  Derived from the provenance-io/provenance repository (Cosmos SDK app), the saved
  protobuf definitions (grpc/*.proto), and the provenance-io GitHub org (ibc-go,
  cosmos-sdk forks, cometbft usage).
standards:
- id: cosmos-sdk
  conforms: true
  evidence: Application built on the Cosmos SDK app framework; provenance modules follow Cosmos module conventions.
- id: cometbft-tendermint
  conforms: true
  evidence: Proof-of-stake BFT consensus via CometBFT (Tendermint); Tendermint RPC exposed at rpc.provenance.io.
- id: protobuf
  conforms: true
  evidence: All module state, queries, and transactions defined in protobuf (79 first-party .proto files).
- id: grpc
  conforms: true
  evidence: Query and Msg services defined as gRPC services in the module protos.
- id: grpc-gateway-rest
  conforms: true
  evidence: Public REST (LCD) gateway at api.provenance.io generated from the gRPC services.
- id: ibc
  conforms: true
  evidence: Inter-Blockchain Communication via ibc-go; provenance ibchooks and ibcratelimit modules present.
- id: cosmwasm
  conforms: true
  evidence: Smart-contract support via wasmd/CosmWasm with provwasm bindings to custom modules.
- id: oauth2
  conforms: false
  evidence: Public chain; read queries are unauthenticated, transactions are cryptographically signed (secp256k1), not OAuth.
- id: rfc9457-problem-details
  conforms: false
  evidence: Errors follow Cosmos SDK / gRPC status codes, not application/problem+json.
- id: openapi
  conforms: false
  evidence: API surface is defined in protobuf/gRPC, not OpenAPI.
