Customer-controlled authorisation
Cardinal does not request seed phrases or private keys. The customer or its authorised wallet provider remains responsible for transaction approval.
Cardinal Trust Centre
Clear controls. Honest boundaries.
This page explains how Cardinal approaches transaction authorisation, evidence, operational policy and protected settlement—and identifies which capabilities are live, controlled pilot or testnet.
Control principles
Designed for review before irreversible settlement.
Explainable operational decisions
ALLOW, REVIEW and BLOCK outcomes are accompanied by the relevant evidence and matched business rule available to the workflow.
Evidence provenance and freshness
The product is designed to record where evidence came from, when it was observed and whether it was live, cached or demonstrative.
Controlled failure behaviour
Where a policy requires evidence that is unavailable, the intended safe outcome is REVIEW rather than an unsupported approval.
Protected settlement options
Higher-risk transactions can be routed into SafeSend review timing or conditional Escrow workflows on supported environments.
Documented outcome
Payment details, evidence, policy reasoning, authorised action and settlement status can be retained as one decision record.
Capability status
No production claim without production evidence.
Cardinal separates live information, controlled demonstrations and testnet settlement so customers and investors can evaluate the product accurately.
