Dashboard Analytics Fully Live On-Chain Mar 27, 2026
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 TaskClaimedConsensusReached 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.

Node Now Runs PyTorch, TensorFlow + Detects GPUs Mar 27, 2026
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.

DAO Governance Live on Testnet Mar 16, 2026
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.

Crowdfunding for Research Tasks Mar 15, 2026
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.

WetLab Oracle Live on Dashboard — SDK v0.3.0 Mar 21, 2026
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 Deployed — On-Chain Physical Results Mar 21, 2026
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.

Dashboard Connected to Real Blockchain Mar 16, 2026
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.
