"We use a chain only when chain matters. Truth Ledger first. Anchor to chain when defensibility needs it."
CircularOS does NOT mint NFTs. The Truth Ledger is the source of truth — a SHA-256 hashed, append-only Postgres ledger. When external regulators or large clients need on-chain anchoring, daily Merkle root is published to Polygon (low gas, finality). Lightweight, defensible, no token shenanigans.

Without anchoring, sceptical regulators can claim ledger tampering. With chain hype, we attract crypto noise. The middle path — anchor only — is the survivable one.
