Base
Where many x402 merchants already accept USDC. SILS adds owner verification and a private receipt on top.
Networks
Revolution is the planned primary settlement network for SILS. SILS also plans to verify USDC payments on Base, Ethereum and Solana, and it states how each one is verified.
Revolution Network
Planned, subject to a definitive agreementSILS is designing its products for Revolution V2, an Ethereum rollup on ZKsync OS, and for Revolution Name Service for .revo identities. Under the proposed arrangement, Revolution provides the chain, the names and the settlement contracts. SILS builds the products, operates them, and sells them.
Revolution V2 devnet is running. The Virtus public testnet is in setup.1
The SILS verifying node
Planned, subject to a definitive agreementA verifying node is an external node run by a staked, approved operator. It replays every block and co-signs each batch before the batch is committed to Ethereum. The signatures add an execution check independent of the proof system.3
Testnet threshold 2 of 3. Mainnet threshold 3 of 5, with at least three signers independent of Revolution and its development partner.3 Five nodes shown for the mainnet threshold. Illustrative.
Entry is approved, not open. SILS follows the same path as every operator.4
The operator verifies as a legal entity. Revolution Name Service issues a business identity.
The verified operator's verifier key is added to the node allowlist.
The operator registers with a REVO stake at the governance-set minimum. SILS plans to stake REVO it already holds in its treasury.
The node moves from pending to active when governance approves it. Then it may co-sign.
Fee flow
A merchant that accepts a SILS payment pays a SILS service fee to SILS. Settlement on Revolution also carries a protocol settlement fee, which the protocol routes to verifying node operators. The two never mix.
The diagram shows structure. No rates are shown. The protocol fee is a Revolution governance parameter and is not SILS revenue.5
Chain by chain
A proof on Revolution is checked natively. A payment on another chain is checked against that chain's own commitments, or labeled as an attestation where none exist.

Chain facts as of October 3, 2026. Revolution figures are design targets from a draft whitepaper. SILS states no finality time for any network.
Why Revolution is primary
Revolution's trust layer is built for agent commerce. SILS plans to use it as the record of identity, policy and proof.
Identity, proofs, mandate anchors, intents and escrow creation run free. A network-run ERC-4337 paymaster sponsors the gas. Sponsorship fails open to user-paid gas.14
.revo names come from Revolution Name Service. Agents are soulbound children of a verified parent.2
From public testnet onward, every batch carries a validity proof. Its data is published to Ethereum in blobs.1
Verifying nodes replay every block and co-sign before commit. Mainnet needs three independent signers.3
ERC-4337 EntryPoint v0.8 at the canonical address. ERC-7579 accounts. An ERC-8004 mirror with transfer disabled. AP2 mandates anchored.15
Why also Base, Ethereum and Solana
SILS meets merchants on the networks they accept today. Revolution remains the record of trust. It is not the sole mover of money.
Where many x402 merchants already accept USDC. SILS adds owner verification and a private receipt on top.
The settlement layer under Revolution and Base. Storage proofs anchor to its block hashes.
High-volume stablecoin payments. SILS labels its verification as an attestation until a trustless state proof exists.
