FAQ

Is Settld a payment network?

No. Settld is the enforcement and verification layer for economic outcomes. Payment rails are adapters.

Do we need crypto?

No. Rail choice is independent from kernel enforcement semantics.

What does “offline-verifiable” mean?

You can export closepacks and verify signatures/bindings/outcomes without querying Settld servers.

What is Kernel v0 focused on?

Paid capability calls with holdbacks, disputes, deterministic adjustments, replay checks, and closepack verification.

Is this open?

Protocol objects and conformance vectors are open; hosted operational/control-plane features are layered separately.
