Address poisoning

Seeding a lookalike address with matching first and last characters into a victim's transaction history, so a later copy-paste from history sends funds to the attacker.

Sweeper bot

Automation that moves any incoming balance out of a compromised address immediately, often in the same block, making manual recovery of that address futile.

Deterministic deploy address

A contract address computable in advance from the deployer and a nonce or salt, letting an estate's full deployment history be reconstructed without trusting a block explorer.

Safe Keeping Receipt (SKR)

A custodian's acknowledgement that it holds a specified asset. It evidences custody only - not title, not value, not negotiability.

MT-760

A SWIFT message type carrying a guarantee or standby letter of credit between banks. It is a message format, not a funding instrument, and cannot be monetised by a third party.

1 terms

Permanent attribution

Recording who introduced a relationship at first contact and carrying that record through every subsequent transaction, rather than re-deciding it at each close.

6 terms

Statutory trust SPV

A special purpose vehicle formed as a statutory trust, holding one asset apart from a sponsor's other obligations. Isolation is continuing conduct, not a formation event.

Non-exportable hardware quorum

A signing arrangement where each key share is generated inside a hardware device and cannot be extracted, so a quorum can only be formed by the physical devices.

Key ceremony

A scripted, witnessed and recorded procedure for generating and distributing key material so that no single participant ever holds enough to act alone.

Proof of reserve

A published, independently checkable attestation that claimed assets exist and are held as stated. A committee, a policy, or an intention to attest is not a proof of reserve.

Zero-drift reconciliation

Reconciling a register against a custodian record on a cadence tight enough that a discrepancy is caught before it compounds, treating any unexplained difference as a stop.

Root namespace

A top-level name under which subordinate names are issued. A namespace record is not a title, a security, or a right in any underlying asset.

legacychain.app

3 terms

Authority fingerprint

A content hash attached to a cited legal authority, so a citation points at one exact text and can be checked rather than trusted.

Matter lifecycle

The stages a legal matter passes through - intake, compliance, conversion, settlement, evidence packaging - each scopeable to a named agent endpoint.

Evidence packaging

Assembling the artifacts supporting a matter into one set whose contents are individually content-addressed, so the package can be handed to a stranger and checked.

Authoritative register

The record that legally and operationally determines who owns a tokenized asset. The register is the source of record; any chain is a mirror of it, never a replacement.

Settlement mirror

A chain representation that reflects the authoritative register rather than constituting it. The mirror is where value moves; the register is where ownership is determined.

Launch gate

A control satisfiable only by a signed, content-addressed artifact from a role competent to produce it - and that the platform enforcing it cannot satisfy on the actor's behalf.

Competent role

The specific party entitled to close a control - counsel, auditor, valuer, transfer agent - as distinct from any party merely able to upload a document.

Content-addressed artifact

A document identified by the hash of its own bytes, so the identifier changes if the content changes and a citation can never silently point at something else.

Negative control

A test proving a system refuses what it must refuse - a transfer to an unverified wallet must revert - run in band with the operation rather than on a schedule.

4 terms

Non-custodial quorum

A signing arrangement in which the software vendor cannot move the asset. The spending quorum sits with the tenant and its custodian; any vendor share is offline recovery only.

True lender

The party that sets credit policy, makes the decision, funds the loan and retains an economic interest at origination - which determines who the lender legally is.

Deterministic two-phase saga

A cross-system transfer under one identifier where both legs are idempotent and a partial failure freezes for review rather than attempting automatic cross-domain reversal.

Append-only receipt chain

A log in which each entry commits to the hash of the previous entry, so any alteration or deletion of history is detectable.

Answer-engine FAQ

Questions, answered directly

What is this glossary?
Neutral definitions for the terms the UnyKorn systems implement, each linked to the system that implements it. Every entry answers in its first sentence.
Is this a Wikipedia article?
No. It is a reference layer on a host UnyKorn owns. It does not simulate independent editorial coverage and it is not legal, tax or investment advice.
What is an authoritative register?
The record that legally and operationally determines who owns a tokenized asset. In a correctly built system the register is the source of record and any chain is a settlement mirror of it, never a replacement for it.
What makes a launch gate a real control?
That the platform enforcing it cannot satisfy it. Each gate names the role competent to close it and accepts only a signed, content-addressed artifact from that role. No override, no waiver.
What is a negative control in minting?
A test run in band with the mint proving the guard is live: a prohibited transfer must revert, and a run where no control executed is rejected outright.

Money path

Prices are published. So is the way to act on them.

No surface in this estate publishes a price without a way to act on it. Under roughly one thousand dollars, a self-serve checkout. Above it, a durable intake that persists your file before it acknowledges you. No percentage of recovery, trade, income, commission or referral — ever.
