commit-reveal-v1, in plain language
A plain-language walk through the mechanism that decides a wave — what is committed, what is revealed, and how anyone can check the two match.
A wave is decided by a published mechanism, commit-reveal-v1. The name describes the shape: a commitment is made before the wave runs, and a reveal afterward shows the committed value never changed.
The two moments
- 01
Commit
Before the wave opens, the mechanism and a sealed input are written to the open record. The seal fixes the value without disclosing it.
- 02
Reveal
At the close of the wave, the sealed value is revealed. Anyone can recompute the outcome and confirm it matches the commitment made beforehand.
Why the order matters
Because the commitment exists before the wave and the reveal proves it did not change, the outcome cannot be steered after the fact. The proof is structural, not a promise we ask you to take on our word.
