I sealed an AI exam generator with drand timelock encryption and stored it on Arweave, with the exact models, prompts and scoring rules frozen beforehand. When the beacon round arrived, it unlocked the generator and seeded the questions, and four open-weight models answered them on a CPU. On fresh questions Falcon3-1B scored 47/80, against 21/80 on public GSM8K. One transaction ID lets anyone rebuild the questions and re-score the answers.
