Ward Conformance

Certification for the default-resolution layer institutions need to trust.

Ward Conformance verifies that a tokenized credit product implements deterministic default resolution, preserves the signer boundary, and can produce a reviewable receipt.

Mainnet production certifications will appear after the external audit path and mainnet launch readiness are complete.

What conformance covers

Technical default-resolution readiness.

Chain primitive maps correctly into the Ward conformance engine
Nine deterministic checks are executed before settlement instructions are produced
Policy reference, vault binding, claimant ownership, and pool solvency are reviewable
Settlement packet remains unsigned by Ward
Receipt can be exported for engineering, risk, and compliance review

What it does not cover

No financial guarantee, no custody promise.

Credit quality of the borrower or institution
Investment performance or repayment guarantee
Regulatory approval in any jurisdiction
Settlement actions after the institution signs
Third-party audit replacement before mainnet launch

Pre-mainnet assurance path

Ward Conformance is the bridge between a working integration and institutional confidence.

The next unlock is third-party review, production pilots, and mainnet-ready certification once the underlying lending primitives are live.
