Claim vs Redemption (Clarifying Roles)
Last updated
The Marketplace supports claim initiation, not redemption.
Claim refers to the on-chain process of converting fungible tokens (such as USG or USS) into allocated metal represented by a Conditional Claim NFT.
Redemption refers exclusively to the off-chain process of withdrawing physical metal from the vault after ownership has been established.
This distinction is intentional and critical:
Claims are protocol-defined, automated and compliance-gated
Redemptions are vault-executed and jurisdictionally governed
