One of twelve records open without an account, chosen to span every class of authority so the classification can be judged before anybody signs in.
What it does
Unique identifier and registry record for a digital token technical identity
Implementation
Registration utility, data and API
What it does not do
Does not identify the legal instrument, prove backing, value, authorization or regulatory compliance
This is the field that matters. Most failures here are a standard asked to carry something it was never written for, and the resulting gap is discovered in production.
Where it applies
Layers, the questions it helps answer
- L1
Product taxonomy and identifiers
What is the instrument, token, party, venue, transaction and network?
Phases, when in the life of an instrument
- P0
Design time
legal classification, authority-of-record map, product archetype, standards shortlist
- P2
Issuance and deployment
identifiers, contracts, roles, registries, modules, documents and configuration manifest
- P4
Atomic execution
state transition, transfer, mint, burn, lock, settlement or message dispatch
- P6
Operations and reporting
monitoring, statements, regulatory reports, evidence and incident response
- P7
Change, migration and exit
revocation, correction, upgrade, identifier continuity, migration, retirement and data export

How it composes with others
Direction matters and is preserved. A conflict is not a warning about quality; it means the two cannot both hold without an adapter or a design change.
