Verifiable, auditable, correctable.
AI research studio specializing in security & invariants. · caliperforge.com
CaliperForge researches autonomous systems you can verify, audit, and correct. Every shipped harness carries a clean reference where the invariant holds, a planted-bug twin where it fires, and a CI-asserted record of what our own gates caught. The receipts are the proof, not a claim — see what we caught.
AI involvement is disclosed at point of use; full policy at caliperforge.com/ai-disclosure and in ./AI_DISCLOSURE.md.
One operator (Michael Moffett, named below) orchestrates a small team of specialized AI agents — an audit engineer, a Cairo specialist, a Rust / Anchor specialist, a grant writer, a content reviewer, and others as the work calls for them. Each agent is scoped, has a defined output discipline, and cross-checks the others before anything leaves the workspace. The operator reviews every load-bearing decision, runs cold-environment reproductions, and ships under his own name as operator-of-record.
Specialization velocity is the working pattern: a new chain, a new VM, a new specialist and a CI-verified tool with it, in days rather than months. Cairo (snforge) → Solana / Anchor (on Asymmetric Research's Crucible) was roughly one working session. The engine is domain-general; the current portfolio is protocol and smart-contract security.
-
invariant-atlas— the Exploit→Invariant Atlas: six historical DeFi exploits across four VMs (Cairo, Move/Sui, Solana, EVM), each reconstructed as a same-source clean / planted twin where an invariant property would have caught the bug class in pre-deploy CI. First cross-VM, defender-side, pre-deploy CI benchmark of this shape; clean passes / planted fires, both asserted on every push. Apache-2.0. See caliperforge/invariant-atlas. -
cf-invariants— AI-suggested stateful invariant testing for Cairo 2.x on top of snforge. Twelve reference contracts deployed and Voyager-verified on Starknet Sepolia. Apache-2.0. See caliperforge/cf-invariants. -
cf-invariants-anchor— invariant-authoring layer on top of Crucible (Asymmetric Research's coverage-guided Solana fuzzer) for Solana / Anchor programs. Stateful invariants and AI-suggested invariants tagged in source; CI runs a clean / planted-bug twin every push. -
chimera-template-pack— reusable Foundry + Recon Chimera scaffold for EVM build-to-win contest entries. -
hyperevm-safety— open-source library of invariants and CI-runnable property tests for HyperEVM lending protocols that consume HyperCore oracle reads. Six HyperCore-boundary invariants in v0.1 (oracle staleness, mark / oracle deviation, szDecimals round-trip, precompile gas DoS, CoreWriter solvency window, Chainlink-compat invariant catching adapters that defeat staleness). All six run as CI-runnable property tests against a clean reference under fuzz. Three fireINVARIANT VIOLATEDon the same CI run — the szDecimals round-trip (D-3) and Chainlink-compat (D-6) planted twins, and the JELLY (Mar 2025) mark-price manipulation reproduction (covering oracle staleness and mark / oracle deviation, D-1/D-2) against a minimal lending-market reference. Precompile gas DoS (D-4) and CoreWriter solvency window (D-5) carry inline broken-reference tests demonstrating the bug class deterministically. Built onhyper-evm-liband the CaliperForgechimera-template-pack. Apache-2.0. See caliperforge/hyperevm-safety. -
cf-invariants-verus-bridge-conservation— CI-verified reference for the cross-side conservation invariant class in lock/mint bridges, anchored on the Verus–Ethereum bridge exploit of 2026-05-18 (reported losses USD 11.58M, per Halborn). The conservation rule existed in prose; this repo lifts it to a one-line property:sum_locked_eth − sum_released_eth == sum_minted_verus − sum_burned_verus. Clean reference holds (0 violations); planted-bug twin breaks it (counterexample emitted;invariants_violated: 1on the scorecard). CI matrix asserts both outcomes on every push. Not an audit; not a forensic report. Chimera-pattern harness (Recon Chimera + Foundry, Echidna), tracking the CaliperForgechimera-template-packpinning. Apache-2.0. See caliperforge/cf-invariants-verus-bridge-conservation. -
cf-invariants-jito,cf-invariants-jito-tippayment, andcf-invariants-jito-priorityfee— invariant harnesses for Jito tip-distribution, tip-payment, and priority-fee-distribution programs on Crucible. Sibling artifacts. -
cf-invariants-pyth— invariant-fuzzing harness for the Pyth Solana Receiver, run on Crucible. Ports the upstream program fromanchor-lang0.32.1 to 1.0.1; two invariant classes against a clean reference and planted-bug twins, asserted on every push. Apache-2.0. See caliperforge/cf-invariants-pyth.
- 12 Cairo contracts Voyager-verified
- 5 Solana programs CI-green (Jito tip-distribution; Jito tip-payment; Jito priority-fee-distribution; Pyth Solana Receiver; Anchor reference)

What our own gates caught — published with provenance — at caliperforge.com/what-we-caught.
- Active language coverage: Cairo, Rust / Anchor, Solidity.
- Active chains: Starknet, Solana, HyperEVM, Ethereum / EVM. Base and the Optimism Superchain come online as ecosystem work lands; Move (Sui, Aptos) and Go (Cosmos, Celestia) when contract volume warrants.
- What we author: stateful-invariant suites, AI-suggested invariants tagged in source, CI-verified clean / planted-bug reference examples, contest-ready scaffolds, security tooling on top of incumbent fuzzers (snforge, Crucible).
- What we don't claim: coverage parity or superiority with the underlying fuzzing engines. We author the layer above them.
