We present a mechanism that for a network of participants allows one participant of the network (Alice) to request some data from another participant (Bob) and either receive a response from Bob within a known-in-advance, bounded time b, or receive a proof that at least one edge on the way to Bob was broken within b, or receive a streaming payment proportional to time passed beyond b during which neither was received. This mechanism allows for building downstream applications that require provable responses from other participants, such as decentralized storage solutions, decentralized AI agents, and more.

We present a program synthesis-oriented dataset consisting of human written problem statements and solutions for these problems. The problem statements were collected via crowdsourcing and the program solutions were extracted from human-written solutions in programming competitions, accompanied by input/output examples. We propose using this dataset for the program synthesis tasks aimed for working with real user-generated data. As a baseline we present few models, with the best model achieving 8.8% accuracy, showcasing both the complexity of the dataset and large room for future research.
