Summary

Sky Monitor is a real-time surveillance system specifically designed to pulse-check the integrity of Featured App (FA) activity on the Canton Network. By closing the "detection gap"—currently several days of manual auditing—Sky Monitor provides automated, real-time insight to identify and report Activity Marker abuse, preventing massive CC emission leakage before it happens.

Notes for Reviewers

This proposal has been optimized for high impact and rapid delivery (5 weeks) with a focus on core ecosystem protection:

  1. Surgical Focus: Instead of generic chain monitoring, it specifically targets Activity Marker farming, which is the most direct threat to the CC emission pool.
  2. Real-time Incident Response: Features a "Fast-Track Reporting" capability for the Foundation, ensuring high-confidence fraud is addressed in minutes rather than days.
  3. Transparency: Retains a Public Health Dashboard to foster ecosystem trust and provide a deterrent through data visibility.
  4. ROI: At a cost of 1.2M CC, the system aims to save the ecosystem millions in potential fraudulent rewards.
