Stop maintaining the same token check in every route.

BEFORE

Direct reads become authorization infrastructure

Once token checks control real product access, you own provider failures, contract validation, token-standard differences, policy storage and consistent deny/error behavior.

AFTER

Application code consumes a verdict

Keep those details behind one policy API and let routes consume a stable decision.

const verdict = await accessVerdict.verify({ policyId, wallet });
if (verdict.status === "error") failClosed();
if (!verdict.allowed) deny();

MIGRATE

Replace one existing gate first

The best evaluation is a real route that already performs a balance or ownership check. Compare code removed, setup friction and failure handling.
