Security

Security & operational controls

Safeguards for ledger integrity, quote binding, settlement review, and scoped partner access.

Ledger as source of truth

Balances are tracked as available, reserved, in-flight, and settled. Routing and settlement reference the ledger — fiat and digital-asset legs are not commingled.

Quote binding

Executable quotes carry server-side TTL. Rate, fee snapshot, and LP routing context bind at acceptance. Expired quotes cannot be paid against. This prevents stale-rate exploitation.

Settlement review

  • Quote acceptance reserves inventory on the LP book.
  • Fiat capture or payout confirms independently of the crypto leg.
  • Crypto send or receive confirms on its rail with ledger updates.
  • Order completes only when both legs reconcile or policy closes the fill.
  • Ops can hold, decline, or retry without rewriting executed economics.

Permission boundaries

  • Customers see only their quotes, orders, wallet, and beneficiaries.
  • LPs see only inventory and fills for their lpId — not other desks.
  • Ops, compliance, and admin roles are separated with distinct permission sets.
  • Public marketing does not expose internal network counters or LP inventory.

Digital-asset handling

  • Fiat and digital-asset legs never commingle in the book.
  • Reserved balances lock against open quotes before settlement releases.
  • Adapter layer supports simulator, testnet, and custody paths — labeled honestly in program docs.
