| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Platform | The business integrating zerohash services into a Customer-facing application |
| Customer | The Platform’s end customer who initiates a deposit or withdrawal |
| AUTH provider | An external account or wallet provider represented in the AUTH network; inclusion does not establish a partnership with zerohash or availability for every Platform or product |
| AUTH partner | An institution that partners with zerohash to serve as an AUTH provider in the AUTH network; not all AUTH providers are partners, including some wallet integrations |
| Institutional account | An external account held with a provider, such as an exchange |
| Wallet | An external wallet controlled by its holder rather than an account held with an institutional account provider |
| Connection | An external institutional account or wallet available to the Customer in an AUTH flow; your Platform chooses which connections appear through the Connection control |
| Name match | A control that compares Customer information with information received from an external institutional account; its effect depends on the configured matching flow |
| Non-AUTH-initiated deposit | A deposit sent to a deposit address without initiating the transfer through AUTH; the transaction block control can route received funds to recovery instead of making them available for ordinary Customer activity |
recovery_quarantine | An account label used for received funds that are not available for ordinary Customer activity and require a recovery flow |
| Cert | The certification environment used to test an integration with simulated transactions before production; see Getting started with AUTH |
