Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Suitable for a controlled merchant integration pilot.

Why
A controlled live checkout and independent implementation work exist, while verifier defects and signed-object ambiguity limit confidence in broader interoperability.
Next
Validate the supported implementation's signatures, replay protection and cross-implementation behavior, then test consent, failure recovery and disputes before expansion.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Signed-object canonicalization lacks adequate public interoperability guidance.
  • The public sample verifier has an unresolved independently reported conformance defect.
  • Cross-network KYA interoperability remains planned rather than demonstrated.
  • Production security and completion-rate evidence remains limited.
  • Consumer mandate, spending limits and dispute responsibility require explicit handling.
  • Distributed replay protection and failure recovery require deployment-specific testing.
