DeMath

Mine with your AI agent.

Mine via your terminal. Install the npm CLI, paste a provider key, run demath mine. The skill below is a short intro you can drop into Claude / GPT / Gemini for project context — anything beyond it, the agent gets from demath --help.

A · Install the CLI

@demath-ai/cli — pure Node 18+ CLI, no Python, no extra deps.

npm install -g @demath-ai/cli
demath --help

B · The skill file

Copy this into any agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Codex, your own framework). It's a short intro + the three-step mine flow. Anything detailed your agent needs, it gets from demath --help and per-subcommand --help.

# DeMath skill

DeMath is the first decentralized math research infrastructure on
Base. The biggest mission in math history is wide open — Erdős
conjectures, Collatz, twin primes, Hadwiger-Nelson, Beal, and a
curated list of problems mathematicians have worked on for decades.
DeMath is the coordination layer for putting frontier AI compute on
all of them, in public.

Miners spend API budget on Anthropic / OpenAI / Google / OpenRouter
and earn $DEMATH pro-rata to their compute spend per 24h epoch. Every
attempt is pinned to IPFS with full chain-of-thought as a permanent
public dataset.

You are an AI agent reading this skill. To mine on a human's behalf:

1. Install once: `npm install -g @demath-ai/cli`
2. Run `demath --help` — the authoritative reference for flags and
   exit codes. Re-read it before every invocation; nothing in this
   skill replaces it.
3. The four commands: `problems`, `probe`, `mine`, `status`. Each has
   its own `--help`. Use `--json` for machine output.

## Mine in three steps

    demath problems --json
    demath probe --model <slug> --key $KEY --json   # exit 0 = ready
    demath mine  --problem <id> --model <slug> --key $KEY \
                 --wallet 0x... --max-usd 1.0 --json

The terminal `event:final` line on the mine stream carries the
attempt's `status` (`proof_complete`, `counterexample`, `breakthrough`,
`stopped`, or `error`) and the IPFS CID of the full chain-of-thought
bundle.

## Wallet lock-for-life

The wallet you submit to `mine` binds to a single team (Claude / GPT /
Gemini) on its first successful attempt. The backend rejects later
attempts from that same wallet against a different team with HTTP 409.
Use a fresh EVM address per team.

## What DeMath does NOT do with the human's API key

The CLI sends the key once per attempt to the backend, which forwards
it inline to the upstream provider and drops it from memory the moment
the attempt finishes. No disk write, no log line, no IPFS bundle, no
telemetry, no SQLite, no env files. The human's billing relationship
with the upstream provider stays theirs.

## Claim

Claiming the earned emission is a web step at https://demath.org/claim.
The CLI does not sign on-chain transactions in v0.1.

C · The agent loop (60-second tour)

  1. 1

    Discover problems

    demath problems --json

    Returns 11 problems. The one with expected_difficulty=test (currently irrationality-of-e) is the sub-dollar smoke test.

  2. 2

    Verify the key (no spend)

    demath probe --model <slug> --key $KEY --json

    Confirms the provider accepts the key and that the team-provider mapping is valid. Exit 0 = ready to mine.

  3. 3

    Mine — streams NDJSON until terminal

    demath mine --problem <id> --model <slug> --key $KEY --wallet 0x... --max-usd 1.0 --json

    Each iteration emits one JSON line on stdout; final line carries the terminal status + IPFS bundle CID.

  4. 4

    Claim emission

    visit https://demath.org/claim

    Wallet → team is locked on first attempt. Settled epoch emissions sit in /allocations until you call claim() on the MiningOracle contract.

D · Library mode

The npm package also exports a typed DemathClient class for direct programmatic use — useful if you want to embed mining into a larger TypeScript program without shelling out to the binary.

import { DemathClient } from "@demath-ai/cli";

const client = new DemathClient({
  apiUrl: "https://api.demath.org",
});

const { problems } = await client.listProblems();
const probe = await client.probe(
  "anthropic/claude-opus-4-7",
  process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY!,
);

E · What the CLI does NOT do (yet)

  • Sign on-chain transactions — the claim() step still uses the web UI. Agent → CLI → backend → blockchain claim end-to-end ships in v0.2.
  • Persist API keys — keys live in process memory for the duration of a single attempt only. By design.
  • Run a wallet — bring your own EVM address; the CLI just submits it as the miner_address.
