Replay of round 1
One round of the memory arm, step by step: what it read from Walrus Memory, what it decided to buy and why, the payment on Sui, how the answer was graded, and the belief version it wrote back.
Memory arm: 4 paid answers for 0.050 USDC, 1 refusal, 0 wrong answers accepted. Blind arm, same round: 2 paid answers for 0.020 USDC, 0 wrong answers accepted.
1Read memory
Before buying anything, the agent recalls its beliefs from Walrus Memory.
Nothing yet: this is the first round, so memory holds no belief and every seller starts untrusted. Each one has to pass a canary first.
2Decide
The trust policy is plain code over those beliefs: below the 0.6 floor a seller gets only canaries; in a cooldown it gets nothing; above the floor, the cheapest good seller wins, with spot checks that thin out as trust grows. If a checked answer fails, it tries the next seller once in the same round.

4Grade
Its own check compares the answer with chain truth read through Tatum: balances for address facts, the deepest native USDC/SUI pool for market prices. Answers bought on trust are not checked by the agent. The audit is the experiment's scoring, which checks every answer; the agent never sees it.

Each purchase becomes a verdict and a new version of that seller's belief, both written to Walrus Memory. The next round starts by reading these.
