feat(examples): add signal_judge contract#1626
Conversation
SignalJudge is a crypto trading-signal evaluator example that demonstrates web fetch + LLM judgment + per-address state. Traders submit a price prediction (asset, direction, target price, reasoning); the contract fetches the live price from Binance inside a non-deterministic block and asks the validator LLMs to decide whether the prediction is correct. Per-trader win/total counts are kept in a TreeMap so the leaderboard can be queried in O(log n). Notes on consensus: - Uses prompt_comparative rather than strict_eq because current_price varies by cents between validators (Binance is queried at slightly different timestamps). - The criteria string explicitly tells the comparator to ignore current_price and reasoning_quality and only check the boolean correct field, otherwise the comparator overmatches and disagrees on cent-level differences. Notes on storage: - list/dict are not supported as field types in this GenVM version, so signal records are stored as a JSON-serialised string. - TreeMap[Address, u256] is used for win/total counts to match the llm_erc20 example pattern.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdds a two-phase SignalJudge contract: submissions register PENDING signals (deadline-based), and a new resolver fetches live Binance prices and runs LLM validators to produce a RESOLVED judgment and update per-address leaderboard counters.

Hardcoded USDT pair fails silently for tickers without a USDT market or that already end in USDT.
asset_upper + "USDT" will produce USDTUSDT for asset="USDT" and is invalid for any token Binance only quotes against BTC/ETH/etc. The gl.nondet.web.render call will then return an error payload (or HTTP 400 body) which the LLM may try to "interpret", yielding a non-deterministic / nonsense judgment that still updates total. Consider rejecting USDT explicitly and either documenting the USDT-pair-only constraint clearly or accepting a quote currency parameter.

target_price is unvalidated and interpolated raw into the prompt.
Unlike asset and prediction/reasoning, target_price is neither stripped, length-bounded, nor checked to be a numeric string before being injected into the prompt and stored in the signal log. A trader can pass arbitrary multi-line text to manipulate the LLM judgment or inflate storage. Validate it as a positive numeric string (e.g., parse with Decimal/float and re-stringify) before use.

Defensive coercion can silently flip correct to True.
bool(judgment.get("correct", False)) is unsafe defensive coding: if a model ever returns "correct": "false" (a JSON string instead of a JSON bool), json.loads yields the Python string "false", and bool("false") is True — a losing signal would be recorded as a win and reach consensus across validators. Since the prompt explicitly demands a JSON bool, parse strictly or normalize string forms.
🛡️ Proposed fix

- # which breaks calldata encoding when stored

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Keep the zero-second test timeframe out of the public ABI.
"test" is marked as integration-only, but submit_signal() accepts it on-chain. That lets anyone submit and immediately resolve against essentially the current price, which makes the leaderboard trivially farmable.

Update the eq_principle_prompt_comparative mock key to match the actual contract prompt.
The mock prompt string (lines 54-59) differs from the actual prompt in examples/contracts/signal_judge.py (lines 190-193). The mock system uses substring matching, so this mismatch will cause the mock to fail and the test to fall through to the real LLM or return incorrect results.
Change the mock key from:
"The boolean field 'correct' must have the same value across all answers. "
"Ignore any differences in 'current_price' (which varies by cents because it "
"is fetched at different timestamps) and ignore differences in "
"'reasoning_quality' (which is a subjective rating)."

What
examples/contracts/signal_judge.pyWhy
Existing examples don't cover the web fetch → LLM → on-chain state
pattern. This one does, with a realistic use case.
How it works
submit_signal(asset, prediction, reasoning, target_price, direction)fetches the live price from Binance (no API key), asks the LLM to
judge the prediction, and updates per-trader win/total counts on-chain.
Uses
prompt_comparative— validators fetch at slightly differenttimestamps so price drifts, but
correct(bool) must agree.Read methods:
get_score,get_all_signals,get_signals_by_asset,get_signal_count.Testing done
