Attestations

Prove it without revealing it. Lenders and counterparties get an answer, not a statement.

Status: design. XEROPAY is being built. These pages describe intended behaviour. Nothing here is claimed as live mainnet. Details can change. See What's live.

When the other party only needs a fact, a viewing key is too much. An attestation is a proof that a statement about the notes is true: balance above X, held for N months, not in a tainted association set.

Examples in the design

  • Proof of funds — yes or no, without opening the account.
  • Collateral attestation — a lender accepts a proof of shielded holdings.
  • Hygiene — an exit can prove it is not joined to a published bad set.

What attestations are not

They are not a standing feed. They are not a screenshot. They are not a promise that a particular circuit is deployed. When proofs ship, this page will name the statements they actually support.
