Tapeout.pro Finds the Circuit That Cheats the Test
An independent verifier for TapeOut Protocol circuits on BNB Chain, checking designs against every possible input rather than 256 fixed test vectors.
Field notes
The project compares submitted circuits with an on-chain reference implementation across the full input space, rather than trusting TapeOut’s 256 fixed public vectors. Its reverse-engineering notes specify variable-length netlist records, with 7-byte NAND and 4-byte LATCH entries, and describe reference designs stored in SSTORE2 data contracts. The page says the verifier produces an exact counterexample input when a circuit diverges.
