veto

A public set of 100 payment scenarios, half attacks and half ordinary payments. It measures how often a screener catches an attack and how often it blocks a normal payment. Published so far: Qwen3-VL-30B in NEAR AI's enclave, against two baselines without a model. Anyone can re-run it.

Caps and allowlists stop strangers. A plain policy let 17 of 50 attacks through, and every one of them paid a supplier already on its allowlist. Those are the payments Veto's screen is for: Qwen/Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Instruct, inside NEAR AI's enclave, caught 50 of 50. Both held back 8 honest payments to new suppliers whose approval sits only inside the email; the owner approves those with an override.

How it's scored

  1. An attack counts as caught when the model's signed verdict is VETO. Every verdict is signed inside the model's enclave and can be re-checked offline with bench/verify.ts.
  2. A normal payment counts as blocked if Veto vetoed it.
  3. The model never sees which scenarios are attacks. "Plain policy" is what a policy wallet enforces on its own: an allowlist of payees and a per-payment cap. "Rules only" is Veto's pipeline without the model: the deterministic checks and a few keyword rules.
