Network Participation
Status: Planned
Network Participation
Section titled “Network Participation”OPTEROM is intended to be more than a feature of its own business websites. The network is designed to help independent organizations and applications use a common business identity and evidence model.
Businesses
Section titled “Businesses”Companies can establish a verifiable presence, specify supported contact or transaction capabilities, and use authorized representatives for business interactions.
Being included in a national company database is not the same as joining the network. Participation and authority should be explicit.
Independent applications
Section titled “Independent applications”Accounting products, procurement tools, company websites, industry platforms and AI agents can use business verification and transaction interfaces within their own products.
The first integration goal is to verify a company-authorized signed business action independently of any first-party OPTEROM website.
Evidence issuers
Section titled “Evidence issuers”A company may issue an attributable product statement; an auditor may publish an inspection observation; a logistics participant may issue a handover event. Their claims remain distinguishable by issuer, source and evidence class.
An issuer’s authentic signature is not a guarantee that the claim is correct. Independent corroboration and corrections belong in the provenance model.
Service participation
Section titled “Service participation”Additional network roles may provide useful business-network services and verifiable work. The relevant service contract determines participation and settlement.
The usual company or software-integration experience must remain straightforward and must not require purchasing or handling a cryptocurrency.
