Default Settlement Verifier MCP Server

DefaultVerifier — SAR Verification Infrastructure

SAR (Settlement Attestation Receipt) is a verification protocol that produces cryptographically signed receipts proving whether an AI agent completed a task according to its specification.

DefaultVerifier is a live SAR verifier implementation with a public receipt registry, metrics API, and explorer.

If it matters—Verify it.

Notes

• receipt_v0_1 is the signed canonical receipt payload used by this implementation
• when counterparty is present, it is included in signature scope and in receipt_id derivation
• legacy receipts (sar-prod-ed25519-01 and sar-prod-ed25519-02) remain valid and do not include counterparty in signature scope
• this behavior is implemented and publicly verifiable via the live receipt and key endpoints

---

SAR Compatibility: This implementation follows SAR verification semantics, with an extended signed payload when counterparty is present.

Demo

Run a full end-to-end verification in ~2 minutes: DEMO.md

Quick Start

1. Create a receipt

curl -X POST https://defaultverifier.com/settlement-witness
-H 'content-type: application/json'
-d '{ "task_id":"quickstart-001", "spec":{"goal":"demo"}, "output":{"goal":"demo"}, "counterparty":"0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef12345678" }'

2. Fetch the receipt

curl https://defaultverifier.com/settlement-witness/receipt/<receipt_id>

Note: use the receipt_id inside receipt_v0_1

3. Verify locally (Node)

cd examples/node-verify node verify.js receipt.json jwks.json

Examples

Node.js verification example: examples/node-verify/

Python verification example: examples/verify_receipt_python.py

Usage: python3 examples/verify_receipt_python.py <receipt_id>

API Endpoints

Create Receipt

POST /settlement-witness

Submits a task verification request and returns a signed SAR receipt.

---

Retrieve Receipt

GET /settlement-witness/receipt/{receipt_id}

Note: Use the receipt_id inside receipt_v0_1 (sha256:...) for retrieval.

Returns a previously issued receipt.

---

Wallet Receipt Explorer

GET /settlement-witness/receipts?wallet={address}

Returns recent receipts associated with a wallet address.

The public explorer is available at:

https://defaultverifier.com/explorer

This interface allows browsing recent receipts and wallet-indexed delivery history.
