What Is a Pactvera?

 How Pactvera Works

A Pactvera brings agreements, participant actions, and value exchange into one coordinated process.

A typical Pactvera follows these steps:

1. You create an agreement or transaction, add participants, upload documents, build forms, and assign required actions.
2. Participants receive an email with a link to access the Pactvera.
3. Participants onboard to ChainIT ID.
4. Each participant completes their assigned actions, such as signing, reviewing, submitting information, making or confirming a payment, providing an item of value, completing an inspection or confirmation, or authorizing release.
5. The Pactvera is completed once all required agreement and transaction actions have been finished.

For Pactvera Transactions, completing the documents may be only one part of the process. Payment, funding, inspection, delivery, release, or payout tasks may also need to be completed before the Pactvera can be finalized.

What Makes Pactvera Different

Pactvera goes beyond traditional e-signature tools by connecting verified identity, agreement execution, and transaction activity in one record.

• Verified identity — Participants complete protected actions using ChainIT ID, tying each action to a verified individual.

• Secure authentication — Actions are confirmed through biometric authentication rather than relying only on access to an email account or device.

• Verified authority — When a participant acts for an organization, Pactvera verifies that the person has the required authority for that action.

• Connected execution — Documents, forms, payments, items of value, conditions, and release actions can be managed as parts of the same agreement.

• Complete record — Pactvera records who performed each action, what was completed, and when and where the action occurred.

• Tamper-evident history — Completed actions are preserved as part of an append-only execution record.

This provides stronger evidence of execution than standard e-signature systems that generally focus on document access, signatures, and device or email-based validation.

What You Can Use Pactvera For

Pactvera can be used for agreements and workflows that require verified participation, signatures, data collection, approvals, or an exchange of value.

Common examples include:

• Contracts and legal agreements
• Approvals and internal sign-offs
• Forms and structured data collection
• Customer or vendor onboarding
• Product purchases and sales
• Conditional payments or disbursements
• Delivery, inspection, and acceptance workflows
• Transfers of products, services, or entitlements

Each Pactvera can include:

• Documents for signing or review
• Forms for collecting structured information
• Participant actions and approvals
• Payments or payment confirmations
• An item of value, such as a product, service, entitlement, or monetary amount
• Conditions that must be completed before value can be released
• Any combination of these components

Pactvera Transactions

A Pactvera Transaction connects an agreement to the value being exchanged between its parties.

The value may include:

• A product
• A service
• An entitlement
• Money
• Another supported item of value

A transaction can also define payment responsibilities, required evidence, release conditions, and the person authorized to release the value.

Pactvera treats the stages of a transaction separately:

• Funding commits the item of value to the transaction.
• Obligation fulfillment records required actions, such as making or confirming a payment.
• Release authorizes the value to move after the required conditions are satisfied.
• Transfer or disbursement completes the movement of the value to the recipient.

Funding, payment, release, and final transfer are separate states. Depending on the transaction, more than one of these may need to occur before the agreement is complete.

For detailed setup instructions, see Transactions: How to Create a Pactvera Transaction.

How Conditions Control Value Release

A Pactvera Transaction may include conditions that must be satisfied before an item of value can be released.

Conditions may include:

• Required documents being signed
• Forms being submitted
• A payment being completed or confirmed
• An item being funded
• An inspection being completed
• Delivery being confirmed
• An approval or acceptance being recorded

Once the required conditions are satisfied, an authorized participant can complete the release action.

For monetary transactions, the recipient may also need to review and accept payout details before funds are disbursed. For products, services, or entitlements, transfer may occur when the authorized release is completed.

What Happens When a Pactvera Is Completed

A Pactvera is completed only after all required actions have been finished.

Depending on the agreement, this may include:

• Signing or reviewing documents
• Submitting forms
• Making or confirming a payment
• Providing an item of value
• Completing an inspection or delivery action
• Authorizing release
• Accepting a payout
• Completing the final transfer or disbursement

Once the completion requirements are satisfied:

• The Pactvera is finalized.
• A complete execution record is created.
• Participants can access the final version of the agreement, subject to their access permissions.
• The agreement terms, completed actions, and applicable transaction records are preserved together.

The final record shows:

• Who completed each action
• What was completed
• When each action occurred
• Where each action occurred
• What authority supported an organizational action
• Which transaction conditions were satisfied
• When value was funded, released, transferred, or disbursed

Valitorum: The Final Pactvera Record

When all required completion criteria are satisfied, Pactvera creates a Valitorum, the sealed final record of the agreement.

The Valitorum brings together the completed agreement and its execution history, which may include:

• Final documents and forms
• Participant actions
• Identity and authority records
• Funding events
• Payment or payment-confirmation records
• Condition evaluations
• Release events
• Payout and disbursement records
• Final transfer records

The Valitorum is cryptographically anchored and preserves the completed Pactvera as a tamper-evident, append-only record. It is designed to support audit, compliance review, counterparty verification, and dispute analysis.

Pactvera does not determine whether an agreement is legally enforceable or admissible in a particular jurisdiction. Those determinations depend on the agreement, applicable law, and the circumstances in which the record is used.

Summary

Pactvera provides a structured way to:

• Create and send agreements
• Collect signatures, approvals, and information
• Coordinate payments and exchanges of value
• Assign and track required actions
• Control when value can be released
• Verify participant identity and organizational authority
• Maintain a complete and verifiable execution record
