LP-0023: Program Registry — Verified Builds for LEZ Programs

[fryorcraken]

Drafts LP-0023, an on-chain program registry for LEZ with verified builds.

Fixes logos-co/ecosystem#196

Number choice

LP-0023. LP-0000–0017 are merged; 0018–0020 are in open PRs (#90, #75, #71, #36, #83, #82); 0021–0022 are in #122.

Shape

Modelled on the existing prior art — jimmy-claw/spelbook (Rust core, on-chain SPEL program, CLI, FFI) and jimmy-claw/logos-lez-registry-module (Qt6 Logos Core module) — extended to cover what that prototype does not yet do.

Working in the prior art: register, author-gated update, lookup by program ID, IDL upload/download to Logos Storage, CLI, browse/detail/register GUI.

Not implemented there, and therefore where this prize puts the work:

• Enumeration and search — lez_registry_list returns only a count, and get_by_name is a hardcoded stub; both are marked "requires an off-chain indexer in v1".
• Claim authorisation — registration is currently first-come-first-claim, so anyone can claim a program ID they do not control and permanently own the entry wallets will display.
• Source verification — absent entirely; no reproducible builds, no source URL, no hash matching.
• Real timestamps — registered_at is hardcoded to 0 (zkVM guests have no clock).
• End-to-end tests — the e2e_tests crate is a placeholder.

Adoption criteria

Follow the LP-0021/LP-0022 pattern (#122): 5 third-party integrations, 75 stars, 100 registered programs from ≥40 distinct authors, sustained ≥2 months at ≥20/month, 30 Discord + 30 Twitter/X testimonials, same anti-Sybil framing. 20 entries carrying verified source claims is counted separately — registering metadata is cheap, so the count that signals trustworthiness deserves its own line.

Open points for review

• Prize pool left as $X per template.
• Reproducible builds are a hard dependency on the LEZ toolchain. If LEZ program builds are not yet deterministic, the verification criteria are unsatisfiable through no fault of a submitter. Flagged in a Risks and Dependencies section; should be confirmed before this leaves Draft, and may warrant a dependencies: entry. dependencies: is currently [].
• Relationship to the prior art. Written as a competitive prize that credits and may build on the existing repos. If it would be better treated as productionizing that specific work, the framing should change.
• The issue's open questions (permissionless vs publisher-gated verification, on-chain vs off-chain attestations, where verified source lives) are deliberately left to the submitter in a Design Decisions section rather than pre-decided.
