AI‐VFD
AI-Based Validator Fraud Detection (AI-VFD) is an advanced security mechanism within NovaNet’s Hybrid Quantum-Blockchain Infrastructure. It leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI), pattern recognition, and quantum-assisted anomaly detection to identify fraudulent validators attempting to exploit the network.
Traditional fraud detection relies on static rules, making it vulnerable to sophisticated attackers who evolve their strategies over time. AI-VFD, however, is a self-learning model that continuously adapts and strengthens fraud detection by analyzing validator behavior, staking patterns, and network activity in real time.
AI-VFD monitors validator behavior in real time and flags unusual activity, such as:
- Validator collusion or bribery attempts
- Repeated missed blocks & abnormal downtime
- Suspicious staking & unstaking patterns
- High-frequency redelegation between validators
It uses machine learning models to detect fraud patterns and prevent Sybil attacks.
Quantum computing principles enhance fraud detection accuracy using a Quantum Entangled Pattern Recognition (Q-EPR) model.
Where:
-
$$F_{score}$$ ) = Validator Fraud Score -
$$P_{streak}$$ = Penalty weight for missing consecutive blocks -
$$A_{downtime}$$ = Anomaly detection for validator downtime -
$$T_{redelegation}$$ = Frequency of staking redelegation, signaling possible manipulation -
$$W_n$$ = AI-adjusted fraud weight based on severity
Any validator exceeding a fraud score threshold is flagged for investigation.
- Validators with a high fraud risk score receive penalties, reputation downgrades, or slashing.
- Fraudulent validators lose their staking rewards and face governance-imposed sanctions.
- Honest validators gain improved AI reputational scores, boosting their rewards.
- Self-Learning AI Models – Adapts fraud detection in real time.
- Quantum-Assisted Risk Assessment – Provides ultra-fast fraud evaluation.
- Governance-Driven Transparency – All fraud detection logs are on-chain & auditable.
- Automated Validator Removal – Protects the network from persistent malicious actors.
AI-VFD integrates with the NovaNet Core & Validator Infrastructure, specifically within:
- NovaNetValidator.sol – To automatically slash or penalize malicious validators.
- AISlashingMonitor.sol – To maintain fraud history & validator penalties.
- AIValidatorReputation.sol – To adjust validator reputation based on AI-VFD findings.
- AIAuditLogger.sol – To store fraud detection logs on-chain for governance review.
Quantum AI for Instant Fraud Detection – Applying QML (Quantum Machine Learning) to speed up fraud detection.
AI-Based Dynamic Staking Adjustments – Penalizing or boosting validator staking weights based on fraud scores.
Cross-Chain Fraud Prevention – Extending AI-VFD to detect fraud across multiple blockchains & validator networks.
