Payments operationalize flows: stablecoin settlement for payouts, collections, merchant flows, and treasury movement, with built-in liquidity and execution primitives for conversion and routing when flows cross currencies. Tokenization turns flows into controlled instruments by encoding lifecycle events and transfer policy directly into assets. Intelligence adds opt-in privacy, selective disclosure, and orchestration so fintechs, institutions, and governments can operate at real volume.
Principles
- Flows first: Payments are the wedge. Instruments and markets follow.
- Deterministic by design: Predictable execution under load for production settlement.
- Lifecycle first: Issuance, transfer, cashflows, and end-of-life events are explicit.
- Controls by design: Policy is attached at creation and enforced in execution, with auditability.
- Opt-in privacy: Protect operational metadata with selective disclosure when required.
- EVM parity: Standard interfaces work as expected with common tooling.
