No proof,
no answer.
A metered read layer for onchain data that declines to answer rather than guess. One query fans out across independently pinned subgraph deployments speaking the same schema, each checked against live chain head.
Enough of them fresh and in agreement, you get a number and a signed receipt. Otherwise you get a refusal - and a refusal is free.
* run it live | real HBAR, real subgraphs ->Verified before the read. Settled only after it passes.
A read that fails the provenance policy returns 409 REFUSED and is never
charged. You only ever pay for an answer this service is willing to stand behind.
// how the gate works
Seven stages between your query and a number.
The fourth is the product. Everything before it is plumbing; everything after only runs because it passed.
Challenge
Unpaid read returns 402 with x402 requirements. No key, no signup.
Prove funds
Facilitator validates the signed Hedera transfer. Nothing moves yet.
Ask every source
Same query hits every pinned deployment in the family via The Graph.
Provenance gate
Lag, age, quorum, agreement. Any failure refuses the whole read.
Settle or refuse
Pass settles in HBAR. Fail returns 409, unsettled.
Sign a receipt
Answer, sources, and blocks - hashed and signed.
Split and hold back
Sources get paid; a slashable slice stays unvested.
// built on
Three integrations, none decorative.
The Graph
the data- Pinned deployment IDs and byte-identical schema hashes.
- Live gateway queries - no fixtures on the serving path.
Hedera
the money- x402 over HBAR via Blocky402;

Bazantic

// stated plainly
What this does not do.
- Payees are opt-in demo operatorsConsent is real EIP-191. Production indexer teams have not necessarily registered.
- Disputes are evidence-backed, not fully trustlessGraph re-derive offchain; onchain open plus arbiter or deadline uphold.
- Testnet scaleHedera testnet HBAR and a demo liability pool - not insurance.
- Resale float is operator-fundedBazantic USDC and our HBAR rails do not bridge.
