Hi @amithanda — just checking in on this one. Is there anything blocking review, or would adding the "TC review" label help get it into the queue? Happy to address any feedback. |

Adds a capability extension that complements eligibility (Universal-Commerce-Protocol#250) with cryptographic attestation proofs. Platforms relay signed attestations alongside eligibility claims; Businesses verify offline via JWKS. Follows the discount extension pattern (allOf on Cart/Checkout). Discussed in Universal-Commerce-Protocol#203 and Universal-Commerce-Protocol#250 — igrigorik invited this as a companion extension ("a great candidate, additive and non-breaking").

Description
Adds a capability extension that complements eligibility (#250) with
cryptographic attestation proofs for non-instrument claims (token holdings,
on-chain credentials, membership status).
Discussed and invited in #203 and #250:
provider_jwks/kid/payload/sigattestation pattern in the signals speccapability extension that complements eligibility. Additive and
non-breaking."
and specified the sibling map
pattern
— attestations keyed by eligibility claim, on the cart/checkout object
similar to the discount extension
How it works
context.eligibilityclaimsprovider_jwks, select key bykid, verifysigoverpayloadpayloadis an opaque passthrough of the provider's signed object — notransformation, so signature verification works end-to-end
expires_atlives outsidepayloadbecause it is not covered by thesignature — the Business checks this independently
Follows the discount extension pattern (
allOfon Cart and Checkout, siblingmap keyed by reverse-domain eligibility claims).
Wire format example
{ "context": { "eligibility": ["com.example.token_holder"] }, "attestations": { "com.example.token_holder": { "provider_jwks": "https://example.com/.well-known/jwks.json", "kid": "example-key-2026-01", "payload": { "id": "att-7c3e9f", "pass": true, "results": ["..."], "attestedAt": "2026-03-13T19:20:32.530Z" }, "sig": "base64...", "expires_at": "2026-03-13T19:50:32.530Z" } } }Verification flow
context.eligibilityclaim + matchingattestationsentryprovider_jwks, selects key matchingkidsigover the payload (platforms must preserve the provider'soriginal serialization)

Relationship to #280
This PR and #280 (wallet attestation mechanism type) are complementary but
independent:
data appears in cart/checkout wire format.
identity_linking— how a businessestablishes identity via wallet attestation.
Neither PR depends on the other. When both are present, the mechanism provides
the signed attestation and the extension provides the wire format for attaching
it.
