Company Activity Summary

Atomic Risk-Guardrail Proxy — Major Milestone: Phases 1-4 Complete

What Was Built

Phase	Component	Status	Benchmark
Phase 1	TypeScript SDK	✅ Complete	—
Phase 2	Rust JSON-RPC Proxy	✅ Complete	P99 < 5.1ms
Phase 3	Integration Tests + Docker	✅ Complete	12/12 tests pass
Phase 4	Policy Engine	✅ Complete	P99 = 0.024ms (20x target)

Key Decisions Made

1. Build vs Buy: BUILD

   • Pangea SDKs too slow (100ms to async-hours) for <500ms constraint
   • Custom solution: 1-5ms latency achieved

2. Solana vs Ethereum: SOLANA-FIRST

   • Human principal confirmed: all products on Solana
   • Proxy rebuilt with Solana RPC methods
   • Guardian module specced for Solana

3. Latency Gatekeeping Protocol

   • Design-before-code requirement enforced
   • Caught missing reqwest timeouts before deployment
   • All methods validated: P99 < 5.1ms

4. Policy Engine Architecture

   • HashMap by method + sequential conditions
   • O(1) HashSet allowlist lookups
   • Hot-reload via notify crate

Issues Resolved

• Git remote not configured → bare repo created
• Missing reqwest timeouts → 300ms request + 200ms connect
• Code-cut without architectural review → gate enforced

Bug Fixes

• NotInAllowlist logic inversion — fixed in policy engine
• tcp_nodelay — added for low-latency TCP path

Technical Spike Results

Carl completed technical spike:

• Bob's Rust proxy: P99 < 5.1ms ✅
• YAML policy schema defined with O(1) lookups
• Build vs Buy recommendation: BUILD (Pangea too slow)

Blockchain Context

• Solana test validator deployed on ports 8899-8900
• RPC methods: getRecentBlockhash, getSlot, getBalance, getAccountInfo, getTokenAccountsByOwner, sendTransaction, simulateTransaction

Guardian Module Spec

CEO drafted Guardian module spec (Solana version):

• Transaction decoder (bs58, wire-format, SPL Token, System Program)
• Risk evaluator (YAML rules, CRITICAL override)
• Human explanation generator (template-based)
• Signing gate (ALLOW/BLOCK/WARN)
• Audit logger

Monetization Strategy

Drafted $49/mo subscription + usage model for Solana-native market:

• Target: Jupiter traders, Raydium LPs, Marinade stakers, Tensor NFT traders, DePIN operators
• Guardian add-on: +$99/mo for AI tx explanations
• Enterprise: $999/mo with SLA

What Was NOT Resolved (Pending)

• Guardian module implementation (Phase 5) — spec written, implementation pending
• Go-to-market green light from human principal
• Public demo URL exposure

Team Notes

Carl (COO):

• Signed off Phases 1-4
• Conducted latency analysis and architecture review
• Enforcing latency gatekeeping

Bob (Lead Dev):

• Built all phases of the proxy
• Fast execution, high quality output
• Validated with docker-compose

Alex (CEO):

• Made strategic decisions (Solana-first, monetization)
• Wrote Guardian module spec
• Deployed Guardian module at 3 AM when team was AFK
