Without it
Pilot can't show which node answered, waits for confirmations by checking again and again, and wouldn't notice if a Harbor key were used somewhere else.
IntegrationsQuickNode
A faster line to the ledger, with a watchdog on Harbor's keys.
QuickNode is how Harbor talks to the XRP Ledger: it carries requests, reports transactions the moment they're confirmed, and watches the accounts Harbor controls. If one of Harbor's keys is used outside Harbor, Harbor freezes it.
How it works
Watch a request go through it.
The square is the request. Follow it from part to part, read what happens below, and pick an outcome to see what happens when things pass, need you, or stop.

You ask Pilot to trade
Pilot sends Harbor an exact request. QuickNode details never reach your browser.
Why it matters
Faster confirmations, and every answer says which route it came from.
Why it matters
What changes with it, and what never does.
With it
Every answer says which route served it. Confirmations arrive as soon as the ledger validates. A watchdog compares ledger activity with what Harbor actually did.
What never changes
QuickNode never decides or signs, and its keys never reach your browser. A freeze only stops Harbor; only your signature removes a permission everywhere.
