Challenge Review Passes; the Referee Design Is Fixed

With the node economic model settled, the team was moving from broad design to details for later implementation. The second version of the attention challenge protocol passed review, and the referee contract design was frozen. The protocol and contract design now had a stable version, so later writing and implementation would no longer have to guess at the same definitions.

With the node economic model settled, the team was moving from broad design to details for later implementation. The attention challenge protocol concerned how participation would be judged, so the review first had to clear up ambiguities in the rules.

The second version of the attention challenge protocol passed review, and the referee contract design was frozen. A-Zhen focused on how the software instructions would explain what participants needed to do once the design was fixed. After the review, she noted the terms that still needed plain-language explanations.

The protocol and contract design now had a stable version, so later writing and implementation would no longer have to guess at the same definitions. It was the design that had been frozen, not a live feature. A-Zhen's next task was to make the technical wording readable to ordinary participants; actual operation still lay ahead.
