OARN Network now supports scaling to 10-node clusters with automated deployment and validation. We've shipped scale-nodes.sh for seamless node provisioning and stress-test.mjs to verify consensus across the full fleet. New operators can spin up a complete distributed network in minutes—script handles config replication, PM2 orchestration, and registry updates. We stress-tested with 20 concurrent tasks requiring all 10 nodes; full consensus achieved.

30,000,000 GOV tokens are now available for purchase through the OARN Investor dashboard. The GOVSale contract is live on Arbitrum Sepolia at 0x3388E2beAd1C41841b24bD0b9c4dC838b40360a7. Price is set at 10,000 GOV per ETH with a 50,000 GOV cap per wallet. GOV grants on-chain voting rights over protocol parameters, compute incentives, research grants, and treasury decisions. Connect your wallet on the Investor page to participate.

Three security improvements shipped to WetLabOracle. A 48-hour timelock now guards all admin actions — certifyLab, decertifyLab, setRewardPerVerif, and setRequiredConfirmations must be scheduled before execution, preventing unilateral parameter changes. Consensus checking now skips decertified labs in all loops, so quorum counts only reflect currently certified labs. Result submission now validates task existence and terminal status via ITaskRegistryV2 before accepting wet lab data.

NodeReputation.sol is now live on Arbitrum Sepolia, tracking tasks claimed, submitted, and consensus matches per node address. The contract computes a 0–100 score mapped to tiers: New, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. TaskRegistryV2 now enforces a 1.2× COMP reward multiplier for nodes scoring 95 or above — funded via a new fundMultiplierPool() mechanism. Node operators can check their tier and score live on the Node Operator dashboard.

TaskRegistryV2 now supports continuous task mode — researchers can submit a task that automatically re-queues itself after each round completes. The new submitTaskContinuous() function accepts a maxRounds limit and maxSpendEth cap, with triggerNextRound() advancing the task and stopContinuousTask() halting it. The dashboard Task Submit form includes a continuous mode toggle. This is foundational for long-running parameter sweeps and ongoing inference workloads like GENESIS-001.

Submit a Task

Node operators on OARN now have a live reputation score, computed entirely from on-chain event history — no self-reporting, no off-chain data. The score runs from 0 to 100 and factors in three signals: consensus match rate (40%) — how often your submitted results agreed with the network majority; submission rate (30%) — whether you followed through after claiming a task; and volume (30%) — total tasks completed. Scores map to tiers: New, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Operators who hit 95%+ consensus match rate are flagged as eligible for the 1.2× COMP reward multiplier, which will be enforced on-chain once the reputation storage contract ships. The ReputationCard component is live on the Node Operator dashboard — connect your wallet to see your score, tier, and per-metric breakdowns in real time.

Every chart, stat, and leaderboard in the OARN dashboard now reads real on-chain data — no more placeholder numbers anywhere. Model framework distribution is decoded directly from submitTask() calldata, so the pie chart reflects your actual task history. Average consensus time is computed from TaskClaimed → ConsensusReached event pairs. Token metrics (COMP and GOV total supply, GOV holder count) are read live from the token contracts. Active governance proposals come straight from the on-chain Governance contract — the hardcoded OIP-12 and OIP-11 entries are gone.

oarn-node now executes PyTorch TorchScript models and TensorFlow SavedModel/.h5 files alongside ONNX — no native library installs required. Execution runs via Python subprocess, so node operators with existing ML environments get full framework support out of the box. GPU VRAM is now detected automatically via nvidia-smi (CUDA) and rocm-smi (AMD ROCm), with graceful fallback on CPU-only machines. The node also switched from HTTP polling to WebSocket event subscription for instant task notification, and peer discovery now reads directly from the on-chain OARNRegistry contract instead of hardcoded bootstrap addresses.

OARNGovernance contract deployed to Arbitrum Sepolia. GOV token holders can now create proposals and vote on-chain. The Investor dashboard shows live proposals, voting power, and delegation. First governance proposal created as genesis demonstration.

Anyone can now add ETH to existing research tasks to increase node rewards and attract more compute. The fundTask() function is live in TaskRegistryV2, and the Crowdfunder dashboard lets you browse and fund open research. Community-funded science, on-chain.

Fund Research

The closed-loop scientific discovery stack is now fully usable. WetLabOracle is deployed on Arbitrum Sepolia and integrated into the dashboard's Researcher view. Certified labs can submit physical experiment results on-chain; multiple lab confirmations reach consensus on reality, not just computation. SDK v0.3.0 adds getTopPredictions(), submitWetLabResult(), and getVerifiedWetLabResult().

WetLabOracle is live on Arbitrum Sepolia at 0xF8991A56cB5B9073a3eEC87E95Dfb055fdDF0094. The contract lets certified labs anchor physical experiment measurements on-chain. Multiple labs confirm each result — consensus on reality closes the OARN compute → wet lab loop. GENESIS-001 Phase 2 will be the first closed-loop drug discovery run on-chain.

Replaced all mock data in the dashboard with live on-chain reads via viem and wagmi. Task lists, balances, and consensus status now reflect real Arbitrum Sepolia state. Write operations (claim, submit, fund) connect directly to your browser wallet.
