Asset and protocol sources
- Tether supported protocols and contracts: issuer references for the exact assets it lists. A token with the same symbol, or an explorer page, does not establish issuer-native provenance.
- Bitcoin white paper: protocol context for Bitcoin on-chain payments.
Verify the payment method
Bitcoin on-chain
Match the receiving address and amount, inspect the transaction with your node or an explorer, and apply the agreed confirmation policy. Check the invoice record before fulfilment.
Lightning
Verify the invoice and payment hash against the connected wallet or node and the recorded invoice state. An individual Lightning payment is not an on-chain transaction you can verify in a Bitcoin block explorer.
Token payments
Match the network, exact contract or mint, destination, and amount in the correct decimal precision. Then confirm the required network evidence and invoice reconciliation. An explorer label alone does not establish the asset’s issuer or bridge dependencies.
Contract and mint reference
The entries below retain the project’s reference configurations. An address check is not a deployment test or an assurance of availability. Polygon, Arbitrum One, and BNB Smart Chain need a separate provenance review before activation.

- Confirm that the software supports the selected configuration.
- Confirm that the method is enabled with the intended asset and wallet controls.
- Record the result of an authorized test invoice, including failures and reconciliation.
- Confirm merchant availability and operating responsibilities in the agreed scope.
Use the onboarding checklist to agree those steps. The technical reference explains the configuration and its limits.
