Provider Readiness

Provider readiness determines when PubFi can safely say a source is callable through the gateway.

Readiness Layers

Certification

Adapter certification is evidence, not procurement authority. A provider cannot be presented as gateway_available unless its current adapter, readiness catalog, route cases, auth shape, environment requirements, smoke evidence, usage facts, and public-claim basis align.

Generic HTTP/OpenAPI Manifests

Generic manifests can make low-risk routes easier to certify, but they fail closed unless:
  • the provider and operation are within PubFi’s crypto/Web3/on-chain data scope;
  • manifest state is runtime-enabled;
  • certification run passed;
  • required operation, auth, parameter, timeout, response, usage, and fixture checks passed;
  • supplier procurement and payment authority remain disabled unless separately approved.
The public gateway catalog is the current runtime authority for generated generic operations. An empty certified catalog is a valid fail-closed state when no eligible generic providers are active. Generic manifest certification requires public-safe terms and relevance evidence bound to the exact operation, plus any required fixed-network, no-auth-upstream, or static-query-parameter constraints.

Public Docs Rule

Discovery pages may show requestable, contract-ready, or candidate states. They must not imply gateway availability until readiness and certification evidence support that claim.
