VTR-1, Version 1.0 — FINAL. Frozen 1 August 2026.
An open specification for verifiable track records: a trading performance claim proven honest by cryptographic proof rather than asserted by its author. CC BY 4.0 — anyone may implement, cite, or extend it with attribution, including parties who compete with its steward.

A copy that hashes differently is not this version. Both artifacts are timestamped on Bitcoin (OpenTimestamps); .ots proofs are attached.
Contents — 22 pages. Three conformance Levels, the verification procedure, the boundaries the standard refuses to certify, governance under era law, an adversary model with seven named attack classes, strategy representation, and normative appendices pinning the estimators, the fixed-point arithmetic and the commitment constructions. 41 numbered requirements (R-01 to R-41), so a conformance claim can be contradicted.
Conformance vectors — nine known-answer tests with normative exit codes: five that MUST verify, three that MUST NOT, and one published honest failure. They exist to make an independent second implementation cheaper to build.
Frozen — the normative text will not change. Findings are published as errata with attribution; a finding that alters a requirement produces a numbered successor version which supersedes but never invalidates credentials issued under this one. Requirement identifiers are permanent.
