Selected Classification Notes

Service Provision excludes the penalty side of participation. Where a token both grants the right to contribute and imposes slashable performance risk, both Service Provision and Collateral may be present. If holders stake, lock, or deposit tokens only to receive distributions, without providing work or assuming slashable performance risk, the functionality is Value Distribution rather than Service Provision or Collateral.

• SV-02 Data Availability — assigned only where the chain or system is used as a data availability layer by other independent execution domains. A base layer does not qualify solely because it publishes its own transaction data for its own execution.
• G-02 Technical Parameter Control — does not cover changes whose primary purpose is to alter monetary flows. Those belong under G-01 Economic Design/Parameter Control.
• G-06 Product/Service Line Decisions — does not cover tuning existing parameters, risk limits, or asset whitelists for an existing product. Those belong under the relevant parameter or permissioning subtype.
• P-02 General Medium of Exchange — requires real counterparty acceptance. It is not inferred from market capitalisation, exchange listings, or trading volume alone.
• VD-04 Inflation Entitlement — applies only where newly minted units are received without ongoing service provision or slashable performance risk. Where issuance compensates validators, sequencers, or other service providers, it is classified under Service Provision and/or Collateral instead.
