Protocol Documentation & FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions: PTVS v1.0 Protocol

Technical insights on cryptographic proof of physical assets, ERC-3643/ONCHAINID integrations, and academic persistence.


1. What is the Prop Trust Verified Standard (PTVS v1.0)?

PTVS v1.0 is an open-source framework designed to solve the Physical Oracle Problem in Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization. It provides a standardized cryptographic pipeline to ingest physical property inspections, non-destructive testing (NDT), and sworn judicial expert reports directly into permissioned smart contracts.

2. How does PTVS v1.0 solve the Physical Oracle Problem?

Smart contracts cannot natively evaluate physical integrity or legal encumbrances. PTVS v1.0 bridges this gap by tying physical audits to sworn judicial experts (holding civil/penal liability). Off-chain data is compiled into SHA-256 cryptographic payloads and permanently referenced via persistent DOIs, producing verifiable claims for on-chain consumption.

3. Is PTVS v1.0 compatible with the ERC-3643 token standard?

Yes. PTVS v1.0 is specifically designed for interoperability with ERC-3643 permissioned token ecosystems. Audit cryptographic payloads are formatted as Verifiable Claims issued to an asset’s ONCHAINID identity, allowing compliance smart contracts to verify physical backing prior to token transfer execution.

4. Where are the official academic papers and specifications registered?

The protocol is documented under open-science frameworks with persistent identifiers:
CERN / Zenodo DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21719175
SSRN Elsevier Abstract: Abstract ID 7245361
Source Code & Specifications: Publicly hosted on GitHub.

5. Is PTVS v1.0 free and open-source to integrate?

Yes. As a non-profit standard maintained by the Forensics Oracle Organization, PTVS v1.0 is open-source. Developers, protocols, and institutional asset issuers can freely implement the verification architecture and smart contract schemas.

6. What is the relation between Forensics Oracle Organization and Prop Trust Verified?

Forensics Oracle Organization (forensics-oracle.org) governs the protocol, maintains open specifications, and publishes open-science research. Prop Trust Verified (proptrustverified.com) acts as an execution entity offering professional on-site engineering audits, NDT field testing, and sworn judicial expert witness reports in accordance with PTVS v1.0.
