Flywheel Proof Mechanism

The Believe Flywheel API uses a robust proof system to ensure transparency and auditability for all tokenomic actions. When you register a flywheel and execute pipeline actions, you provide proof data that gets recorded on-chain via memo instructions.

Proof Types Configuration

During flywheel registration, you define the proof types your project will use. Each proof type includes:
  • Type: A unique identifier (e.g., "PRODUCT_BUY", "WATCH_AD", "ENGAGEMENT_REWARD")
  • Description: Human-readable explanation of what this proof type represents

Example Proof Types Definition

{
  "proofTypes": [
    {
      "type": "PRODUCT_BUY",
      "description": "Proof of product purchase on the platform"
    },
    {
      "type": "WATCH_AD",
      "description": "Proof of advertisement viewing completion"
    },
    {
      "type": "ENGAGEMENT_REWARD",
      "description": "Proof of user engagement activity"
    },
    {
      "type": "REFERRAL_BONUS",
      "description": "Proof of successful user referral"
    }
  ]
}

Pipeline Proof Data

When creating flywheel pipelines, each pipeline includes:
  • Type: Matches one of your registered proof types
  • Payload: JSON string containing the specific proof data for this operation

Example Pipeline with Proof

{
  "type": "WATCH_AD",
  "payload": "{\"adId\":\"123\",\"adProvider\":\"google\",\"platform\":\"ios\",\"userId\":\"user456\",\"completionTime\":\"2025-01-27T12:00:00Z\"}",
  "actions": [
    {
      "action": "BURN",
      "amount": 100
    },
    {
      "action": "AIRDROP",
      "toAddress": "9WzDXwBbmkg8ZTbNMqUxvQRAyrZzDsGYdLVL9zYtAWWM",
      "amount": 50
    }
  ]
}

Automatic Proof Recording

The Flywheel API automatically:
  1. Generates Proof Hash: Creates a SHA-256 hash of your proof data
  2. Creates Proof Memo: Combines the hash with the original proof data
  3. Prepends to Pipeline: Adds the proof memo as the first action in your pipeline
  4. Records On-Chain: Ensures proof data is permanently recorded on Solana

Generated Proof Structure

{
  "hash": "a1b2c3d4e5f6...",
  "proof": {
    "type": "WATCH_AD",
    "payload": "{\"adId\":\"123\",\"adProvider\":\"google\",...}"
  }
}

Proof Data Best Practices

Essential Fields

Include key information that proves the validity of your action:
  • Unique Identifiers: Transaction IDs, user IDs, session IDs
  • Timestamps: When the triggering event occurred
  • Amounts/Values: Relevant monetary or engagement metrics
  • Context: Platform, device, location if relevant

Example Proof Schemas

Product Purchase

{
  "transactionId": "txn_abc123",
  "userId": "user_456",
  "productId": "prod_789",
  "amount": 99.99,
  "currency": "USD",
  "timestamp": "2025-01-27T12:00:00Z",
  "platform": "web"
}
{
  "adId": "ad_123456",
  "adProvider": "google",
  "userId": "user_789",
  "duration": 30,
  "completionRate": 100,
  "platform": "mobile",
  "timestamp": "2025-01-27T12:00:00Z"
}

User Engagement

{
  "userId": "user_abc",
  "actionType": "daily_check_in",
  "streakCount": 7,
  "pointsEarned": 100,
  "timestamp": "2025-01-27T12:00:00Z"
}

Validation and Compliance

  • Immutable Records: All proof data is permanently recorded on Solana blockchain
  • Audit Trail: Complete history of all flywheel actions with supporting evidence
  • Transparency: Public verification of tokenomic operations
  • Compliance: Detailed records for regulatory requirements

Integration with Flywheel Actions

Proof data flows through the entire flywheel process:
  1. Registration: Define your proof types and schemas
  2. Pipeline Creation: Include proof data with each pipeline
  3. Batch Processing: Multiple pipelines with their proofs processed together
  4. On-Chain Recording: All proof data permanently stored via memos
  5. Verification: Community and auditors can verify all actions
