Status, security and licensing
Clear is in alpha: a developer preview. The contracts have not been audited. Do not put real money behind them without an independent security review and operational hardening.

Which network
The contracts run on Base, a public network, and on its test network, Base Sepolia, where nothing is real money.
The credit side is not on Base yet. Credit lines, split plans, shop payouts and the reserve exist only on the test network today.
Every address is listed in the root README under Deployed addresses.
Which app
demo.useclear.org, merchant.useclear.org and command.useclear.org run on the test network,
with the bank, identity, card and payment providers in their sandbox or test modes. Nothing there is
real money.
The card is not available with real money yet. It runs in its provider's sandbox only.
Equity credits earned on a test network are recorded separately from those earned on a live one.
Security
- Unaudited. No independent audit of the contracts has been done.
- Access control on every money path. Contracts that move value check roles, can be paused, and guard against re-entry.
- No single key should hold the contracts. Admin powers are meant to sit with the Ops Safe, a multi-signature wallet, and each day-to-day job with its own wallet. Until they are handed over on a network, the deployer key holds every role there. Who holds what is in On-chain authority.
- Interfaces still move. Contract functions and API shapes can change between versions.
Licensing
Clear's source code carries more than one license, and which one applies depends on the directory.
contracts/, deploy/, scripts/, test/)apps/*)packages/domain, packages/tokens, packages/contracts-sdkNOTICE.md is the authority on which license applies where. It records which
files come from StableCredit, explains the rule that keeps the copyleft inside contracts/ — no app
imports Solidity source, only generated ABIs — and flags one question that has not been reviewed by
counsel. Read it before moving code across those boundaries.
