Wallets are often explained through issuance and verification. High-assurance use needs lawful reliance, source authority, identifiers and remedy.

Canonical records are the state’s lawful memory: the records that determine which facts public services may recognise, rely on, correct and defend.

Business Wallets can become economic infrastructure when they reduce the unit cost of cross-border trust through verifiable business attributes, lawful authority, mandate gating and enforceable safeguards.

Wallet and exchange ecosystems move fees from paper attestations into priced trust transactions. Governments should fund DPI as always-on capability and price DPF lifecycle events only when they are attributable, auditable and reversible.
