Integration Notes for Auditors
Understanding Context is Critical
WERC7575 is a settlement platform for commercial counterparties, not a consumer wallet. Restricted withdrawals are not censorship: banks freeze accounts during fraud investigations, escrows hold funds until counterparty release, and clearing houses lock positions through the settlement period. The same logic applies here.
The correct audit questions: Can withdrawal permission be abused to steal funds? Do safeguards exist against a validator blocking legitimate withdrawals?
What Makes This Different from DeFi
| DeFi Standard | WERC7575 Settlement |
|---|---|
| Permissionless access | KYC required (regulatory) |
| Instant withdrawals | Permission required (settlement safety) |
| No operator control | Validator controls (operational necessity) |
| Code is law | Code + legal agreements |
| Trust-minimized | Trust professional operators |
These differences are the business model, not defects.
