Solana program-type classifier (Qwen3-8B LoRA)

This is a LoRA adapter for Qwen/Qwen3-8B. It classifies a Solana program into one of 34 types from the static "card" of its deployed bytecode: strings, instruction names, source paths, crates and embedded program IDs, extracted without executing anything. Its main use is recognising token launchpads at deploy time, including newly deployed code it has never seen.

Current version: e8-v13. Trained on the older 85% of dataset v1.3 and evaluated on the newest 15% of deployments, which is the situation a live monitor faces. There it beats a gradient-boosted-tree baseline by +0.18 PR-AUC (see Evaluation). It is research output, not a production detector.

• Earlier versions:
  • tag e4-time-split: trained on dataset v1.1, temperature 1.043;
  • tag e3-family-split: launchpad families held out.
• Files: adapter_model.safetensors and adapter_config.json (the LoRA weights), labels.json (34 types and their code letters), run.json (training settings, calibration temperature), splits/*_ids.txt (the exact program IDs used for training, calibration and testing).

How it answers

The prompt lists the 34 types with one code letter each and ends with Answer:. The model's next-token distribution over the code tokens (" A" … " h") is the type distribution: one forward pass, no generation. Divide the logits by the calibration temperature 1.085 before the softmax.

    return sorted(zip(labels, probs.tolist()), key=lambda x: -x[1])[:5]

probs[labels.index("launchpad")] is the calibrated launchpad probability. A top-type probability below 0.40 is a reasonable "abstain" threshold.

Training

• Data: dataset v1.3, static cards only, type != "unknown".
  • Train: 13,152 programs (362 launchpads), the older 85% by deploy slot minus the clone-split validation.
  • Validation: 1,411 older programs, used only to fit the temperature.
  • The exact IDs are in splits/.
• Method: LoRA r = 16, alpha 32, dropout 0.05 on all attention and MLP projections. 1 epoch (822 steps), learning rate 2e-4 with a cosine schedule and 5% warmup, effective batch 16, bf16, at most 1,536 tokens. The loss is cross-entropy on the answer token only, so the model is never trained to reproduce card text.
• Compute: one NVIDIA L40S for 113 minutes of training.

Evaluation

The newest 2,463 deployments (109 launchpads) were never trained on. Both models used identical rows.

model	launchpad PR-AUC	recall @ precision ≥ 0.9	P / R at 0.5	ECE	type accuracy	type macro-F1
gradient-boosted trees (static)	0.695	0.22	0.71 / 0.51	0.007	0.527	0.434
this adapter	0.879	0.69	0.79 / 0.84	0.008	0.653	0.649

• Significance: a paired bootstrap of the PR-AUC gap gives +0.182, 95% CI [+0.113, +0.252]. The 2,403 programs with no code clone in training give the same result.
• Per-type F1, trees → this adapter:
  • bridge 0.69 → 0.82, stake_pool 0.62 → 0.84, oracle 0.62 → 0.85, perps 0.36 → 0.75;
  • payments_fees 0.35 → 0.63, aggregator 0.29 → 0.53, game 0.55 → 0.76, launchpad 0.70 → 0.76.
  • Still weak: generic_bot (0.22), copy_volume_bot (0.33), launch_bot (0.62).
• Precision-first use: averaging with the trees raises precision at 0.5 to 0.86, at a recall of 0.74.
• Label quality: on the 771 test programs whose label comes from the stronger adjudicator, the owner or a registry and rests on on-chain behaviour, the lead is about half as large: PR-AUC +0.086 [+0.027, +0.151], type accuracy +0.069 [+0.034, +0.106]. The lead is largest on labels from the cheap annotator made from static hints alone.

Reproduce the evaluation

eval/ holds the saved predictions of this adapter and of the trees, the label provenance of every test program, 20 example inputs, and the scripts. python evaluate.py --check recomputes every number above on a CPU in seconds; train_trees.py retrains the trees from the public dataset. See eval/README.md.

Limitations

• Silver labels. Most labels are LLM-agent labels (see the dataset card). Wave-3 bot labels are partly from a cheap annotator only. There is no measured label-error rate yet.
• Bot types from bytecode alone are hard. Generic, copy-volume and launch bots need on-chain behaviour to tell apart.
• Cards are truncated to 1,536 tokens, so very large programs lose middle content.
• Untrusted input. Card text comes from third-party bytecode and may contain adversarial strings. The prompt marks it as data, but treat outputs as leads to review, not verdicts. A launchpad prediction is not a validated deployment.
