Validation
Devices, receipts, operators, and event types are checked against local authority state before they affect trusted workflows.
TrustMASTER NODE AUTHORITY LAYER
The trust engine for local operational authority.
MNAL defines how devices, operators, releases, policy states, and settlement decisions are validated inside a controlled local authority boundary.
Approvals
Supervisors can approve release, export, publication, quarantine reversal, or settlement movement through deliberate action.
ControlQuarantine
Risky devices, questionable receipts, or policy exceptions can be isolated without stopping the whole local operation.
HoldSettlement
Settlement-ready evidence can be held, reviewed, approved, and released without confusing proof preparation with payment execution.
ReleasePolicy
Local rules define who may create, review, approve, release, or reject operational evidence under constrained conditions.
RulesTrust
Authority remains anchored to the master node rather than being implied by transport, dashboards, or outside availability.
AnchorArchitecture fit
MNAL gives the ecosystem its controlled centre.
ACL can route messages. The Proof Layer can preserve evidence. Luma XIP can standardise receipts. MNAL decides what is trusted, what is held, and what is allowed to leave the local boundary.
