Claims register

The POTS claims register

Published 2026-08-25

Every outward statement we make about the POTS ecosystem maps to a row below. Each one names its public source, and several carry a note on how the wording must be hedged. Underneath is the harder half: the things we decline to say, and why.

We publish both halves because a verification standard that only ever shows its conclusions is indistinguishable from confidence. The refusals are the part you can actually hold us to.

What we assert

Sourced to public protocol documentation. “Hedged wording required” means the underlying source states something more strongly than we are willing to repeat.

• C1Verified

  Pots Market uses non-custodial, EIP-712-signed orders — the platform routes, it never holds.

  Sources: potsdefi.com · docs.polymarket.com — placing orders

• C2Verified

  Trades access Polymarket's shared CLOB liquidity.

  Off-chain matching, on-chain settlement. “Shared CLOB” is POTS's own phrasing; we attribute it when quoting.

• C3Verified — hedged wording required

  IBS has a collateral floor backed by protocol-owned LP. It is not a stablecoin peg.

  We say the documentation states a designed collateral floor, subject to market risk. We never restate it as our own guarantee, and we do not use the word “peg” — the documentation itself disclaims it.

• C4Verified

  The Smart Treasury has four layers: V_LP, T_RBS, T_ST and T_PBM, each with a documented role.

• C5Verified

  Treasury movements require multi-signature approval — 25 of 50 signers — and no single actor can act unilaterally, including the founding team.

  Two independent public sources. The strongest-sourced governance claim in the set.

• C6Verified — hedged wording required

  Protocol revenue routes into the Smart Treasury, and a buy-and-burn mechanism for IBS exists.

  Described as a designed mechanism only. We never imply a resulting price effect.

• C7Verified — hedged wording required

  POTS documentation states the protocol has been audited, with reports publicly available.

  We cite that audits are stated and reports are stated public. We do not characterise audit findings — we have not reviewed them, and neither has the reader.

  Sources: docs.pots.money — security

• C8Verified

  Governance voting weight uses vIBS, a non-transferable credential minted by staking IBS.

  vIBS is the voting credential. It is not the same as the $POTS token, and we never conflate the two.

What we do not assert

These are categories, stated deliberately without repeating the specific figures involved. Restating an unsourced number in order to dispute it still puts the number into circulation.

• That EIP-712 signing prevents front-running.

  EIP-712 is a typed-data signing standard establishing order integrity and authorship. No source we accept supports an anti-front-running property, and we have found material elsewhere that makes this claim incorrectly.

• Any promised or guaranteed yield, return, price appreciation, or floor outcome.

  Excluded regardless of how a source words it. Where documentation uses guarantee language, we still say “designed mechanism”, “documentation states”, and “subject to market risk”.

• Exact treasury balances, participant counts, performance milestones, or audit conclusions.

  Not retrievable from sources we accept. A figure circulating in promotional material is not a sourced figure, and publishing one to dispute it would only spread it further.

• Terms we cannot define from documentation.

  Where an acronym or mechanism appears in marketing material without a definition in the documentation, we do not use it until it is defined in a source we accept.

• That live parameters are fixed.

  Rates, fees and terms change — some by governance vote. We point to the application at the moment of action rather than printing a number that goes stale.

How to use this

If you see a statement about POTS attributed to TOBB that isn’t supported by a row above, treat it as not ours. If you think a row is wrong, that is worth telling us — a register nobody challenges isn’t doing its job.

Parameters that change — rates, fees, terms, and anything set by governance vote — are deliberately absent. Read those in the application at the moment they matter, not from a page that was written earlier.

Educational content only — nothing here is financial advice. Decentralized systems carry market and technical risk. Verify before you interact.
