VeritasChain Protocol Conformance Guide v1.0

This repository provides the conformance testing guide and reference example payloads for implementations of the VeritasChain Protocol VCP. It is intended to be used as a self check step before requesting formal VC Certified compliance auditing.

Scope

• How to validate VCP events locally before sending them to VCC
• Checklist for UUID v7, event types, timestamps, and numeric as string rules
• Procedures for verifying hash chains, digital signatures, and Merkle proofs
• End to end tests using the VCP Explorer API search, proof, and certificate endpoints
• Sample payload collections covering common trading and risk scenarios

Main documents

• Conformance Test Guide v1.0 English
  CONFORMANCE_TEST_GUIDE_v1_0_EN.md

Example payload collections

The examples/ directory contains ready to use payloads that represent valid VCP event streams. These files can be used for local testing, SDK development, or as input for automated conformance suites.

• examples/sample_sig_ord_exe_xauusd.jsonl full SIG → ORD → EXE lifecycle
• examples/sample_rej_cxl_case.jsonl risk rejection and cancel scenarios
• examples/sample_risk_snapshot_news_block.json VCP RISK snapshot with news trading block
• examples/sample_gov_ai_decision.json VCP GOV payload for AI driven decisions

Position in the VCP ecosystem

This repository works together with the other VeritasChain Protocol artifacts:

• vcp spec core VeritasChain Protocol specification
• vcp sdk spec language level SDK contracts for TypeScript, Python, and MQL5
• vcp sidecar guide Silver tier sidecar integration for MT4 MT5 and white label platforms
• vcp explorer api Explorer service and verification API
• vcp market intelligence industry and regulatory research supporting VCP adoption

Intended audience

• Engineering teams preparing to integrate VCP in production systems
• SDK maintainers who need a reference for expected behaviour
• Compliance and QA engineers building automated conformance suites
• Organizations planning to apply for VC Certified compliance certification

Implementers are encouraged to run all checks in this guide and to validate their payloads against the example collections before submitting systems for formal VC Certified auditing.
