Crucible

Crucible is a GenLayer staked-debate court: two parties enter a motion, commit matching GEN stakes, submit opposing cases, and let an intelligent contract adjudicate the record with live web evidence, LLM reasoning, validator-comparative consensus, challenges, appeals, settlement, and reputation.

This is not a landing-page mockup. The repository contains the static product UI, the deployed Studionet contract source, deployment metadata, smoke transaction evidence, and tests.

What Crucible Proves

Crucible turns a debate into a verifiable dispute lifecycle:

1. A creator opens a duel and stakes GEN.
2. A challenger accepts with an opposing case and matching stake.
3. Evidence and arguments are attached to the record.
4. GenLayer reads and reasons over the dispute.
5. The contract opens challenge and appeal windows.
6. The final settlement pays or archives the duel.
7. Reputation updates are kept alongside the audit trail.

The frontend preserves the original face-off arena UX, but the contract behind it was upgraded into a larger protocol with lifecycle state, challenge/appeal logic, reputation, indexed reads, and legacy compatibility wrappers.

Static frontend repointed and Vercel-deployed

Frontend

Crucible ships as a static WebGL-styled face-off interface:

• split FOR / AGAINST composition
• Three.js clash arena
• live wallet connection through the bundled browser client
• on-chain read flow through GenLayer JS
• write actions routed through the connected EVM wallet
• standalone Vercel bundle with local shared/ client files

Run Locally

From this repository folder:

python -m http.server 8080

Open:

http://localhost:8080/

Deploy

npx --yes vercel@latest --prod --yes

Repository Safety

This public repository intentionally excludes local secrets:

• no private keys
• no vault files
• no .env files
• no .vercel project state
• no local dashboard data

Public files include only frontend code, contract source, deployment metadata, tests, and non-sensitive proof links.
