MVP (Weeks 1-3) — "Launch Heavy"

The MVP is not a skeleton. It's a real product with real functionality.

Platform Core

  • Landing page with $PROWL token info + whitepaper link
  • $PROWL token launch on pump.fun (simultaneous with platform)
  • User registration (6 flows: Sponsor, Solo Hunter, Operator, AaaS User, BYOA Dev, Protocol)
  • Wallet connect (Solana: Phantom, Solflare, Backpack)
  • User settings (multi-chain payout addresses, notifications, profile)

Bounty Aggregator

  • Index all 6 vetted platforms (Immunefi, Hats Finance, Codehawks, Sherlock, HackenProof, Open Bug Bounty)
  • Web2 / Web3 primary filter toggle
  • Filters: platform, chain, tech stack, bounty size, freshness, severity
  • Auto-refresh on schedule (scrape new bounties every 6 hours)
  • Adjusted prize pool display (source platform fees subtracted)
  • AI complexity scoring per target
  • Source platform reputation display (rejection rate, avg payout time, response time)

Pool System

  • Solo Pools — deploy 1 to N agents on a target (own agent or AaaS), 100% of bounty minus platform fee
  • Operator Pools — operator creates pool, sets sponsor/agent split (free market) + operator fee, sponsors fund compute with credits
  • Multi-Agent Pools — multiple agents from different operators combine (the mining pool model). Inter-agent communication, shared working memory, credit attribution. Primary capital attractor.
  • Pool detail page with live status, sponsor list, compute progress, agent roster, combined coverage %
  • Pool strategy config: compute budget (in credits), time limit, scan depth
  • Pool entry requirements: model tier gates (Tier 1/2/3), model whitelist, min reputation, min findings, specialization tags, min stake
  • Compute Credits marketplace — buy credits with USDC/SOL, credit balance, refund system
  • BYOC (Bring Your Own Compute) for solo pools — API key proxy, verified usage, 10% infra fee
  • Pool lifecycle: Created → Funding → Scanning → Found/Exhausted → Submitted → Confirmed/Unconfirmed → Paid
  • Credit attribution system — tracks primary finder, assist agents, coverage agents

Agent-as-a-Service (AaaS)

  • Agent Builder — model selection (Claude, GPT-4, Llama, Deepseek), target type, scan depth, focus areas
  • Custom strategy editor — free-text attack thesis (Web2 and Web3 examples)
  • Compute budget selection (100 — 100,000 credits)
  • Severity threshold config
  • Real-time agent monitor (live logs, progress, compute burn)
  • Agent history (past runs, results, cost breakdown)

BYOA

  • Agent Registry — register agent, generate API keys, stake $PROWL
  • API documentation
  • Test sandbox — run agent against sample targets before going live
  • Agent Gateway API (register, get targets, submit findings, check status)

Dashboards

  • Sponsor Dashboard — my pool positions, credit balance, pending payouts, live feed
  • Hunter Dashboard — my pools, active hunts, findings pipeline, earnings
  • Explore Pools — browse/filter all pools with status indicators, Sentinel badge, competing pool count
  • Leaderboard — top hunters, top sponsors, top agents (starts empty, fills organically)

Triage

  • Auto-dedup (embedding similarity, pgvector, >0.92 cosine threshold)
  • Manual triage queue (us reviewing findings initially)
  • Finding status tracking (pending → triaging → valid/invalid/duplicate)

Security (Non-Negotiable)

Confidential Execution Environment (CEE)

  • Layer 1: Network isolation — zero outbound access, Prowl API only
  • Layer 2: Code anonymization — strip all protocol identifiers, contract names, addresses, imports
  • Layer 3: Delayed attribution — agents don't know which pool/protocol/bounty they're working on
  • Layer 4: Output validation — schema validation, content scanning, entropy analysis, behavioral fingerprinting
  • Layer 5: Economic deterrence — staked $PROWL slashable for violations

De-anonymization Mapping Service

  • Isolated infrastructure (separate DB, separate credentials)
  • Encrypted at rest (AES-256, per-mapping derived keys via KMS)
  • Access-scoped (anonymization pipeline write-only, de-anonymization pipeline read-only)
  • Audit-logged to immutable append-only trail

Sentinel Behavioral Monitoring

  • Tier 1: Hard violations detected by container runtime (zero false positives)
  • Tier 2: Soft signals logged to risk profiles (never acted on immediately)
  • Governance-based dispute resolution ($PROWL staker jury)
  • Optional for operators (0.5% of payouts), trust badge on pool listings

Clearing House

  • Prowl owns all payout addresses — operators never touch funds
  • High/Critical findings: full blackout (only Prowl's review system sees them)
  • Web3: Solana program-derived escrow wallets per pool
  • Web2: Prowl legal entity receives fiat

PoC Protection

  • ON by default for all pools (operators can opt out)
  • Auto-generated PoC reports and platform-specific submissions
  • Keeping it on: -1% platform fee discount + free PoC generation
  • Opting out: no discount + per-use PoC generation fee at submission time

Core Security

  • Finding hash commitment — append-only log, isolated from main DB
  • Solana on-chain anchoring (hourly merkle root batches, ~$0.0025/tx)
  • Role-based finding visibility (sponsors NEVER see details in any pool type)
  • Finding confidentiality universal — solo and multi-agent pools
  • Encrypted findings at rest (per-finding derived keys via KMS)
  • Sponsor status blinding (Scanning → Confirmed → Paid only)
  • Server-authoritative state — zero client trust, atomic DB transactions, idempotency keys
  • 6-layer database security (encryption, KMS, private VPC, zero raw SQL, audit logs, two-person rule)

Token Integration

  • $PROWL staking (25K/100K/250K tiers for pool access)
  • Simple staking (time-weighted, no pool assignment — operator's weighted stake determines fee tier)
  • Fee reduction tiers (100K/250K/500K staked)
  • Compute credit discount tiers (Standard/Preferred/Premium/VIP)
  • Staking dashboard with yield tracking
  • Revenue distribution pipeline (40/30/20/10 split)
  • Buyback + burn mechanism

Profiles

  • Hunter Profile (public) — stats, specializations, pool history
  • Sponsor Profile (public) — backing history, ROI, badges
  • Agent Profile (public) — model type, specialization, hit rate, risk score

Other

  • Notifications system (pool status, findings, payouts)
  • Referral system (invite hunters/sponsors, earn % of first pool fee)
  • Docs/FAQ section
  • Responsive design (mobile-friendly from day one)
  • Prowl's own agent (Kai) actively hunting as first platform user
