What is and is not player-verifiable#
The current MVP exposes rules and results, but not enough cryptographic evidence to reproduce how an outcome was selected.
What a player can inspect#
- The published 20 paylines and scaled paytable.
- Symbol behavior, free-spin rules, feature tiers, collection rules, and regular cap.
- The 92% regular and 2% progressive targets.
- The returned grid and frame timeline for a settled spin.
- Line wins, SCATTER and BONUS counts, awarded features, payout, and balance change.
- Recent server ledger entries for the active session.
- Whether retrying the same request ID returns the stored outcome.
- Public simulation progressive state, including visible value, bounds, version, and hit history.
- On-chain mainnet transaction effects when the relevant public signature is available.
These observations can reveal an arithmetic or disclosure mismatch.
What a player cannot prove today#
A player cannot currently prove:
- which random bytes were selected before a spin;
- that the server committed to those bytes before receiving the wager;
- that a hidden progressive trigger was fixed before contributions approached it;
- that an operator could not regenerate or discard an outcome;
- that the deployed server exactly matches the reviewed repository source;
- that all historical spin records are complete and unaltered; or
- that the theoretical return has received independent certification.
Missing proof material#
The MVP has no player-facing:
- server-seed commitment hash;
- client-selected seed;
- monotonically increasing fairness nonce;
- retired seed reveal;
- versioned seed-to-random-byte algorithm;
- unbiased range-conversion specification;
- result digest;
- progressive-trigger commitment;
- downloadable transcript; or
- one-click verifier.
The server ledger is application-controlled SQL state, not a public or tamper-evident fairness proof.
Claim boundary#
Afterlife must be described as server-authoritative and not yet player-verifiably provably fair. “Uses cryptographic randomness,” “replay-safe,” and “published math” each describe a useful but narrower property. None is a substitute for a complete verification system and independent review.
No current documentation should claim that Afterlife is provably fair, audited, certified, or guaranteed fair.
