[Achieving 15 Top Zero-Day Vulnerabilities: Consensus Protocol Debugging Framework Built by 0G Lab in Collaboration with NUS, Peking University, and BUPT Teams]
Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on June 11, the automated testing framework Agora, proposed by research teams from 0G Labs in collaboration with the National University of Singapore (NUS), Peking University, and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), was selected for ICML 2026. This framework is the first to deeply integrate domain knowledge of distributed systems with a multi-agent collaborative architecture for automated vulnerability detection in production-grade consensus protocols.
According to the paper, Agora has uncovered 15 previously unknown deep logic vulnerabilities (Deep Bugs) in mainstream consensus protocols such as Raft, EPaxos, HotStuff, and BullShark. These vulnerabilities involve critical security issues like execution divergence, monotonicity violations, topology flaws, and signature verification errors. Research findings indicate that under the same testing scenarios, mainstream large models like GPT-5.2 and Claude 4.5 failed to detect these protocol-level vulnerabilities.
Agora employs hypothesis-driven testing and a multi-agent collaboration mechanism to achieve in-depth security analysis of complex distributed systems by automatically generating attack scenarios, executing tests, and dynamically refining processes. Beyond consensus protocols, this framework can also be extended to areas such as database concurrency control, operating system kernels, and Web3 smart contract auditing in the future.
