Name: JIL Sovereign Settlement Engine
Brand: JIL Sovereign Technologies, Inc.

Question 1

What is JIL Sovereign?

Accepted Answer

JIL Sovereign is The Payment Integrity Network - the infrastructure layer beneath payments that decides whether a payment should happen before it happens and proves every outcome after settlement. JIL runs a 332 check Verdict Engine across 16 signal categories covering Fraud, Waste, Error, and Abuse (FWEA) in under 2 seconds per transaction. It is the only unified FWEA coverage engine in production. JIL is a Delaware-incorporated technology company, not a memecoin, exchange, or DeFi protocol.

Question 2

What is FWEA and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

FWEA stands for Fraud + Waste + Error + Abuse. It is the four-pillar framework JIL uses to classify every payment exposure. Fraud is deliberate deception (pig butchering, BEC, deepfake authorization). Waste is legitimate payments that shouldn't have happened (duplicate claims, overpayments, upcoding). Error is unintentional mistakes (IBAN checksum failures, routing errors). Abuse is policy-technicality violations (structuring, cross-jurisdiction smurfing, sanctions evasion via hub routing). Combined FWEA exposure for most institutions is 3-8 percent of annual payment volume. JIL is the only attestation engine that covers all four pillars as a unified framework.

Question 3

How many checks does the JIL Verdict Engine run?

Accepted Answer

332 checks across 16 signal categories: 69 FWEA checks covering Identity and Counterparty Integrity, Payment Rail-Specific Fraud, Regulatory Compliance Flags, Transaction Behavior and Velocity, Settlement Instruction Integrity, Healthcare and Government Rails, Macro and Systemic Flags, Cross-Jurisdiction Typology Correlation, and Emerging Threat Intelligence, plus 42 WIE wallet intelligence signals across 6 additional categories (111 universal core), plus 37 LOB-specific extension checks across 6 additional categories (Trade Finance, Tax Compliance, Deep Sanctions, Cyber Integrity, Data Residency, ESG Sustainability) for a total of 332 checks. All 148 run in parallel, producing a deterministic YES/NO/REVIEW verdict in under 2 seconds per transaction.

Question 4

What is the JIL Retroactive Payment Audit?

Accepted Answer

Retroactive Payment Audit is JIL's service for running 4+ years of historical payments through the full 332 check Verdict Engine. It produces a FWEA Exposure Report with quantified dollar exposure, root cause attribution, remediation recommendations, and regulator-ready audit artifacts (SHA-256 sealed verdict records with optional ZKP proof). Pricing is 1 basis point per historical transaction - an 80 percent discount versus real-time pricing - or an Outcome-Indexed alternative at 2-5 bps per attested record for buyers who prefer pay-as-you-attest billing. JIL never takes contingency on recovered funds; the client uses the sealed evidence to pursue any downstream recovery through their own counsel, SIU, or regulator referral. Example exposure surfaced for a mid-size bank processing 50 million transactions per year over 4 years (200 million transactions): $2 million audit cost, approximately $60 million in FWEA findings at typical 3 percent exposure rate, $12-21 million in recoverable exposure documented for the client's downstream action.

Question 5

How does JIL custody work?

Accepted Answer

JIL uses Shamir-based MPC key splitting. On keys created through the user key-generation ceremony the user holds one shard and JIL holds two; on the default service key JIL holds all three. The signing engine reassembles the key in server memory before signing, so JIL is technically able to move user funds. Key management includes biometric Proof-of-Humanity verification and post-quantum key encapsulation using ML-KEM. JIL should not be described as a self-custody or non-custodial wallet.

Question 6

What makes JIL different from Fireblocks or other custody platforms?

Accepted Answer

Unlike Ledger (hardware-only), JIL combines MPC key splitting with $250K automatic protection coverage, post-quantum cryptography, and built-in compliance evaluation. JIL's signing engine reassembles the key in server memory to sign, so like Fireblocks it is technically able to sign for you. What differs is the protection coverage, the post-quantum stack and the compliance evaluation that runs before value moves.

Question 7

How fast is JIL settlement?

Accepted Answer

JIL achieves sub-2-second deterministic finality with no probabilistic confirmation windows. Every settlement produces a cryptographic finality receipt attested by a hybrid-signed independent signing quorum across 13 compliance jurisdictions.

Question 8

Is JIL post-quantum secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. JIL deploys ML-DSA-65 signatures and ML-KEM key encapsulation in production - not on a roadmap. These NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms protect against future quantum computing threats.

Question 9

What is JIL Money Passport?

Accepted Answer

JIL Money Passport (announced Coming Q3 2026, pending IRS 4506-C IVES participant approval) is a wallet-resident financial credential that proves income, net worth, source of funds, and accredited-investor status to any counterparty without exposing the underlying documents. Source-pulled from the IRS via 4506-C IVES and from financial institutions via Plaid. Cryptographically signed with Ed25519 + ML-DSA-65 hybrid signatures. Anchored to CourtChain. Wrapped under FRE 902(14) self-authentication. Four product lines on one credential: AccreditedID for SEC 506(c) accreditation, ProofOfFunds for real estate and M&A, SourceOfFunds for AML and immigration, IncomeVerify Non-QM for self-employed lending. Consumer tiers: Free, $9.95/month Plus, $29.95/month Pro. Bundled free with JIL Wallet Tier 2+.

Question 10

Why does JIL AccreditedID not require a CPA letter for SEC 506(c) verification?

Accepted Answer

SEC Rule 506(c) requires 'reasonable steps to verify' but does not require any specific verification method or third-party professional sign-off. The non-exclusive safe harbors at 17 CFR 230.506(c)(2)(ii) explicitly include three alternatives: review of IRS forms (income pathway), bank/brokerage statements with credit report (net worth pathway), AND written confirmation from a licensed CPA, attorney, RIA, or broker-dealer. These are alternatives, not stacking requirements. AccreditedID Income satisfies the IRS-form-review safe harbor with cryptographic chain of custody to the IRS itself via the 4506-C IVES program. AccreditedID Net Worth satisfies the bank-statement safe harbor via institution-level Plaid pulls. The AccreditedID Pro tier preserves the professional pathway for genuine edge cases such as foreign nationals, complex trusts, and entity accreditation.

Question 11

How much does JIL AccreditedID cost compared to traditional CPA-letter accredited-investor verification?

Accepted Answer

AccreditedID Income is $9.95 with IRS direct via IVES; AccreditedID Net Worth is $19.95 with Plaid institution-level pulls; AccreditedID Pro is $79 for complex cases requiring a licensed-professional wrap. Traditional CPA or attorney letter verification costs $50-$200 per investor and takes 2-7 days. AccreditedID delivers a Court-Ready Evidence Bundle in under 5 minutes, cryptographically signed with Ed25519 and ML-DSA-65 hybrid signatures, anchored to CourtChain, and wrapped under FRE 902(14) self-authentication. The credential is wallet-resident with 90-day freshness, reusable across multiple raises without re-running the source pull. Issuer API pricing for embedded 506(c) verification is $2,500/year base plus $4.95 per verification.

Question 12

What is Attested Convergent Finality?

Accepted Answer

Attested Convergent Finality (ACF) is JIL Sovereign's approach to a shared financial record: closed operation, open verification. JIL operates every L1 validator. They are named, and one company operates every node and answers for the result; there are no anonymous participants, and JIL does not present them as independent third parties. Any institution entitled to the record can verify JIL's work on its own hardware, continuously, and can publish a contradiction unilaterally without JIL's cooperation. Verification sits outside the transaction path, so a customer can check JIL without being able to halt JIL. Customers hold their own signed records, so history cannot be rewritten behind them. Finality is deterministic and single block, with no reorganisations. Signatures are post-quantum, ML-DSA-65 under FIPS 204. When the system cannot be certain, it stops rather than proceeding. The L1 sits within a portfolio of 157 patent claims, 97 filed to date. The architectural comparable set is SWIFT, DTCC, Partior and Visa's authorization network, not public networks.

Question 13

Who operates the L1 validators?

Accepted Answer

JIL Sovereign Technologies, Inc. operates every L1 validator. They are named, and one company operates every node and answers for the result. There are no anonymous participants and no third-party operators. JIL does not describe them as independent, because they are not. Accountability here comes from naming the operator, not from hiding it behind a crowd.

Question 14

What happens if something goes wrong?

Accepted Answer

The system stops rather than finalising a result it is not certain of. That is a deliberate trade. A refusal to proceed is visible, alertable and investigable; a wrong result recorded as final is none of those things. For a financial record, correctness outranks availability, so uncertainty produces a halt rather than a guess.

Question 15

How is Attested Convergent Finality different from a permissioned or consortium chain?

Accepted Answer

A consortium spreads operation across several member firms, which spreads accountability with it: when a result is wrong, no single party owns it, and any change needs a committee. ACF concentrates operation in one accountable company and pushes verification outward to every member instead. You get one party to hold responsible and the standing ability to check that party yourself.
