Status · what is and isn’t live

Honest status — spec, implementation, and the service that doesn’t exist yet.

KYE Protocol™ has two halves: an open contract (specs, schemas, OpenAPI, conformance pack) and a reference implementation (Gateway, SDKs, runtime libs). Both are real and verifiable today. A hosted service — the KYE™ Cloud Gateway™ — is on the v1.1 commercial track and does not run today.

Status: side by side

What’s actually live and verifiable today

The contract and the reference build — measured, not aspirational.

These numbers are real. Run npx @kye/conformance-pack-verifier run against the reference Gateway to reproduce them on your own machine. The public mirror packages live under the KYE-Protocol GitHub organisation.

The contract is bank-grade and frozen. The reference implementation is pilot-grade — correctness-first, not throughput-tuned. Production deployments substitute a hardened build behind the same contract.

What is NOT live today

No hosted service. No measured uptime. No production deployments.

  • Hosted KYE™ Cloud Gateway™ service — not running. The reference Gateway runs on your machine via npx wrangler dev (in internal). The hosted commercial offering is on the v1.1 track.
  • Live measured uptime / latency / throughput — none. The targets in the SLA tier table below are the commitments a KYE™-bearing service operates under once deployed; they are not historical performance.
  • Tier-1 bank deployments — none yet. “Tier-1 readiness hardening” is the v1.0.x roadmap track (CI supply-chain, governance docs, Gateway runtime hardening, signing-suite construction) — not a present-tense claim. See roadmap →
  • Public adopter logos / customer references — none yet. References will land here when each Customer publishes their own. See the engagement model.
  • L3 KYE™ Conformant™ / L4 KYE™ Certified™ programs — in development; open with v1.1. L1 KYE™ Self-Tested™ + L2 KYE™ Self-Attested™ available today.
  • KYE™ Authority Wallet Pro™ (the production Wallet with real Gateway integration + push approvals) — v1.1 commercial track. The Authority Wallet Demo™ source is built; APK build pending Google Play Console access.

SLA targets · apply once a deployment is live

Availability targets per tier (future commitments).

TierAvailability targetEligibilityService credit on miss
Standard99.9% per calendar monthDefault tier10% → 50% scaling with miss size
Enterprise99.95% per calendar monthDeployments operating regulated profiles (payments high-assurance, federation, healthcare, treasury)15% → 50%
Mission-critical99.99% per calendar monthDirect-engagement deployments with named scope, dedicated capacity, quarterly drill cadence20% → 75%

These are the SLA tiers defined in the customer-SLA template that ships with the procurement pack under NDA. Once a deployment runs in production for KYE Protocol™ Ltd., availability will be measured at the Customer’s nearest region by a synthetic monitor and published here. No measured uptime to publish yet — these are the contractual targets, not historical performance.

Customer notifications

When and how Customers hear about an incident.

  • Initial declaration. Within the per-severity window above, the Comms lead posts to the public status page (this page, when live) and emails the named technical contacts on the Customer's account.
  • Status updates. Posted on the published cadence until resolution; every update carries a current state, an explicit ETA when known, and any required Customer action.
  • Resolution. Marked “resolved” when synthetic monitors return to within SLA bounds for the dwell window; a post-mortem is published within 14 days for Sev-0 / Sev-1 events.
  • Service credits. Customers claim credits within 30 days of month-end per the SLA §5 in the procurement pack; credit is applied to the next invoice.
