chain-rag, Cited Retrieval over Blockchain Protocol Docs

Personal, RAG & Retrieval Systems · 2026

A second, independent vertical on the same architecture: cited answers over Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Monero, Polygon, and Cardano protocol docs, plus a router-calibration finding the reliability gates exist to catch.

A second domain

chain-rag rebuilds the Consilium approach on a different domain (blockchain protocol documentation) to check whether the architecture holds up outside the RFC corpus. It does, and the process surfaced a calibration issue.

What’s different

  • A second, independent vertical: cited retrieval across six chains’ protocol docs (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Monero, Polygon, Cardano).
  • The same reliability gates ran against the new corpus. One flagged a router-calibration finding: dense-embedder anchor thresholds need per-corpus tuning.

What it showed

Eight of eight eval checks pass: six per-chain, one cross-chain, one abstention, on a 22-document corpus. The blockchain angle is secondary: the architecture held up on a new corpus, and the gates caught a calibration bug instead of passing again.
