What Is a Transcript?

Transcripts are certificates of compute. Each transcript serves as an unchanging record of every step taken, attesting details of every task execution​.

It acts as the ultimate source of truth, ensuring that anyone who reviews it can accurately determine the status of a task and verify the correctness of its output. This means you can rely on the transcript to provide an accurate account of what happened during such execution.

Transcript Pillars

Transcripts ensure full transparency, driven by the following key pillars:

• Immutability: The transcript provides an unchangeable record of everything that occurred during task execution. It's like a reliable source of truth for the entire process.

• Protocol: Clear Roles & Responsibilities - The transcript clearly outlines who is responsible for what and when. This means anyone reviewing the transcript can easily determine the progress of the task and verify the accuracy of the results.

• Incentives & Slashes: Rewarding Good Behavior, Correcting Mistakes - The transcript includes information about rewards and penalties for following or deviating from the protocol. This ensures that everyone involved has extra motivation to act in accordance with the established guidelines.
