Staying in good standing

Beta uses signed quotes and measured service; canaries, challenges, and quarantine transitions remain Shadow controls.

Good standing in the beta comes from serving the model and performance you quote. The router measures real time to first token, completion reliability, verification trust, and throughput. Those measurements affect future auction scores without relying on a provider's own performance claims.

Beta and Shadow controls

  • Signed quotes: a live quote is a firm commitment; rejecting a matching routed request is attributable to the signer.
  • Measured service: slow, incomplete, low-trust, or low-throughput service receives a higher effective score and loses future fills.
  • Shadow canary evidence: operator probes can support supervised review of model substitution or deployment drift; no continuous public audit service is promised.
  • Shadow review lane: approved reviewer wallets can challenge a receipt; an operator records the verdict, and an upheld result records the affected claim state as quarantined. Shadow state alone does not filter routing.
no live collateral programProvider bond_amount is declared metadata, not escrowed USDC. Omnious has not approved a minimum bond, withdrawal delay, customer-refund split, insurance pool, or automatic collateral slash.

Shadow challenge arithmetic

Version s0-2026.07.1is limited to approved reviewer wallets. Filing locks max(25 GPUs, 1× the receipt's base customer points earn). An operator-recorded uphold applies a points slash of max(250 GPUs, 25× provider net earn), pays half to the challenger, burns half, and records the claim state as quarantined. Rejected filings forfeit the reviewer's stake; ambiguous verdicts release it.

Recovery

Quarantine state is claim-scoped and operator-mediated. Recovery requires evidence that the deployment serves the claimed model again, followed by an operator decision. In the default Shadow mode, neither quarantine nor restoration changes routing. Historical points effects do not disappear when the state later changes.

As a providerThe best defense is operational: quote executable capacity, keep the signed commitment, serve the claimed model, and use score feedback to fix measured under-performance.
As a challengerThe current lane is an approved-reviewer program, not an open bounty. A declared bond is not collateral available for payout.
