Sandbox guide
Run Solva against the mock Open Banking sandbox.
The sandbox is a mock Open Banking service. It lets you run full proof cycles without a real bank connection, with deterministic scenarios for demos.
What it provides
- An OAuth 2.0 consent flow, authorize then token.
- A balance endpoint that returns ECDSA-signed payloads, the cryptographic substitute for a real bank's attestation.
- Two or three mock banks with configurable balances.
- An admin endpoint to seed scenarios: solvent, near-breach, and insolvent.
Seeding a scenario
Point a reserve source at a sandbox bank, seed the scenario you want, then run a cycle. The near-breach scenario is useful for exercising the anomaly agent, which flags drift before the circuit ever proves a breach.
const solva = new Solva({ network: "local", tenant: "demo-institution" });
await solva.connectSource({
type: "openbanking",
label: "Sandbox Bank A",
settings: { bank: "a", scenario: "near-breach" },
});
await solva.runProofCycle();
