VERIFIED SERVICES
Pay for what was delivered.
Five markets prove delivery five different ways, and settle one way.
01 · MATCHING IS NOT ENOUGH
Matching is not enough
A decentralized infrastructure marketplace requires more than matching buyers and sellers. The network also needs mechanisms for determining what actually happened.
Kronex aims to develop verification mechanisms appropriate to each service market.
02 · WHAT EACH MARKET SETTLES AGAINST
What each market settles against
The markets differ in status. Their verification is equally unbuilt, so one badge covers the group.
| Market | Settled against |
|---|---|
| Compute | completed workload / verified result |
| Hashpower | accepted computational work |
| Storage | proof of stored data |
| Gateway | verified request delivery |
| AI | execution receipt / result verification |

03 · SETTLEMENT DOES NOT DIFFER
Settlement does not differ
Five proofs in, one settlement out. A marketplace that needed five settlement paths would be five marketplaces.
The verification model can differ by market while settlement remains coordinated through Kronex.
04 · WHAT A RECEIPT CARRIES
What a receipt carries
The settlement input, not a report.
A receipt is what the chain reads, not what a human reads afterwards. It is the input settlement acts on: the order it belongs to, the provider who filled it, what was delivered, the proof that it was, and the amount released.
That is why it carries no prose. A report describes what happened; a receipt is the thing settlement is conditioned on.

05 · WHAT EXISTS TODAY
What exists today
The Kronex testnet settles value transfers and contract calls against ordinary EVM rules. There is no verification layer, no receipts and no service settlement; everything on this page is planned.
