Adversarial-Resilient Settlement Protocol

A secure, MEV-resistant settlement protocol for processing trades and rights transfers on-chain.

Built for the TriHacker Tournament hackathon (Dec 4-5, 2025).

---

🎯 Problem Statement

Design and implement an adversarial-resilient settlement protocol with:

• Fair Ordering — Settlement independent of validator ordering
• Invariant Enforcement — 3-5 provable core invariants
• Partial Finality Logic — Settlement across multiple blocks
• Oracle Manipulation Resistance — Dispute and correction mechanics
• Attack Model Clarity — Defined adversary capabilities and defenses

• Frontend: Next.js + RainbowKit + Wagmi
• Framework: Scaffold-ETH 2
