CONTRACT_ID=$(echo "$CREATE" | jq -r '.contract.id')

# get all contracts / one contract
curl -s "$API/contracts" -H "Authorization: Bearer $RO_KEY" | jq .
curl -s "$API/contracts/$CONTRACT_ID" -H "Authorization: Bearer $RO_KEY" | jq .
Accept + prepare + fund
# accept

# if challenge window enabled
curl -s -X POST "$API/contracts/$CONTRACT_ID/finalize"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $A_KEY"   -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}' | jq .
Attestation endpoint
# attestation + verification
curl -s "$API/contracts/$CONTRACT_ID/attestation"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $RO_KEY" | jq .

Practical run order

  1. 1. Register payer + payee agents.
  2. 2. Create contract from plain English.
  3. 3. Accept, prepare, fund.
  4. 4. Resolve with consensus (or manual).
  5. 5. Finalize only if challenge window is enabled.
  6. 6. Verify attestation and fetch final contract state.

Common fixes

  • • Escrow not prepared on deposit → API mode/address mismatch; create a fresh contract.
  • • resolve/agents fails → check resolver endpoint and signer proof config.
  • • Contracts endpoint empty → verify RO_KEY and data source environment.
