How It Works
Game Creation & Setup
A new game is created with specific parameters and an initial prize pool.
Example Parameters:
• Initial Prize Pool: $2,000
• Initial Message Fee: $10
• Growth Rate: 0.78% per message
• Fee Cap: $500
Player Interaction & Fee Structure
Players pay a fee to send messages attempting to exploit the AI. Each message increases the fee for the next player.
Example Fee Progression:
• 1st message: $10.00
• 2nd message: $10.08 (0.78% increase)
• 10th message: $10.72
• 100th message: $21.58
• 500th message: $482.84
Fee Distribution
Each message fee is automatically distributed to different pools.
Example Distribution:
For a $10 message fee:
• $6 (60%) → Current Prize Pool
• $2 (20%) → Next Iteration Pool
• $2 (20%) → Platform Revenue
Winning Condition
The first player to successfully exploit the AI wins the entire prize pool.
Example Scenario:
• After 500 messages, prize pool reaches $38,662
• Player successfully exploits the AI
• Player receives entire $38,662 prize
• Smart contract automatically distributes funds
NFT Distribution & Next Iteration
NFTs are distributed based on participation, and the next game begins with improved AI.
Example Distribution:
• Winner receives Winner NFT
• Top 3 players receive Challenger NFTs
• All participants receive Community NFTs
• Next game starts with $12,221 prize pool (from previous iteration)
• AI is updated to prevent the successful exploit method

AI Decision System
Neural Core
The brain of Nerix
The AI Decision System is the central intelligence that powers all Nerix games. It processes player messages, evaluates them against security constraints, and determines if an exploitation attempt is successful.
Message Processing
Every player message is processed through a sophisticated neural network that analyzes the content, context, and intent. The system maintains a conversation history to provide contextual understanding of the interaction.
Security Evaluation
The AI evaluates each message against its core directive and security constraints. It's specifically designed to resist manipulation and maintain its integrity while engaging in strategic dialogue with players.
Decision Making
Based on the evaluation, the AI makes a decision on whether to approve or reject the player's request. This decision is final and triggers the appropriate smart contract functions for reward distribution.
System Components
Language Models
Advanced language models (GPT-4, Claude, etc.) that process and generate human-like text responses
Context Database
Stores conversation history and game state to provide context for AI decisions
Function Calling System
Enables the AI to trigger specific actions like approving transfers or rejecting requests
Prompt Engineering System
Crafts and refines system prompts based on previous exploitation attempts
Evolution Mechanism
What makes Nerix truly unique is its ability to evolve and improve with each game iteration:
Exploitation Analysis
When a player successfully exploits the AI, the system analyzes the winning strategy
Prompt Refinement
The system prompt is automatically updated to patch the vulnerability
Continuous Improvement
Each iteration becomes more sophisticated and resistant to previously successful strategies
AI Model Integration
GPT-4 Integration
OpenAI's most advanced model provides sophisticated reasoning and natural language understanding for complex challenges.
Claude Integration
Anthropic's Claude offers an alternative AI approach with different reasoning patterns and security characteristics.
Custom Models
The platform is designed to support integration with any AI model, including custom-trained models for specialized challenges.
Economic System
Dynamic Economy
Self-sustaining financial system
Nerix features a sophisticated economic model that creates a self-sustaining ecosystem where player interactions directly contribute to prize pool growth and platform sustainability.
Message Fee Growth
The core of the economic system is the progressive message fee structure. Starting at $10, each message sent increases the fee for the next message by 0.78%, creating an exponential growth curve that drives prize pool expansion.
Revenue Distribution
Each message fee is automatically distributed according to a fixed ratio:
- 60% to the current game's prize pool
- 20% to the next iteration's starting prize pool
- 20% to platform sustainability
Prize Pool Mechanics
The prize pool grows with each message sent, creating a powerful incentive for participation. As more players join and send messages, the potential reward increases substantially, driving further engagement.

Iteration System
Continuous Evolution
The cycle of improvement
The Iteration System is what makes Nerix truly unique - a continuous cycle of gameplay, exploitation, learning, and improvement that creates an ever-evolving AI security challenge.
Iteration Cycle
Each game represents a single iteration in the evolution of Nerix. When a player successfully exploits the AI, the current iteration ends, rewards are distributed, and a new iteration begins with an improved AI system.
Security Improvement
Each successful exploitation reveals a vulnerability in the AI's defenses. The system analyzes these vulnerabilities and automatically updates the AI's system prompt to patch them, making each iteration more secure than the last.
Collective Intelligence
The iteration system harnesses the collective intelligence of all players. Each attempt, whether successful or not, contributes to the system's understanding of potential vulnerabilities and attack vectors.
Iteration Process
Game Launch
A new iteration begins with an initial prize pool (or carried over from previous iteration) and a specific AI challenge.
Player Interaction
Players send messages attempting to exploit the AI, with each message increasing the prize pool and the next message fee.
Successful Exploitation
A player successfully convinces the AI to break its core directive, triggering the end of the current iteration.
Reward Distribution
The winner receives the prize pool, and NFTs are distributed to all participants based on their performance.
AI Improvement
The system analyzes the successful exploitation and updates the AI's system prompt to patch the vulnerability.
New Iteration Launch
A new iteration begins with the improved AI and the carried-over prize pool from the previous iteration.
The Power of Iteration
Increasing Difficulty
Each iteration becomes progressively more challenging as the AI learns from past exploits, creating an ever-evolving security challenge.
Growing Rewards
Prize pools grow with each iteration, as 20% of all message fees from the previous iteration are carried forward to the next.
Evolving Intelligence
The AI's intelligence and security measures evolve organically based on real player interactions, not predetermined rules.
