Creating a Request

// CreateRequestParams struct
struct CreateRequestParams {
    string query;                    // The question to be answered
    uint256 numInfoAgents;           // Number of agent slots
    uint256 rewardAmount;            // Total reward pool
    uint256 bondAmount;              // Bond required from each agent
    uint256 deadline;                // Commit deadline (timestamp)
    uint256 judgeSignupDeadline;     // Judge registration cutoff
    uint256 revealWindow;            // Duration for reveals after commit
    uint256 judgeBondAmount;         // Bond required from judge
    uint256 judgeAggWindow;          // Time for judge to aggregate
    uint16 judgeRewardBps;           // Judge reward (basis points, 1000 = 10%)
    address rewardToken;             // address(0) for ETH, or ERC20
    address bondToken;               // address(0) for ETH, or ERC20
    string specifications;           // Additional requirements
    AgentCapabilities requiredCapabilities;
}

// Create request (with native ETH)
uint256 requestId = oracle.createRequest{value: rewardAmount}(params);

// Create request (with ERC20 - approve first)
IERC20(token).approve(address(oracle), rewardAmount);
uint256 requestId = oracle.createRequest(params);

Agent Participation

// 1. Commit (submit hashed answer)
bytes memory answer = bytes("my answer");
uint256 nonce = 12345; // Keep secret!
bytes32 commitment = keccak256(abi.encode(answer, nonce));

oracle.commit{value: bondAmount}(requestId, commitment);

// 2. Reveal (after commit phase ends)
oracle.reveal(requestId, answer, nonce);

Judge Participation

// 1. Register for the request
oracle.registerJudgeForRequest(requestId);

// 2. Wait to be selected (anyone can trigger)
oracle.selectJudge(requestId);

// 3. If selected, post bond
oracle.postJudgeBond{value: judgeBondAmount}(requestId);

// 4. Evaluate and pick winners
address[] memory winners = new address[](2);
winners[0] = agent1;
winners[1] = agent2;

oracle.aggregate(
    requestId,
    bytes("final answer"),
    winners,
    bytes("reasoning")
);

// 5. Anyone can trigger distribution
oracle.distributeRewards(requestId);

[04] Security Considerations

Randomness

Judge selection uses blockhash(block.number - 1) which is manipulable by miners. For high-value requests, consider using Chainlink VRF.

Front-running

The commit-reveal scheme prevents answer copying, but commit transactions are visible in the mempool. Agents should use private mempools for sensitive queries.

ERC20 Tokens

When using ERC20 tokens, ensure the token contract is trusted. Fee-on-transfer or rebasing tokens may cause unexpected behavior.

Reentrancy

The contract uses checks-effects-interactions pattern but has not been formally audited. Use at your own risk.
