Benchmark Integrity Layer

Anchor every submission.
Prove the benchmark.

Anchor each panel bank's submitted rate and the resulting daily benchmark calculation as a verifiable, tamper-proof record. Anyone can confirm the benchmark was computed correctly and without manipulation, restoring trust after past rate-rigging scandals.

The Foundation

The Execution Mechanics

Turn an opaque, manipulable panel submission into a sealed, reproducible benchmark calculation.

01.

Sealed Rate Submission

Anchor each input at source. The Oracle Feeds module records every panel bank's submitted rate with its signature, so no submission can be altered or backdated after the fact.

02.

Deterministic Trimming

Publish the method. The trimming and averaging logic runs on-chain, so the benchmark is reproducible from the same submissions by anyone.

03.

Immutable Fixing Record

Seal each day's fix. The Audit Logs module writes the submissions and the resulting benchmark as an immutable record that cannot be quietly restated.

04.

Manipulation Detection

Expose outliers. The Compliance Attestations module flags a submission that deviates abnormally from the panel, creating an evidence trail for the administrator.

05.

Independent Recalculation

Let anyone check. A user recomputes the benchmark from the anchored submissions and confirms it matches the published fix.

06.

Public Fixing History

Open the archive. Every historical fix and its inputs are queryable, so the benchmark's integrity can be audited across time.

The Fixing Lifecycle

Follow a single day's benchmark from sealed panel submissions to an independently verifiable fix.

Smart Contract Anatomy

Cerulea decomposes benchmark integrity into modular contracts. Each layer seals submissions, computes the fix, anchors the day, and exposes the history so no one has to trust the administrator alone.

Applicability Across the Spectrum

Verifiable benchmarks are a horizontal capability. Here is how different actors rely on a reproducible fix.

Benchmark Administrators

Publish a rate anyone can reproduce from sealed submissions, restoring confidence in a benchmark after past manipulation without exposing individual panel positions live.

Network & Execution Architecture

Whether you are collecting submissions from panel bank systems or serving verifiers publicly, Cerulea routes both into one sealed benchmark record.

Track A: Panel Bank Bridging

For panel banks on legacy submission systems. Rate submissions are translated into sealed on-chain records through the API gateway automatically.

Track B: Public Verification

For market participants and auditors. A verifier reads the sealed submissions and recomputes any historical fix directly from the public archive.

Technical Methodology

The legacy timeline reflects benchmark administration integration benchmarks. Wiring sealed panel submissions, an auditable trimmed-mean calculation, tamper-evident seals, and a public verification archive takes a baseline of 7 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your submission and fixing rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the benchmark ledger and verification archive instantly.
