From the marginalia — the deposit pathway:

• Deposit-side hashes from claimant wallets into Zephora Trade’s receiving addresses.
• Operator forwarding wallets — deposit consolidation documented to chain-of-custody standards.
• Inter-chain bridge transactions when value moves toward off-ramp liquidity.
• Mixer/obfuscation events the operator routed through, where present.
• Final off-ramp endpoint and named counterparty exchange.

• The compliance packet for Zephora Trade is structured the way an off-ramp compliance reviewer expects to receive evidence — header, hashes, narrative, ask.
