confirmation depth

• CURIE: gmeow:confirmationDepth
• IRI: https://blackcatinformatics.ca/gmeow/confirmationDepth
• Category: property
• Defined by: gmeow:slices/attestation
• Box roles: CBox role, RBox role (What is this?)

The number of blocks confirming a transaction or log entry since its inclusion. Domain-free.

Structure

Property shape: datatype property; ? -> xsd:integer

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:confirmationDepth from ? to xsd:integer when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to record how many blocks have confirmed a transaction or log entry since inclusion — the depth a consumer weighs when judging settlement risk.

Avoid when

• Avoid for the categorical finality state (that is gmeow:finalityStatus / gmeow:LedgerFinalityStatus); depth is the raw count, not the pending/confirmed/finalized classification, and the threshold judgement is a solver concern.

How to use

• Record the integer depth as observed at a point in time; pair it with gmeow:finalityStatus, and let the solver layer map depth to a settlement decision under chain-specific rules (Principle 12).

Examples

• ex:tx1 gmeow:confirmationDepth 12.
