What Causes Glyph Expiry?

• Sponsor account downgrade or suspension
• Entropy signal decay or node misalignment
• Manual revocation triggered by infrastructure operations

Expiry Behavior

• Tunnel access revoked without warning
• Glyph downgraded to Tier 0 (holding state)
• Config slots invalidated; DNS and IP routing disabled

Trust Renewal Pathways

• Revalidation via sponsor lineage if Tier 2/3 still active
• Voice channel request for glyph audit and extension
• Silent reactivation if infrastructure entropy stabilises

Monitoring Expiry Risk

• Tier dashboard includes “Trust Drift” and glyph TTL indicators
• Audit trail shows revocation history and sponsor linkage
• Use /client/glyph-renew.html to request metadata refresh

Best Practices

• Maintain relationship with your original sponsor
• Avoid idle glyph behavior for extended periods
• Monitor dashboard alerts for “Glyph Expired” or “Trust Drift” notices

“Trust isn’t eternal, it’s encrypted, expiring, and earned again.”
