Usage Advice
Use when
- Use to classify the settlement state of a ledger transaction or block — pending, confirmed, finalized, orphaned, reorged — naming a
gmeow:LedgerFinalityStatusindividual.
Avoid when
- Avoid for the raw confirmation count (that is
gmeow:confirmationDepth) and for the verification verdict of an attestation (gmeow:hasVerificationStatus); finality is the chain-settlement state, not a block count or an attestation check.
How to use
- Reference a
gmeow:LedgerFinalityStatusindividual, observed at a point in time; the chain-finality determination itself runs in the solver layer (Principle 12), and the status may change as the chain advances.
