Axient: Canonical Protocol-Graph Composition for Leveraged Event Markets: Single State Authority, Atomic Composition, Durable Sagas, and Exactly-Once Recovery

Battle Count: 50

Highly relevant for infrastructure developers and protocol architects in quantitative finance, particularly those building leveraged trading platforms or DeFi protocols. Less directly relevant for strategy developers focused on alpha generation, as it addresses the underlying execution and settlement infrastructure.

High complexity due to the requirement for strict authority mapping, atomic multi-contract transactions, durable saga implementations, and deterministic deployment manifests. Requires deep understanding of EVM semantics, smart contract security, and distributed systems theory.

The paper provides a public evidence companion with sanitized FIA definitions, schemas, and checksums. It includes an offline verifier for published structure and metadata. However, raw runtime payloads and operating-system paths are excluded, and the evaluation is limited to a local Anvil chain environment rather than production networks.
