What Verity Protocol is, and what it isn't.

Verity Protocol is a public, permissionless registry for real-world assets. Anyone with an Ethereum wallet can list an asset — land, real estate, crops, livestock, equipment, commodities, collectibles, intellectual property, or anything else — by signing a canonical message from that wallet. The signature and the details are stored on our servers as an immutable record of the claim. Registrants may optionally tokenize the asset on the Portal, which deploys an ERC-20 and a trading pool to Base or Robinhood Chain (the registrant's choice at launch time).

Every listing is a claim made by the wallet that signed it. Nothing more. No entity vouches for the truth of any claim; Verity Protocol operates the platform, not the assets.

• Not investment advice. Registry entries are signed claims about physical assets, not securities offerings. Tokens launched on the Portal are permissionless ERC-20s issued by the registrant and traded on an open pool; neither Verity Protocol nor its operators endorse, back, custody, or make any representation about them. Trade at your own risk.
• Not verification. Verity Protocol does not verify that an asset exists, that a registrant owns it, or that any documentation is authentic. The registry is the platform layer; the signed claim is the artifact. Readers must evaluate each listing on its own merits.
• Not custody. Verity Protocol never holds, stores, moves, or has legal access to the underlying asset. Ownership of the real-world asset remains outside the platform — with the registrant, or with whomever the applicable off-chain legal framework (deeds, titles, contracts) says owns it.
• Not a marketplace or exchange. Verity Protocol does not match buyers with sellers, does not escrow funds, and does not clear transactions. The signed claim transfer feature moves the registry's current-holder pointer between wallets; it has no legal effect on off-chain ownership on its own.
• Not legal advice. Signing a Verity claim does not replace the deed, contract, license, or other legal artifact that governs the underlying asset in your jurisdiction. If legal title is important to you, use the appropriate legal process in addition to any Verity registration.

• The information you sign is accurate to the best of your knowledge, and you have the right to publish it. If you do not own or manage the asset you claim, do not register it.
• The wallet you sign with is under your control. Anyone with access to your wallet's private key can post updates, initiate transfers, and act as the registrant. Guard your keys accordingly.
• Your registration is public and permanent. Signed messages, endorsements, disputes, and transfers cannot be edited or erased once recorded. Publish accordingly.
• Documentation URLs you attach are public. Do not link private files; do not link content whose disclosure would harm you or others.

• Every listing is a self-attestation. Verity Protocol does not underwrite, insure, or guarantee any listing.
• Endorsements, verifier badges, evidence tiers (L0–L4), the AI plausibility review, and the conflict-detection signal are informational aids — not proof of truth. Even a listing at tier L4 with several verifier endorsements and a green AI review can be wrong.
• If you plan to act on a listing — buy, lease, insure, finance, or otherwise rely on it — do your own verification against the underlying asset and its off-chain legal framework.
• Verity Protocol assumes no liability for the accuracy or completeness of any registered claim, and no liability for actions you take in reliance on the registry.

Wallets can publicly declare themselves as professional verifiers on the registry — appraiser, surveyor, notary, inspector, auditor, legal counsel. Verifier declarations are permissionless and are not vetted by Verity Protocol. Readers evaluate each verifier by the proof URL they publish. False or misleading verifier claims may be disputed by any wallet.

Every on-registry action — endorsement, dispute, verifier declaration, transfer initiate, transfer accept, transfer reject, transfer cancel, anchor recording — requires a signed message from the acting wallet. Signatures are stored and verified by the platform, but the platform does not adjudicate between competing signed claims.

The optional on-chain anchoring feature stores the hash of a completed transfer's signatures in the VerityAnchor contract on the currently-selected network. This provides independent verifiability without granting the platform any privileged role over the transfer.

• Listings and their metadata are public. Wallet addresses, timestamps, and signed messages appear in the public registry and, where anchored or tokenized, on the selected chain (Base or Robinhood).
• Documentation you attach is stored on our servers and served publicly.
• Partnership inquiries submitted via the /partners form are stored privately and not shared publicly.
• We do not collect or resell personal information beyond what you voluntarily provide via the registry or the partners form. We do use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights (or equivalent) to measure aggregate site usage.

Verity Protocol does not moderate the content of signed claims. Where a listing violates applicable law or the rights of a third party, Verity Protocol reserves the right to hide the listing from public view; the underlying signed record and any tokens launched from it remain on-chain and outside the platform's control.

Registering an asset is free. Tokenizing on the Portal costs whatever gas the selected chain (Base or Robinhood) charges to deploy the token contract and seed its pool, plus any initial liquidity you choose to supply. Verity Protocol does not currently charge platform fees. Certain roles (verifiers, institutional API customers) may in the future involve paid subscriptions or contracts, which would be documented and agreed separately.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Verity Protocol, its operators, and its contributors are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the registry, from any listed claim being inaccurate or disputed, from any action or inaction of any registrant, endorser, disputer, verifier, or holder, or from any interruption or termination of the service. Use is at your own risk.
