Certification
Invoice-bound verification for Gravity records, reports, and issued verification records.
Bitcoin records settlement. Gravity records the examination.
A Bitcoin transaction proves that value moved. It does not preserve the examination of that settlement, the evidence reviewed, the methodology applied, or the findings reached.
Gravity Certification transforms a Bitcoin settlement into an institution-grade verification record through an independently reproducible examination conducted under the Gravity Verification Examination Standard (VES).
Certification is not the sale of a document. It is the performance of a standardized verification examination. The resulting verification record preserves the evidence examined, the methodology applied, the findings reached, and the verification artifacts required for future independent review.
Whether a settlement is reviewed days or years later, another party should be able to understand what was examined, how it was examined, and the findings that were reached. Gravity Certification exists to preserve that examination in a standardized, independently reviewable record.
Certification Deliverables
A completed Gravity Certification package is designed as a governed verification package, not a loose certificate. The issued package is designed to include:
Each issued Gravity Certification package includes integrity information associated with the certified record.
The package is designed to support independent review, verification, and retrieval continuity through the issued certification materials and associated verification records.
What Certification does:
Certification establishes governed verification records for Gravity outputs, operational reports, and issued verification records.
The certification process is designed for situations where operational records may later need to be preserved, independently reviewed, retained, escalated, or verified after the original work is complete.
Certification strengthens the integrity, traceability, and long-term verification posture of a Gravity record beyond a standard exported report alone.
What happens:
What you receive:
- Invoice-bound certification records
- Human-readable certification summaries
- Integrity and certification issued records
- Structured verification records suitable for operational retention and independent review
- Stronger preservation and evidentiary packaging for higher certification tiers
Example use cases:
Operational record preservation, attorney-facing documentation, institutional reporting, dispute escalation, compliance preparation, independently reviewable proof packaging, and long-term archival retention.
Tier differences:
T1 — 25M sats
Certifies one Gravity output or verification record so the client has a preserved invoice-bound verification record showing what was certified, when it was certified, and how its integrity can be checked later.
T2 — 35M sats
Adds a fuller review layer for records that need clearer documentation, stronger packaging, and better human-readable explanation for internal review, dispute preparation, compliance review, or attorney-facing reference.
T3 — 50M sats
Creates the strongest certification package for records that may need long-term retention, escalation, independent review, or institutional reliance. T3 emphasizes archival assurance, package-level integrity, certification materials, and the strongest verification posture Gravity offers.
Select the tier that matches the verification posture required:
Certification establishes governed verification records for Gravity outputs, operational reports, and issued verification records. The certification process is designed for situations where operational records may later need to be preserved, independently reviewed, verified, retained, or referenced with stronger integrity assurances than a standard exported report alone can provide.

After settlement, Gravity finalizes the certification package, activates retrieval, and preserves the verification path. The client can return later with the invoice reference to retrieve, review, and verify the issued record.
Clear retrieval · reliable continuity · verifiable records.
