulated TEE loads model, generates attestation record

• Fingerprint sent to 3+ MCP nodes for consensus

3. Merkle Log Anchor

• Each verification step is hashed and added to a Merkle Tree

• Root hash timestamped and stored (future: on-chain anchoring)

4. Prompt Optimization (if enabled)

• Developer submits prompt templates

• Optimizer rewrites using grammar tree reduction, lattice structuring, and safety checkers

• Log of optimizations stored for reproducibility

5. API Testing (if enabled)

• Protocol bombards specified endpoints with crafted prompts

• Measures latency, output quality, failure cases

• Generates Resilience Score Report with visual summaries
