Exact terms become exact bytes.
Any change produces a different proposal ID and digest. There is no “close enough” docket hiding behind a screenshot.
CAT Authority · v2 draftDevnet/off-chain pilot
Two wallets.
One exact record.
Wallet A files precise terms. Wallet B reviews the identical bytes. If both sign, anyone can verify which wallet keys authorized that public docket—without moving a single lamport.
Each wallet signs its own role.
A proposer signature cannot masquerade as the counterparty. The two proofs authorize the same proposal through different domain-separated messages.
Verification is not enforcement.
CAT records authorization. It does not identify a human, hold funds, arbitrate a dispute, guarantee performance or provide legal advice.

Propose the docket.
Then sign only those bytes.
Nothing is stored until Wallet A signs. Every filed term, wallet address and signature is public. Dockets expire after 24 hours.

Review every line. Then countersign.
The counterparty wallet must match the address above. Connecting is free. Signing this message is not a transaction and cannot move funds.

Public verification proves the filed wallet keys signed these bytes. It does not prove who controlled those keys, whether the terms are lawful, or whether either party performed them.
Authority lifecycle
A small protocol with hard edges.
The pilot intentionally stops before payments, dispatch, dispute resolution or permanent chain anchoring.
- 01Propose
Wallets, terms, evidence window and 24-hour expiry become one canonical proposal.
- 02Wallet A signs
The proposer authorizes its role-bound message. Only then is the public docket stored.
- 03Wallet B reviews
The share page exposes the exact terms, digest and first proof before any prompt appears.
- 04Wallet B signs
The matching counterparty authorizes the same proposal through its own role-bound message.
- 05Anyone verifies
The public endpoint recomputes the content ID, digest, roles, signatures and expiry.
Separate experimental module · simulator live
CAT Exchange is on the evidence desk.
The v0.1 simulator applies exact payer, recipient, amount, reference, timing, confirmation and replay checks to generated evidence. It creates no wallet prompt or transaction. JudgeCat never holds funds, commands delivery or decides a dispute.
