C1 · Base Consensus
Settlement substrate that provides total ordering, finality, and data availability for W3 attestations.
C1 captures the requirements we place on any settlement option—own L1, Ethereum, rollup, or DA layer integration. This stub will grow into detailed specs for ordering, finality, slashing hooks, and the interface that C2 uses to post events.
Minimum Capabilities
Total ordering — Canonical sequence of workflow + validator events.
Finality — Probabilistic or deterministic guarantees that attestations cannot be reversed.
State availability — Anyone can retrieve workflow registries and attestation proofs.
Validator accountability — Hooks for stake tracking and slashing (future).
Implementation Tracks
Own L1 blockchain (native token, custom validators).
Ethereum settlement contracts (leverage existing validators).
Rollup / DA-only approaches (fraud or validity proofs).
