Resolution States

PAL Resolution States for NFC Chips

NFC chips in the PAL system can exist in one of four main resolution states:

Resolution State	Description
Claimed	For claimed chips, the resolution process is straightforward and avoids the full CCIP-read flow. The client returns an array of Service Records related to the chip's primary service.
Unclaimed - Enrolled by a Manufacturer	For unclaimed chips not in a project but enrolled by a manufacturer, the system processes a valid blob for the Manufacturer Merkle tree, leading to the return of the Manufacturer's bootloader app.
Unenrolled	Unenrolled chips are not resolvable within the PAL system, and any resolution attempt results in a system revert.
