/trace - CYNIC Judgment Tracing

"Trust, but verify on-chain"

Quick Start

/trace <judgment_id>

What It Does

Traces a judgment through the full integrity chain:

Judgment → PoJ Block → Merkle Proof → Solana Anchor

Proves that a judgment:

1. Was created at a specific time
2. Has not been tampered with
3. 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

/trace jdg_abc123

Trace with Full Details

/trace jdg_abc123 --verbose

Implementation

Use the brain_trace MCP tool:

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:

brain_poj_chain({ action: "status" })

Verify chain integrity:

brain_poj_chain({ action: "verify" })

Get recent blocks:

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:

*[expression]* Tracing judgment [id]...

Closing:

• Verified: Don't trust. Verify. ✓ Verified.
• Pending: Awaiting anchor. Check back later.
• Failed: Chain broken at [stage]. Investigate.
