TESTED

The claim

CAIN is not a bank, custodian or regulator; escrow governs conditions only, units are SYNTHETIC, and no insurance or underwriting exists

Level TESTED is how far the evidence goes: TESTED means a test suite exercised it, LIVE means it was observed on the hosted system. Nothing is claimed beyond its level.

Your browser downloads the bundle's SHA256SUMS manifest and the file(s) behind this page, hashes them with SHA-256 locally (WebCrypto), and compares. A match shows the record you are reading is the published one; it does not by itself prove who published it (see the signed claims registry and the bundle verifier for that).

Limitations of this bundle

• An in-process TESTED library; not hosted, not a deployed network. The directory and marketplace are local registries, not a public exchange.
• CAIN is NOT a bank, custodian or financial regulator. Escrow and settlement govern CONDITIONS only; units are SYNTHETIC and there is no payment rail or real money.
• CAIN-MSDP is an experimental CAIN protocol; there is no external adoption and it is not an industry standard.
• A2A/MCP integration is exercised via reference adapters; no external protocol support is claimed.
• Reputation, performance and quality graphs are evidence views built from in-process events; there are no real reviews, customers or market data.
• Dispute and arbitration are machine infrastructure layers; they are not legal advice, not arbitration and not a substitute for courts.
• The governance warranty covers governance conditions only; it is not universal safety and no insurance or underwriting exists.
• Moat and product maps are technical foundations only; no market moat, revenue or adoption is claimed.
• Mutation self-testing runs each mutant against the bench subset that exercises the mutated component.
• Scale rows reuse the E33 synthetic in-process benchmark; the exchange layer adds a 200-service discovery row.
• No third party has independently verified anything in this bundle.
