Trust boundary
Every external assertion retains a source. Recording a claim does not make the claim correct or legally sufficient.
Architecture
Novera is EVM-first and chain-agnostic. Protocol primitives, workflow services, evidence, settlement adapters, and network interfaces are intentionally decoupled.
Base is a leading candidate. Hedera remains an optional future adapter.
Layered system
Status labels distinguish current modeling work from planned interfaces and conditional integrations.

Boundary model
Every external assertion retains a source. Recording a claim does not make the claim correct or legally sufficient.
Sensitive source material should remain off-chain. The architecture is oriented toward references, state, provenance, and minimal disclosure.
The settlement adapter isolates core workflow state from a future network choice. No production network is selected.
Public schemas and interfaces are versioned only when they exist. Proposed interfaces remain explicitly labelled.
Network posture
Candidate technologies are evaluated against use-case, security, legal, operational, and institutional requirements.
Primary architectural direction; not a deployed network.
Leading candidate only; not selected or integrated.
Optional future adapter if requirements justify it.
Potential future services; no active integration or partnership.
Evaluate the architecture
Review product status, technical documentation, and the public repository before discussing a pilot.
