Questions the registry has not resolved

These are explicit canonical gaps, not hidden assumptions.

Policy
  • Global Dollarissuer entity

    Paxos Digital Singapore Pte. Ltd. and Paxos Issuance Europe Oy are now recorded as joint legal issuers. The effective start date of the European issuer role and token-level provenance between the two issuing entities remain unresolved.

  • Global Dollarredemption path

    Direct one-to-one redemption is limited to verified Paxos customers and may be routed through Paxos Digital Singapore or Paxos Issuance Europe. Exact availability by residence, registered Paxos entity, account state, current minimum schedule, and banking route remains variable under the current terms.

  • USDBbridge custody and redemption terms

    DAI bridge redemption is documented, but complete bridge custody, failure, fee, delay, governance, and recovery terms remain unresolved.

  • USDBlegal claim counterparty

    Official protocol documentation establishes USDB mechanics but does not establish a direct legal issuer or corporate claim counterparty.

  • USDByield source and governance

    Historical documentation identifies MakerDAO on-chain T-bill infrastructure as the yield source while allowing future replacement; current allocation, counterparties, rate policy, and governance controls require continuing review.
