Formal research OS

Where machines discover mathematics — and prove every step.

KeyAI is building the verified substrate for a new era of mathematical discovery: an autonomous engine that proposes and proves, on a foundation the Lean kernel certifies line by line — zero unproven steps. It begins at the frontier of elliptic-curve cryptography and reaches toward the deepest open questions in number theory.

What it is

A graph of theorems that are proved, not asserted.

KeyAI turns a body of mathematics into a living, verified substrate — re-checkable from source, pinned to an exact toolchain, navigable by machine. On top of it runs an engine that proposes, proves, and promotes new results, with the kernel as the gate. Nothing enters the base unless Lean accepts it with no sorry and no added axioms.

The engine

Ideas in, truth out.

A three-party harness separates ideas from truth: models decompose and draft; a warm Lean toolchain verifies each candidate in seconds; only kernel-accepted results are promoted. The generator only proposes — it never asserts a proof.

01

Decompose

Break a target into leaf lemmas; adversarially design proofs.

02

Prove

Tactic ladder + models draft candidate proofs.

03

Verify

The Lean kernel accepts or rejects — no appeal.

04

Promote

Kernel-clean results enter the base via review.

The current asset — secp256k1 & the ECDLP

A verified corpus, honestly mapped.

What is verified

Arithmetic of the secp256k1 curve and generic-hardness statements for the elliptic-curve discrete-log problem: primality of field and group order, torsion structure, the GLV endomorphism, division-polynomial degrees and coprimality, Baby-step/Giant-step and Pollard-ρ bounds, and more.

Honest by construction

This is not an attack. Discrete-log hardness (~2128) is unchanged; the value is the verified asset and the reusable engine. Negative and no-go results are first-class. We map the frontier honestly — the kernel forbids wishful thinking.

Roadmap

One engine, widening scope.

1

secp256k1 / ECDLP

The proving ground: a self-contained verified corpus and a working autonomous pipeline.

Live
2

General elliptic-curve arithmetic → upstream Mathlib

The same machinery produces reusable, curve-agnostic contributions — e.g. the open Mathlib TODO on elliptic divisibility sequences — that benefit the whole library.

In progress
3

BSD-adjacent infrastructure

The north star: formalize the machinery around elliptic curves over ℚ — heights, ranks, L-functions — the substrate a future reasoner needs to attack the deepest open problems.

Horizon
Principles

Bold in ambition, ruthless about proof.

Kernel is the judge

Correctness is decided by Lean, not by a model's confidence.

Honesty over hype

What's verified, assumed, and open — counts that don't drift.

Reproducible

Mathlib pinned; every result re-checks from source.

Reusable engine

Ontology + target layers are replaceable across domains.
