Events and limits

OCH-1.1 emits each state transition needed to reconstruct a task from Arbitrum One logs. The deployed hub also applies explicit calldata, timing, and economic bounds before it accepts state changes.

Task lifecycle events

Section titled “Task lifecycle events”
Event Indexed fields Data fields
TaskCreated taskId, creator, specHash verifierId, verifier, inputHash, maxRewardUSDC, minBondUSDC, acceptDeadline, maxComputeWindowSec, createdAt, specURI
TaskSelected taskId, creator, delegatee rewardUSDC, bondUSDC, feeBpsSnapshot, escrowedRewardUSDC, computeWindowSec, selectedAt, activateDeadline, encryptedKey
TaskActivated taskId, delegatee activatedAt, submitDeadline
TaskCompleted taskId, delegatee outputHash, complete publicValues, outputURI
TaskSelectionCancelled taskId —
TaskCancelled taskId, specHash —
TaskTimedOut taskId slashedBondUSDC

The lifecycle is:

OPEN → SELECTED → ACTIVE → COMPLETED
  │        │          └→ TIMED_OUT
  │        └→ OPEN
  └→ CANCELLED

Supporting events

Section titled “Supporting events”
Event Indexed fields Data fields
BidNonceIncremented delegatee newNonce
FeeConfigSet — globalFeeBps, treasury
GlobalMinBondSet — globalMinBondUSDC
FeesClaimed to amount
VerifierSet verifierId verifier, active

Deployed hub constants

Section titled “Deployed hub constants”
Constant Value Unit and effect
ARBITRUM_ONE_CHAIN_ID 42161 The constructor requires the runtime chain ID to equal Arbitrum One.
USDC_DECIMALS 6 Rewards, bonds, and fees use USDC microunits.
MAX_FEE_BPS 2000 20%; bounds the configurable settlement fee.
MAX_PROOF_LEN 131072 Bytes; caps proof calldata at 128 KiB.
MAX_PUBLIC_VALUES_LEN 1024 Bytes; caps proof-bound public values.
MAX_SPEC_URI_LEN 200 Bytes; bounds the off-chain TaskSpec locator.
MAX_OUTPUT_URI_LEN 200 Bytes; bounds the off-chain result locator.
MAX_ENCRYPTED_KEY_LEN 1024 Bytes; bounds selection key-delivery data.
MIN_COMPUTE_WINDOW_SEC 300 Seconds; tasks and bids provide at least five minutes to compute.
ACTIVATION_WINDOW_SEC 900 Seconds; a selected delegatee has 15 minutes to activate.

STATS_V1 adds an exact publicValues length of 224 bytes. The hub requires every publicValues payload to be at least 96 bytes and word-aligned, then binds its first three words to taskId, inputHash, and a non-zero outputHash before calling the verifier.

Settlement protections

Section titled “Settlement protections”
  • Task creation snapshots the verifier address and runtime code hash, so later registry changes do not alter that task’s proof route. Selection separately snapshots the chosen fee.
  • EIP-712 bids bind the hub address, runtime chain ID, task commitments, validity deadline, nonce, and salt. Signature validation supports EOAs and ERC-1271 contract wallets.
  • Selection refunds the difference between the maximum escrow and chosen reward immediately. Activation is the point where the delegatee posts the bond and becomes timeout-slashable.
  • Completion requires the selected delegatee, an active task, an unexpired submit deadline, a valid proof, and public values bound to the task. State changes happen before payout.
  • Pausing blocks createTask, selectBid, and activateTask while leaving proof submission and refund, cancellation, and timeout paths available.
  • Treasury fees accrue on successful completion and move only through claimFees.
