This documentation explains the Goldie City protocol design for a public audience.

How to read the docs

If you want a quick, accurate mental model:

1. Overview — what the protocol enforces on-chain vs what is operational/off-chain.
2. Glossary — consistent definitions for “ecosystem”, “issuer”, “roles”, “proof”, and “redemption”. (Optional: Glossary)
3. Architecture — how the modules cooperate and where boundaries sit.
4. Governance & RBAC — multi-tenant isolation and authority boundaries.
5. Compliance / Pricing / Proof / Redemption — the core protocol capabilities.

What this is (and is not)

• This is protocol design documentation: it explains the system’s building blocks and the properties they provide.
• It is not a legal or regulatory opinion. Compliance policy is jurisdiction- and deployment-dependent.
• It does not publish personal data or operational customer specifics.

On-chain vs off-chain (one sentence)

Goldie City keeps identity, custody, and fulfillment off-chain while enforcing non-bypassable rules on-chain for governance, eligibility gating, pricing safety checks, proof records, and redemption audit trails.
