About anchoring — what “pending V1 GA” means
ARGUS hash-chains every audit event the moment it occurs, and anchors each firm's chain to
the public Polygon blockchain weekly (every Sunday). An event is
protected by the in-database hash chain immediately, and becomes
independently verifiable on-chain at its next weekly anchor — up to seven days
later depending on where in the cycle it occurred. A bundle showing
Polygon anchor: pending V1 GA (or events newer than the last anchor) is
therefore expected behaviour, not a tampering signal. On-chain
verification on this page arrives with V1 GA, reading a public Polygon endpoint — never an
ARGUS server.
Prefer to verify offline? Every bundle ships its own standalone verifier at
verifier/verify_bundle.py — pure Python 3 standard library:
python verifier/verify_bundle.py <bundle.zip>. This page and that
script implement the identical published scheme (SHA-256 hash chain per §2.1; RFC-6962
merkle tree).
