Playground
Adjust the sliders to see how backpressure routing responds to changing demand and agent availability. Payments flow to agents with spare capacity. Overloaded agents trigger rerouting. Saturated networks push overflow to escrow.
Agents slider
Controls the number of active agents in the pool. Fewer agents means each one receives more traffic and hits capacity faster. Watch rerouting increase as you reduce agent count under high demand.
Demand slider
Controls how fast payment requests arrive. At 100%, requests arrive every frame. At low demand, agents drain their capacity between requests. Push demand high with few agents to see escrow activate.
What the numbers mean
Routed counts payments that reached an agent. Rerouted counts payments that changed target mid-flight because the original agent was over 85% capacity. Escrowed counts payments sent to the escrow buffer because all agents were saturated.
The real protocol runs on Base Sepolia with 22 deployed contracts. This simulation uses the same routing logic: payments flow proportional to spare capacity, verified by dual-signed completion receipts.
