Before choosing a network, describe the asset, the participants and the intended transaction lifecycle. Ask counsel to establish the legal and contractual requirements.
This worksheet supports the engineering discussion. It does not determine which licences or approvals a service needs.
Settlement network
List the required participants, methods and data access. Compare public and permissioned options against those requirements.
Record transaction fees, operating dependencies and failure modes. If a bridge is required, include its controls and recovery process in the review.
Custody and signing
Identify who holds keys, who can request a signature and which approvals are required. Test access removal, key recovery and a failed signing provider.
Keep the custody contract and application permissions consistent. A user interface restriction is insufficient if the signing service permits a broader action.
Confirmation and reconciliation
Define what the application treats as submitted, confirmed and complete. Agree how technical confirmation relates to the contractual settlement definition.
Test delays and conflicting status reports. Connect each transfer to its accounting record using a stable identifier.
Recovery and handover
Name the operator for each component. Rehearse provider failure, unavailable records and a stalled transaction. Document what can be retried and what requires investigation.
Keep decisions and open questions in the project plan. The tokenization service explains how Binari scopes this work.
