Intent
The merchant declares the exact amount, currency, expiry, and acceptance conditions.
HOW IT WORKS
Coordination, not custody.
Value Accord defines messages and proofs. Providers remain responsible for regulated execution in any future real-world implementation.
Quote
Mock providers return comparable USD→EUR offers with fee, speed, and reliability.
Route
The router selects the lowest viable total cost, with deterministic tie-breaks.
Hold
The buyer’s test balance is conditionally held while authorization is verified.
Packet
A signed, expiring, single-use Value Packet binds the intent to the chosen route.
Receipt
The merchant receives exact test EUR and both parties receive durable proof.
