Important NIL Disclosures

All NIL operations are simulation-only. No live athlete payments, settlements, or NFT/token minting is enabled.
No guaranteed NIL value, deal, income, or endorsement amount is represented or implied.
No pay-for-play or recruiting inducement structures are supported — these are blocked at the protocol level.
Minor athletes require guardian consent approval before any identity hashing or deal creation.
No sensitive athlete PII (name, DOB, SSN) is stored — only pseudonymous SHA-256 identity hashes.
Legal review, institutional pre-approval, and Control Hub governance gating are required before any real-world deployment.

Troptions — Native Layer-1 Protocol

NIL Protocol

The Troptions NIL protocol is a native Layer-1 module providing pseudonymous athlete identity hashing, 33-signal composite valuation, deal compliance evaluation, and proof vault with Merkle root anchoring templates. All operations are devnet-only, simulation-only, and approval-gated.

33-Signal Protocol (33 signals across 6 buckets)

The NIL valuation model uses 33 weighted signals across 6 category buckets to compute a composite score (0–100). Output is an estimate only — not a guaranteed income projection.

Valuation Bands

Composite scores map to estimate bands. All ranges are indicative only — not guaranteed NIL income or deal values.

Band	Score Range	Indicative USD Range
InsufficientData	0 – 14	Less than 12 months data
Emerging	15 – 39	Early-stage presence
Developing	40 – 64	Growing profile
Established	65 – 84	Consistent regional reach
Elite	85 – 100	National/premium profile

Disclaimer

The Troptions NIL Protocol is a software simulation module. It does not provide legal advice, compliance certification, NIL deal structuring, athlete representation, or financial services. No NIL values, deals, income projections, or guaranteed outcomes are represented or implied. All outputs are devnet-only simulation estimates requiring independent legal and institutional review before any real-world use.
