Void Harvester (Deep Anomaly Missions)

Overview

Void Harvester is a persistent deep-anomaly loop where missions resolve autonomously on a fixed schedule. Probes lose integrity every mission, creating a negative-EV game that nobody self-triggers.

Why AutoLoop Is Structurally Required

Two independent reasons:

1. Timing as attack surface: if an operator could trigger the mission, they could pick the block in which the VRF reveal lands and only submit if their probe benefits.
2. Negative-EV free-rider: every probe loses 5-20 integrity per mission, only one wins the haul. Rational operators reason "let someone else pay gas." Everyone reasons identically, so nobody triggers.

Game Mechanics

• Probes: deployed at a fixed fee with initial integrity (e.g., 500). Integrity decreases with each mission via VRF-derived decay.
• Missions: require 2+ probes. Each probe pays a mission fee. Winner is selected proportionally to integrity (weighted VRF).
• Integrity loss: 5-20 per mission for every probe, derived from keccak256(randomness, probeId, "decay"). Probes hitting minIntegrity are decommissioned.
• Prize pool: mission fees minus protocol rake. Winner receives via pull-payment.

Revenue Model

• Probe deploy fees (100% to protocol)
• 5% rake on every mission prize pool
• AutoLoop gas fees on each tick
