A Sovereign Node is a person
whose verification is sealed.
The node surface is specified and scheduled behind the attestation gateway. This page carries its doctrine in advance: what a Sovereign Node is, what it is not, and why it cannot be bought.
A non-transferable civic identity bound to one holder, carrying verification-derived standing that grows through confirmed acts: record verification, primary-source confirmation, milestone witness.
Not an account. Not a token. Not transferable, purchasable, or inheritable. Standing accrues to the person through verified acts and decays without renewal.
Standing is derived from the sealed record, not from payment. A purchase creates no verified acts; a verified act cannot be delegated.
Specified. Scheduled behind the attestation gateway. The doctrine above is the binding description; onboarding opens when the gateway's registry tools go live.
