The POP AVS is the attestation boundary between a QUBE observation and a recorded economic action. WARDEN is the witness: it preserves the identity, freshness, and policy result of a physical reading. The Witnesses of Warden (W0W) are the EigenLayer-backed operator and attestation layer that carries that result through a quorum. POPchain records the accepted report and any settlement separately.
What the public layer can verify
W0W posture
Witnesses of Warden is the public name for POP’s EigenLayer AVS layer: independent operators attest to WARDEN’s deterministic evidence, while the WARDEN remains the source of the physical observation and policy result. The layer is being disclosed incrementally so the public can inspect the evidence boundary without turning an unfinished security system into a promise. Participation and disclosure should remain fair in both directions; cryptographic checks, operator quorum, and chain records remain authoritative.
Telemetry is evidence, not magic: the public surface keeps physical observation, identity, operator attestation, policy, and settlement distinct so each claim can be checked on its own terms.
