# Verification Scope (v1)

v1 focuses on:
- Presence + parsing of artifacts
- On-chain visibility via RPC/node when tooling is available

Future v2 can add:
- Recompute Merkle root from leaves and compare to ROOT.txt
- RFC3161 cryptographic verification using pinned TSA cert chain
- Verify ETH calldata contains root bytes
- Decode BTC OP_RETURN and confirm payload matches root
