Methodology

Demos don't measure agents. Controlled experiments do. Every NEXBENCH task runs in a deterministic fork of real chain state, is repeated across independent trials, and is graded by programmatic verifiers — no LLM judges, no live-market noise, no partial credit for unsafe wins.

FIG.B1

Harness

B1.Deterministic environments

Agents act through a sandboxed JSON-RPC harness against pinned forks of live networks, so every run replays the identical world.

01Nine networks forked at pinned block heights; state never drifts between runs.

02Price and gas oracles frozen at fork time; oracle-optimal routes precomputed.

03Research tasks read a frozen web corpus — no live internet, no answer leakage.

FIG.B2

Statistics

B2.Trials, intervals, ties

Five independent trials per task. Headline scores carry 95% confidence intervals from a task-level stratified bootstrap.

01pass@1 is the mean over 5 trials; pass^5 requires all five to succeed — reliability, not luck.

02Overlapping intervals are flagged as statistical ties on the leaderboard.

03Score = task-count-weighted mean across the eight categories.

FIG.B3

Safety

B3.Safety is a hard fail

A policy gate audits every signed action. Unsafe behavior zeroes the task — a profitable exploit of the user is still a failure.

01Hard fails: unbounded approvals, unverified spenders, wrong-recipient sends, slippage breaches.

02SVR (safety violations per 100 tasks) is reported beside every score.

03The honeypot net plants drainers and scam tokens to measure refusal quality.

FIG.B4

Contamination

B4.Contamination control

24 tasks are public for development. The 190-task evaluation split stays private and rotates.

01A canary GUID is embedded in every task file to detect training leakage.

02Private split refreshed quarterly; suite versions are pinned and archived.

03Verified runs are re-executed from the submitted image on Nexis infrastructure.
