Testnet Guide

Introduction

This guide provides information on what you can expect during this testnet phase. Our key objectives for this permissioned testnet are.

Objectives

During Venn's testnet phase we will work to reach the following KPIs:

  1. Ratio of 10% or less

  2. Ratio of 1% or less

  3. Response Time of 500ms or less

What To Expect?

As we go through the testnet phases, we will be onboarding select node operators onto Venn. Once your node is up and running (see Installation) it will actively participate in each of these phases, strengthening Venn's security and performance.

  • For phase one, Venn will replay 70 hacking transactions for inspection twice a day

  • For phase two, Venn will replay from January 1st 2023 to the present day

  • After setup, our engineering team may get in touch with software updates as needed

Testnet Phases

Fine tuning Venn to reach these APIs will be completed in systematic phases.

1. False Negatives

Phase 1 is currently in progress

  • Goal Minimize false negatives

  • Test Set Transactions from at least 70 hacked protocols on mainnet Ethereum, from January 1, 2023 to the present

  • Procedure Simulate all 70 transactions on all operators twice daily

  • Rationale During this first phase, we'll make sure Venn can collectively identify hacked transactions, ignoring any other noise in the data

2. False Positives

  • Goal Minimize false positives

  • Test Set

    All transactions from the same 70 protocols, starting from January 1st 2023 to present day

  • Procedure

    Cycle simulations based on overall network performance

  • Rationale Now that Venn surgically detects the hacked transactions, we want to make sure it truthfully signs off on any and all other interactions for the same protocols in the test data

3. Performance

  • Goal Onboard operators at scale

  • Test Set Up to 20 operators for this permissioned-phase testnet

  • Procedure We will gradually onboard more nodes as we progress through the test phases, supporting operators and iterating on performance improvements

  • Rationale This allows us to responsibly onboard node operators onto Venn, while still cycling through our test phases with fast iterations

Test Data

We chose 70 hacked protocols for their diversity in industry, total value locked (TVL), attack vectors, and stolen goods.

This heterogeneous mix allows us to fine-tune Venn's malicious transaction detection system, ensuring broad and effective coverage.

As we progress through iterations cycles, we will be releasing more information about the results of each phase and the hacked protocols that have been used for the tests
