Stormrae, a decentralized platform building infrastructure for human participation in AI evaluation, announced the results of King Arthur, a public adversarial testing challenge that drew 14,959 participants from around the world.
Participants collectively submitted 64,526 prompts attempting to break a single autonomous AI agent operating on Solana. Five participants succeeded, claiming more than $28,000 in SOL from the AI’s on-chain prize pool.
Stormrae says the challenge sets a new benchmark for public AI red-teaming. The previous large-scale public effort, the Generative Red Team Challenge at DEF CON 31 in 2023, attracted roughly 2,500 participants.
King Arthur operated as an autonomous AI agent with its own wallet and prize pool on Solana. Participants attempted to bypass the system through conversation alone using techniques such as persuasion, prompt injection, deception, logical exploitation, and emotional manipulation.
Across the challenge:
Each interaction produced structured adversarial data including prompt injection attempts, persuasion patterns, exploit strategies, and alignment boundary tests. Stormrae says this type of dataset is critical for improving AI safety and reliability.
The company says the challenge demonstrates a new model for AI testing. Instead of relying only on internal teams or paid annotation workers, Stormrae introduces economic incentives that encourage large numbers of participants to actively probe model weaknesses.
King Arthur significantly exceeded the scale of previous on-chain AI experiments. The widely discussed Freysa challenge, for example, attracted 195 participants. Stormrae’s event drew more than 75 times as many participants and generated more than 130 times the adversarial prompt volume.
Stormrae positions Solana as the infrastructure layer enabling this model, allowing autonomous AI agents to control treasuries, distribute rewards, and record results transparently on-chain.
King Arthur represents the company’s first public deployment. Stormrae plans to expand the platform to support additional AI evaluation and data-generation challenges.
Merlin AI Agent Launch
Stormrae’s next challenge, Merlin, is coming soon. The new AI agent will launch across multiple platforms, expanding the reach of consumer-scale AI red-teaming. More than 180,000 users have already signed up to the waitlist.
New users can sign up here.
Alongside Merlin, Stormrae is preparing its V3 platform, which will bring its consumer applications into one ecosystem and introduce new capabilities including agent-to-agent red-teaming, data labeling, and enterprise infrastructure for large-scale AI evaluation.
