Ownership Verification

The current version of the Credible Layer requires that the address returned by the owner() function of a contract is the only address that can register that contract and add assertions to it. This is a temporary implementation that will be expanded in future versions.

​

Current Implementation

The Credible Layer expects contracts to implement the owner() function, typically through the Ownable pattern. Here’s an example of the expected interface:

interface IOwnable {
    function owner() external view returns (address);
}

When testing or developing with the Credible Layer, ensure your contracts implement this interface to enable project registration and assertion management.

​

Future Development

We are actively researching alternative ownership verification methods that will:

• Support different ownership patterns
• Enable seamless ownership transfers
• Maintain security requirements
• Allow for multisig integration

These improvements will be implemented in future versions of the Credible Layer.
