Glossary
Key concepts separating access, documents and funds.
Organization, member, role
An organization (Tenant) is an isolated workspace. A Membership represents a person within it. A role is a set of explicit permissions. Matching emails in different organizations do not mean a shared account.
Wallet, address, Account
A Wallet organizes resources. An Address is an exact public network address. An Account binds a source and address with the relevant evidence. A control proof does not establish economic ownership or current spending authority.
Invoice, Payout, Payment
An Invoice sets receiving terms. A Payout fixes planned disbursements. Payment verifies receipt evidence. Document confirmation, transfer observation and accounting posting are different events.
Intent, Attempt, hash and request key
An Intent stores immutable transfer terms. An Attempt records execution work. A hash identifies the signed network transaction. A request key recognizes a repeat of the same request; a new key is not recovery of the old one.
Book, journal, hold, compensation
A Book defines the accounting context and asset. A Journal contains immutable balanced postings. A Hold reserves funds for an operation. Compensation adds an opposite entry while preserving history.
Version, revision, step-up
A current version protects edits from overwriting someone else’s changes. A revision records a specific historical rule or outcome. Step-up is fresh device verification before a protected action.
