Publish a certificate

Your connected wallet signs and pays for the transaction that writes a new certificate into the registry on Stellar testnet.

What this form actually does

  • No money moves and nothing is locked. Publishing records a claimed reserve as a number on the certificate. Your wallet is debited for the network fee and nothing else.
  • You bond this wallet as the agent. The registry authenticates the agent as well as the operator, so an agent has to consent to being bonded. A browser wallet holds one key, so the only certificate it can publish unaided is one naming itself. Bonding a different agent needs that agent's signature in the same transaction.
  • You can fund the reserve afterwards — and you have to. Reserves are held per certificate and deposit authenticates against that certificate's operator, so this is your money to commit and nobody else can commit it for you. An auditor cannot attest a certificate whose reserve is not already funded.
  • The certificate lands as Pending. Unfunded, and unattested until a registered auditor bonds slashable capital behind it. Pending is not cover, and a counterparty should not treat it as any.

This is the protocol's current state on testnet, stated plainly rather than implied. Until it is funded and attested, a certificate published here is a public, verifiable claim — nothing more.

Get this wallet ready

Everything here runs on Stellar testnet. The XLM and the USDC are test assets with no value, handed out by this site so a stranger can walk the whole flow without owning anything first.

  1. Fund the account

    A Stellar address does nothing until an account exists for it. Friendbot creates one with test XLM, which pays the network fees for everything that follows.

    Connect a wallet in the header to set it up.

  2. Open a USDC trustline

    Your wallet signs this one. A trustline is your account agreeing to hold the asset; nobody can open one on your behalf, and a faucet that could would have authority over your account.

  3. Get test USDC

    Reserves, stakes and challenge bonds are all posted in USDC. Publishing a certificate needs none of it — funding one needs all of it.

Certificate terms

This wallet. The registry authenticates the agent as well as the operator, and a browser wallet holds one key — so it can only bond itself. Naming a different agent needs that agent's signature in the same transaction.

The ceiling: the maximum loss this certificate would cover.

Recorded on the certificate as a claim. No money moves.

After this, the certificate binds nothing.
