The Helical Protocol (Reference Implementation)

PATENT PENDING > Application No: 63/952,240 (USPTO)
Filing Date: December 31, 2025
Inventor: Deepak T. Mohan

Overview

The Helical Protocol is a Layer 0 validation primitive designed to eliminate Computational Denial of Service (cDoS) attacks on decentralized ledgers.

Unlike the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which uses a "Reactive Security" model (Execute-then-Bill), Helical employs Stateless Structural Validation. It utilizes a specialized Executive Control Module (ECM) to perform static analysis on the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) of a transaction before memory is allocated.

Core Primitives

1. Executive Control Module (ECM): Validates code topology ($O(N)$) instead of execution steps ($O(K)$).
2. Efficiency Sequencer: A "Knapsack Optimization" engine that orders transactions by Efficiency Density ($Fee / Complexity$) rather than raw gas price.
3. Speculative JIT: A pipeline that Just-In-Time compiles verified transactions during mempool residency, utilizing idle CPU cycles to maximize throughput.

The Problem

Standard blockchains suffer from the "Halting Problem Gap." Validators must expend resources to determine if a transaction is malicious. A wealthy attacker can flood the network with infinite loops, forcing nodes to waste electricity processing junk.

The Solution

Helical shifts the paradigm:

• Input: Smart Contract Bytecode + Complexity Stake.
• Process: 1. Parse AST to calculate Cyclomatic Complexity ($\chi$) and Recursion Depth ($\delta$). 2. Verify Stake >= Cost(Structure). 3. If Valid: JIT Compile & Queue. 4. If Invalid: Atomic Rejection (Zero Net Loss).

Installation & Usage

This repository contains a Python reference implementation of the core logic claimed in the patent.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+

Running the Simulation

The helical_demo.py script simulates a mempool under attack by a "Rich Hacker" (High Fee, Bad Code) vs. a "Smart Optimizer" (Low Fee, Good Code).
