See V2C Structure for the full data model and V2C Lifecycle for how voting and tallying are sequenced.
There’s no separate “stake to participate” step. This call does both at once — the first (and only) time a given Backup Agent calls this for a contract, it posts the full Backup Agent Bond via x402 (see Payments & Custody) and submits its vote for every criterion together. A Backup Agent can only call this once per contract; there’s no per-criterion round-trip and no resubmission.
Path Parameters
Request Body
Exactly one entry per criterion in the contract’s
acceptanceCriteria, covering all of them in this single call. Each entry:Show vote entry
