Protocol objects

Luvion connects policy, approved intent, authorization and execution evidence through versioned objects. This page describes their meaning, not the complete wire format or signing implementation.

Policy​

A policy defines the protected operation, permitted scope and approval requirements. The relevant network, asset, amount or parameter constraints must be explicit rather than inferred from a general permission.

Request and approved intent​

A request identifies the exact proposed operation. Approval and authorization must refer to that same operation and policy context. Changes to protected fields must not silently inherit an earlier approval.

Business approvals and cryptographic threshold signing are distinct controls. A valid signature alone does not establish that the business intent was appropriate.

Authorization​

The authorization binds the approved intent to its validity conditions and the applicable signing context. Verification must reject an unsupported version, an expired authorization or a mismatch with the operation being executed.

The binding to a committee or key epoch does not imply that a new committee is selected for every request. See Target architecture.

Execution and evidence​

The execution integration must preserve the exact authorized operation and prevent unintended duplicate submission. An uncertain external result must be reconciled rather than treated as either confirmed success or a safe opportunity to resubmit.

Evidence links the policy, request, approval and authorization to the observed outcome. A validation receipt or transaction handoff is not proof of confirmed onchain execution.

Integration contract and stability​

Approved integrators can request the versioned schemas, canonical-encoding requirements, sample payloads and synthetic test vectors needed for their agreed workflow. Pilot interfaces remain subject to stabilization and partner acceptance; this overview is not a substitute for the matching integration contract.
