Production

The signing ceremony

Moving from sandbox to production is a single gate: the signing ceremony. No sales process, no long procurement. One meeting, one document, one action on chain.

This page is read-only. Nothing on this page commits you to anything. The ceremony itself is the commitment — and it only happens when you schedule it.

What changes in production

The sandbox uses Frame's signing key for anchor commitments. Production uses your signing key, held in your KMS (AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, or equivalent). Frame never has access to your private key.

The API surface is identical. Your integration code does not change. You swap the API endpoint and the signing credential; every curl command from the quickstart works against production unchanged.

The attestation gate — disabled in sandbox — is enabled in production. Every settlement is policy-evaluated before anchoring. You configure the policies; Frame enforces them at the cryptographic layer.

The ceremony

  1. 1

    KMS setup

    You provision an Ed25519 key pair in your KMS. You provide the public key to Frame. Frame publishes it on the public registry. This is a one-time action.

  2. 2

    Contract review

    Frame sends the service agreement. Standard terms; no negotiation queue. You sign electronically.

  3. 3

    Ceremony call

    Thirty minutes. Frame engineers and your engineers on the same call. We verify the key registration, run a dry-run settlement, confirm the anchor, and flip the production flag.

  4. 4

    Live

    Your first production settlement anchors on Arbitrum Mainnet. You verify it with frame-verify. Same command as the sandbox.

What Frame provides

  • — Public API identical to the sandbox — no integration changes.
  • — The anchor contract (AuditAnchorV2) deployed on Arbitrum Mainnet.
  • — The evidence bundle format and frame-verify binary — your auditors' independent check.
  • — 99.9% API uptime SLA with incident runbooks.
  • — Compliance artifacts on request: SOC 2 Type II, penetration test summary.
