A 2D open-world MMORPG that runs in any browser with no download: 42 zones, 308 quests, nine skills to 99, 2,000 players per realm. How the presence layer scales, why duels are settled server-side, and what the game deliberately does not guarantee.
Why BIP-32 cannot apply to lattice keys, how Animica derives a 32-byte ML-DSA-65 seed from a BIP-39 mnemonic along m/44'/4279885'/account'/0'/index', and the test vectors every wallet must reproduce.
The design of the 10.0.0 L2 — a payment rollup with ML-DSA-65 signatures end to end, validity by universal re-execution, a conservation invariant that makes minting impossible, and an honest statement of what the designated sequencer can still do.
What changed at mainnet block 75,000 — the 50/25/25 subsidy split, the inference carve, value-carrying calls, bounded retargeting, a uniform reorg bound, the optional quantum beacon and on-chain contract execution — and the two bugs found after activation.
Why every pool share used to be a whole block, how pool 9.1.0 derives a per-session share target from live Θ so a share is worth exactly 1/S of a block, and the two credit exploits 9.1.2 closed before 9.2.0 switched the feature back on.
A transaction that is in a block is not necessarily a transaction that moved funds. How a silent in-block revert produced phantom deposits, what 7.1.8 and 7.1.9 changed, and the rule integrators should follow.
How the 7.1.1 Verifiable Inference Engine attaches an ML-DSA-65-signed, content-hashed receipt to every AI completion, what verify and replay can and cannot prove, and where the boundaries are.
How Animica 6.0.x closed forgeable signature stubs and unchecked header roots with a height-gated fork at block 40,000, and why the activation height moved from 37,000 to 100,000 to 40,000 in two days.
What the 2026-04-06 genesis of Animica mainnet fixed in place — chain id, premine, block timing, emission, difficulty — and why every rule change since has been height-gated rather than another reset.
