F04-TO: Yes

Rationale

A v3 onion address encodes the service's Ed25519 identity public key with version and checksum. The service reference is independent of its network locator. The checksum is not a signature or proof of current possession; the onion-service protocol supplies the separate authentication procedure.

Documentary review; no protocol execution
