OctantWatch

OctantWatch is an AI agent that audits Octant public goods funding epochs for voter manipulation in real time — and stores every finding permanently on-chain. Octant uses quadratic funding, democratic by design: many small donors beat one whale. But this creates a specific vulnerability. Coordinated groups split across many wallets and vote for the same projects together, silently gaming the matching pool. Passport XYZ catches fake humans — but not real humans coordinating. You call the agent with an epoch number. It pulls every voter and allocation for that epoch, cross-references every wallet against every other wallet, detects coordination rings, flags mercenary voters by their GLM lock/unlock timing, and identifies which funded projects received inflated allocations from suspicious voting rings — showing each project's actual vs clean funding and whether they were a direct beneficiary of manipulation. The audit report is written in plain English and stored gaslessly on Status Network — permanent, tamper-proof, and queryable on-chain by anyone. Octant or any governance participant can call OctantWatch before a distribution and get a verifiable integrity verdict on every project in the epoch. Any agent can load the OctantWatch skill file and interact with it in natural language — asking "analyze epoch 8", "did funded projects ship?", or "is this wallet trustworthy?" and getting back cited, verifiable answers. OctantWatch is not a closed system — it is open agent-callable infrastructure that works with any LLM. The integrity scores and clean funding estimates are designed as on-chain attestations that Octant can query before every distribution — a concrete mechanism improvement over the current raw vote counting system. Beyond voter manipulation, OctantWatch also lets anyone query the full funding picture for any epoch. Ask which project received the most matching funds, who the top donors were, how concentrated or spread out the funding was, and whether any specific project was inflated by coordination rings. You can drill into any individual project by name or address — see how many donors it had, what it received, its rank in the epoch, and whether suspicious wallets were behind its funding. You can also check any individual wallet's donation history and integrity score — whether it was part of a coordination ring, whether it locked GLM just to vote then immediately unlocked, or whether it had a conflict of interest by funding projects it was also paid by. Every signal is correlated — a project that ranked #1 in matching but had 80% of its donors flagged tells a very different story than its raw numbers suggest.
