Three primitives, one chain
- Flashblocks: ~200ms preconfirmation on GIWA Sepolia (
https://sepolia-rpc-flashblocks.giwa.io). Per-request x402 payments feel like a Web2 API call. Preconfirmation is a user-experience primitive, never finality. - Dojang (도장, the seal): GIWA’s attestation service. Trusted off-chain facts (KYC status, balances, credentials) issued as on-chain attestations, with no personally identifiable information on-chain. Identity lives as attestations about an address, never as tokens owned by an address, so it is non-transferable by construction.
- EAS predeploys: the Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS) sits at the standard OP Stack slots on GIWA Sepolia: SchemaRegistry at
0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000020, EAS at0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000021. Schema registration is permissionless, so Tokscale attestations anchor on public infrastructure from day one.
Why an anonymity-first competitor cannot run here
B.AI proved the crypto-paid AI gateway category on TRON with an anonymity-first design: no mandatory KYC, agent identity as transferable ERC-8004 tokens (details in Five Proven Patterns). That design cannot run on GIWA. Verification is the chain’s entire premise: Dojang exists because Upbit’s KYC sits behind it. A GIWA-native version of this category has to be verification-first, humans alongside agents, identity bound to a Dojang Verified Address. The constraint is also the differentiation.The precedents that prove it
- Coinbase Verifications on Base is the direct Dojang analog: an exchange issuing KYC attestations via EAS on its own OP Stack L2, gating apps and perks. It drew ~9,300 attestations on day one, 15% of all EAS attestations at the time. Upbit (13M+ users) to Dojang to Tokscale is the identical play, and Base already ran it.
- Shinhan Bank is migrating professional-credential verification onto GIWA: doctor-loan qualification checks, expanding to lawyers and accountants. A Builder Passport is the same category (professional credential attestation) for a profession GIWA does not yet cover: AI-native developers.
The x402 port, settled on the public chain
GIWA does not officially support x402. We ported the stack ourselves: a self-hosted x402-rs facilitator (image pinned by digest), the canonical Permit2 proxies, and an ERC-6492 signature validator, all deployed on public GIWA Sepolia. Then we settled a real payment on it: one ERC-3009exact settlement of 1.0 tUSD in tx 0xad1a2f7b5aff4033e7779437ec487e8b51eb8170ba1c6c8cc971f6de37fcb9f8, replay-rejected by the facilitator on retry.
That answers the hardest open question: does x402 work on GIWA at all. Re-verify the deployment and settlement records against the live chain:
What Tokscale gives back
- The x402 gateway GIWA lacks. GIWA has no crypto-paid AI gateway and no x402 facilitator; Tokscale ships both, including operating the facilitator role itself.
- A GIWA Wallet use case people check daily. The Builder Passport is a wallet-readable credential with real content behind it (verified usage, skill signals, verification rate), not a static badge. For more information, see Builder Passport.
Riding Dojang’s roadmap
Dojang’s implicit roadmap, read from GIWA’s own moves:- KYC attestation (live: Verified Address, issued by Upbit Korea; a Testnet Faucet attester exists on Sepolia).
- Balance and financial attestations (live: Balance Root and Verified Balance).
- Professional credentials (in progress: the Shinhan Bank pattern).
- Third-party issuers (architecture ready; external issuers are explicitly invited at buidl@giwa.io).
- Privacy-enhanced attestations (Bojagi convergence).
