Welcome to OPTKAS
Your institutional-grade digital securities platform
What Is OPTKAS?
OPTKAS is a full-stack institutional digital securities platform that bridges traditional finance with blockchain settlement. It enables you to structure, issue, trade, and manage securities and real-world assets using the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Stellar networks — all backed by real legal structure, qualified custody, and immutable on-chain proof.
This is not a concept or a prototype. OPTKAS operates 134 live capabilities across 5 operational layers, with 9 funded mainnet accounts, 28 TypeScript automation engines, and 1,213+ automated tests. Everything is built, deployed, and operational.
Why OPTKAS Exists
Traditional capital markets are slow, expensive, and opaque. Bond issuance takes weeks. Settlement takes days. Reporting is manual. Proof is paper. OPTKAS was built to solve each of these problems:
Instant Settlement
3–5 second finality on XRPL. No T+2 waiting period. Delivery-vs-Payment happens atomically.
Immutable Proof
Every transaction, attestation, and reserve snapshot is hashed and permanently anchored on-chain. Tamper-proof.
Real Liquidity
9 AMM liquidity pools provide constant, algorithmic pricing — no counterparty needed. Trade 24/7/365.
The Legal Foundation
OPTKAS is not just technology — it is a legally structured securities platform. Every digital asset is backed by real legal instruments:
🏢 Entity & Legal Structure
- SPV: OPTKAS1-MAIN SPV — Wyoming, USA (purpose-built special purpose vehicle)
- Sponsor: TC Advantage Traders Ltd.
- Program: $500M Medium-Term Note (MTN) program with CUSIP/ISIN identifiers
- First Tranche: $10M secured notes — 50 units at $200,000 each, 5% coupon, maturing 2030
- Collateral: UCC-1 filing creating first-priority security interest in all assets

Use Cases & Benefits
Every way you can use OPTKAS — and why each one matters
Your 6 Asset Classes
OPTKAS supports 6 distinct tokenized asset classes — each represented by a unique XRPL IOU with its own economic purpose:
OPTKAS — Bond Claims
Primary bond claim receipts. Each token represents a legal claim against the $10M secured note tranche — 5% coupon, 2030 maturity. Your core debt instrument.
SOVBND — Sovereign Bonds
Sovereign claim tracker for government-grade debt instruments. Enables participation in structured sovereign or quasi-sovereign obligations.
IMPERIA — Asset-Class Claims
Multi-asset class participation tokens. Represents diversified exposure across the full OPTKAS asset portfolio.
GEMVLT — Vault Participation
Vault participation tokens for precious gems, rare materials, and certified valuables. Secured by physical assets in vault custody.
TERRAVL — Real Estate Claims
Real estate claim tokens representing interest in property portfolios, rental income, and development projects.
PETRO — Energy Assets
Energy asset claim tokens. Oil, gas, and energy commodity exposure structured as digital securities.
What You Can Do With OPTKAS
Beyond holding tokens, OPTKAS provides a complete ecosystem of financial services and capabilities:
Earn Fixed Income
Receive scheduled coupon payments from secured bonds. The coupon waterfall engine processes payments automatically using the 30/360 or ACT/365 accrual conventions — the same methods used by major institutions.
Trade 24/7 via AMM Pools
All 6 tokens have dedicated liquidity pools on XRPL. Swap tokens for XRP (or vice versa) at any time — no counterparty required. Algorithmic pricing ensures fair value. Earn passive trading fees by providing liquidity.
Atomic Delivery-vs-Payment
When you buy or sell, both sides of the transaction settle simultaneously — the bond and the payment are released in the same atomic operation. No counterparty risk. No settlement lag.
Verified Proof-of-Reserves
Every reserve snapshot is hashed (SHA-256) and anchored permanently on XRPL and Stellar. NFT attestations are minted as permanent proof. Anyone can verify — it's on a public ledger.
Cross-Chain Settlement
OPTKAS operates on both XRPL and Stellar. The SettlementEngine can execute cross-ledger atomic transfers, hash-anchoring proofs on both chains simultaneously for maximum transparency.
Automated Risk Monitoring
10,000 Monte Carlo VaR simulations run continuously. Stress tests, liquidity coverage ratios, and concentration indices keep your portfolio monitored in real-time. If thresholds are breached, alerts trigger instantly.
Automated Reporting
Investor reports generated automatically. NAV calculations, P&L by asset class, borrowing base certificates, and covenant compliance — all produced by the automation layer without manual intervention.
Fiat On-Ramp & Off-Ramp
Move between fiat (USD) and digital assets via the Stellar SEP-24 anchor. Deposit USD, receive tokens. Redeem tokens, receive USD. KYC-compliant and fully integrated.
Borrowing Base Monitoring
Real-time collateral coverage tracking at 250% over-collateralization. Borrowing base certificates generated automatically. Sensitivity analysis available on-demand.

Stablecoin Guide
How to use, implement, and create stablecoins within OPTKAS
What Are Stablecoins & Why Do They Matter?
Stablecoins are digital assets pegged to a stable reference — typically the US Dollar. In the OPTKAS system, stablecoins serve as the settlement layer for all transactions. They enable you to move between fiat (traditional money) and digital assets seamlessly, settle trades in a stable denomination, and avoid the volatility of native cryptocurrencies like XRP or XLM.
💡 Why Stablecoins Are Critical
- Price Stability: Unlike XRP or BTC, stablecoins maintain a 1:1 peg to USD — your $1M stays $1M
- Settlement Currency: All bond payments, coupon distributions, and redemptions are denominated in stable USD value
- Cross-Border: Move USD-value globally in seconds without SWIFT, wire fees, or banking delays
- Liquidity Bridge: Connect traditional banking (fiat) to on-chain settlement without volatility exposure
- 24/7 Availability: Unlike traditional banking, stablecoin transfers operate around the clock
Supported Stablecoin Integrations
The OPTKAS Treasury account maintains active trustlines to the following institutional-grade stablecoin issuers on XRPL:
Bitstamp USD
One of the oldest cryptocurrency exchanges, Bitstamp issues USD IOUs on XRPL directly. Fully regulated in the EU with bank-grade compliance.
GateHub USD
GateHub provides XRPL-native USD IOUs backed by reserves. Popular gateway for XRPL ecosystem participants with established fiat rails.
Tether (USDT)
The world's largest stablecoin by market cap ($100B+). Available on XRPL via cross-chain bridging. USDT provides maximum liquidity and universal acceptance.
Circle (USDC)
US-regulated, fully-reserved stablecoin. Monthly attestation reports by Grant Thornton. The gold standard for regulated institutional stablecoin usage.
How Stablecoins Work in OPTKAS
▶ Implementation Process
- Trustline Creation: Your XRPL account creates a trustline to the stablecoin issuer (e.g., Bitstamp). This is a one-time setup that costs ~0.2 XRP in reserve.
- Funding: Deposit USD via the stablecoin provider's fiat ramp. USD converts to XRPL IOU at 1:1.
- Settlement: Use stablecoin balance for bond purchases, coupon collection, or AMM trading. All on-chain, all instant.
- Redemption: Convert IOU back to fiat USD through the same provider. Funds return to your bank account.
📊 Which Stablecoin Should I Use?
- Maximum Liquidity: USDT — largest market cap, most widely traded
- Maximum Compliance: USDC — US-regulated, monthly attestations, institutional standard
- XRPL Native: Bitstamp or GateHub USD — native XRPL IOUs, no bridging needed
- Cross-Chain: Use USDC on Stellar for SEP-24 on/off-ramp capabilities
Building Your Own Stablecoin
OPTKAS demonstrates exactly how to create, issue, and manage a custom stablecoin on XRPL. If your organization wants its own branded USD-pegged token, here's how:
🛠 Custom Stablecoin — Step by Step
- Create Issuer Account: Set up a dedicated XRPL issuer account with
DefaultRippleenabled. This account is the mint authority for your token. - Configure Controls: Enable
RequireAuthif you want to approve every holder (regulated asset model). Enable freeze capability for compliance. - Establish Reserve Backing: Work with a qualified custodian to hold 1:1 USD reserves. This is non-negotiable for a true stablecoin — every token in circulation must be backed by real dollars.
- Mint Tokens: Use the IssuanceEngine to create Payment transactions from Issuer → Distribution account. Tokens are now in circulation.
- Distribute to Holders: Users create trustlines to your issuer. Send tokens to their accounts. They can trade, transfer, or redeem.
- Audit & Attest: Use the attestation system to publish monthly reserve proofs on-chain. SHA-256 hash of audit reports anchored permanently.
- Redemption Flow: When holders want to redeem, they return tokens to the issuer. Tokens are burned. Custodian releases USD.
⚠ Important: Legal Requirements
Creating a stablecoin involves regulatory obligations. You'll need:
- Money transmitter licensing (varies by jurisdiction)
- Qualified custodian for reserve assets
- Regular third-party attestation or audits
- KYC/AML compliance procedures
- Clear terms of service and redemption policies
OPTKAS provides the technical infrastructure — issuance, management, attestation, and settlement engines — but legal compliance is the responsibility of the issuing entity.
Debt Stablecoins — A Different Model
Debt stablecoins are a specialized class of stablecoin where the token represents a debt obligation rather than a pre-funded reserve. Instead of holding $1 in a bank for every $1 token, the stablecoin is backed by collateralized debt — typically over-collateralized to maintain the peg.
💰 How Debt Stablecoins Work
- Collateral Deposit: A user deposits collateral (bonds, real estate tokens, or other accepted assets) into the system
- Borrowing Ratio: Based on the collateral value, the system allows minting of stablecoins up to a defined ratio (e.g., 150% collateralization — deposit $150 in collateral to mint $100 stablecoins)
- Over-Collateralization: OPTKAS maintains 250% over-collateralization on its borrowing base, meaning the debt is always significantly backed
- Liquidation Protection: If collateral value drops below the minimum ratio, the system triggers alerts and can liquidate collateral to maintain the peg
- Interest Accrual: The debt position accrues interest — this is how the system generates revenue and incentivizes repayment
Reserve Stablecoins vs. Debt Stablecoins
| Feature | Reserve-Backed (USDT, USDC) | Debt-Backed (OPTKAS Model) |
|---|---|---|
| Backing | 1:1 USD in bank account | Over-collateralized asset portfolio |
| Minting | Deposit USD → receive token | Deposit collateral → borrow stablecoin |
| Peg Mechanism | Direct redemption for USD | Collateral ratio + liquidation |
| Capital Efficiency | 1:1 (lower) | Leveraged (higher, but riskier) |
| Revenue Model | Interest on reserves | Interest on borrowed positions |
| Use Case | Settlement, trading, payments | Capital efficiency, leveraged positions |
| OPTKAS Support | Full (4 active trustlines) | Full (BorrowingBaseEngine + ReserveVaultEngine) |
OPTKAS uniquely supports both models. You can use existing reserve-backed stablecoins (USDT, USDC, Bitstamp, GateHub) for settlement, while also operating a debt stablecoin model through the borrowing base and reserve vault engines — with real-time collateral monitoring and automated liquidation triggers.
XRP — The Bridge Currency
While not a stablecoin, XRP plays a critical role in the OPTKAS ecosystem:
Bridge Asset
XRP acts as a universal bridge between all token pairs on the XRPL DEX. Convert between any two OPTKAS tokens via XRP intermediary routing.
AMM Pool Base
All 6 XRPL AMM pools are paired with XRP (OPTKAS/XRP, SOVBND/XRP, etc.), providing constant liquidity and algorithmic pricing.
Transaction Fuel
XRP pays for all XRPL transactions at ~$0.0002 each. Account reserves (0.2 XRP per trustline) secure account state.
Stellar & Cross-Chain
Expanded Stellar integration, regulated assets, and dual-chain architecture
Why Stellar?
While XRPL is the primary settlement chain for OPTKAS, Stellar provides capabilities that XRPL cannot. Together, they form a dual-chain architecture that gives clients the best of both worlds:
XRPL vs. Stellar — Complementary Strengths
| Capability | XRPL | Stellar |
|---|---|---|
| Settlement Speed | 3–5 seconds | 5–7 seconds |
| Token Issuance | IOUs (6 tokens) | Regulated assets (OPTKAS-USD) |
| Clawback | Not available (freeze only) | Full clawback supported |
| Authorization | Optional, limited | AUTH_REQUIRED per holder |
| Fiat On/Off Ramp | Via gateway IOUs | Native SEP-24 anchor protocol |
| Data Anchoring | Memo fields on transactions | manage_data key-value storage |
| AMM Pools | 6 pools (XLS-30) | 3 pools (OPTKAS-USD pairs) |
| DEX | Native orderbook DEX | Stellar SDEX |
| Reserve Requirement | 0.2 XRP per trustline | 0.5 XLM per trustline |
Stellar Regulated Assets
The Stellar network provides a regulated asset framework that gives issuers granular control over who can hold their tokens — a critical feature for securities:
AUTH_REQUIRED
Every holder must be individually approved before they can hold OPTKAS-USD tokens. This ensures full KYC/AML compliance — nobody can receive tokens without authorization from the issuer.
AUTH_REVOCABLE
Authorization can be revoked at any time. If a holder fails ongoing compliance checks or a regulatory order is received, their ability to transact is immediately suspended.
CLAWBACK
Unlike XRPL (which only supports freeze), Stellar allows the issuer to actively reclaim tokens from a holder's account. Essential for regulatory enforcement, court orders, and error recovery.
These three flags together make Stellar the ideal chain for regulated securities — which is exactly why OPTKAS issues OPTKAS-USD on Stellar alongside the XRPL tokens.
SEP-24 — The Fiat Bridge
SEP-24 is the Stellar Ecosystem Proposal for interactive anchor/wallet deposits and withdrawals. In plain English: it's the standardized way to move between USD in your bank account and tokens on the Stellar network.
💵 How SEP-24 Fiat On-Ramp Works
- Authentication (SEP-10): Client authenticates with the anchor using Stellar's web authentication standard — proving ownership of their Stellar account.
- KYC Verification: Anchor collects required identity information. This is a one-time process per client.
- Deposit Request: Client initiates a deposit — specifying the amount of USD to convert.
- Bank Transfer: Client sends USD to the anchor's bank account via wire or ACH.
- Token Issuance: Once USD is confirmed received, the anchor issues the equivalent stablecoin tokens to the client's Stellar account.
- On-Chain Use: Client can now trade, provide liquidity, or settle transactions using the stablecoin tokens.
💵 How SEP-24 Fiat Off-Ramp Works
- Withdrawal Request: Client initiates a withdrawal through the anchor interface.
- Token Return: Client sends stablecoin tokens back to the anchor's Stellar account.
- Token Burn: Anchor destroys the received tokens (maintaining 1:1 reserve backing).
- Fiat Transfer: Anchor sends equivalent USD to the client's bank account.
Stellar AMM Pools
OPTKAS operates 3 liquidity pools on the Stellar network, all paired with the regulated OPTKAS-USD asset:
OPTKAS-USD / XLM
Primary liquidity pool pairing the regulated OPTKAS-USD token with Stellar's native XLM asset. Main entry point for Stellar-based trading.
SOVBND-USD / XLM
Sovereign bond token pool on Stellar. Enables Stellar-native investors to access sovereign debt instruments with regulated asset compliance.
IMPERIA-USD / XLM
Asset-class pool on Stellar. Diversified exposure through Stellar's liquidity infrastructure with full authorization controls.
Dual-Chain Proof Architecture
One of the most powerful features of the OPTKAS dual-chain model is cross-chain evidence anchoring:
🔒 How Dual-Chain Proof Works
- Step 1: Every significant action (mint, settlement, attestation) generates a document hash (SHA-256)
- Step 2: Hash is anchored on XRPL via Memo-embedded transaction from the Attestation account
- Step 3: Same hash is published to Stellar via
manage_dataoperation on the Distribution account - Step 4: An XLS-20 NFT is minted (taxon 100) on XRPL as a permanent, non-transferable attestation marker
- Result: The same proof exists independently on two separate public blockchains — if either chain were compromised (impossible but hypothetically), the other still has the proof
This is institutional paranoia by design. Verification is trivial, falsification is impossible.
Cross-Chain Settlement
The OPTKAS SettlementEngine enables atomic cross-ledger transfers between XRPL and Stellar:
🔁 XRPL ↔ Stellar Transfer Flow
- 1. Client initiates a cross-chain settlement request
- 2. SettlementEngine verifies funds on the source chain
- 3. Escrow is created on the source chain (XRPL or Stellar)
- 4. Corresponding issuance is prepared on the destination chain
- 5. Both sides execute atomically — either both succeed or both revert
- 6. Proof is anchored on both chains via dual-hash attestation
This enables clients who operate on Stellar to access XRPL tokens (and vice versa) without trusting a centralized bridge operator. The settlement engine handles the coordination; the chains handle the finality.
Fee Structure
What fees exist, why they exist, and how they protect the system
Fee Philosophy
OPTKAS fees are not arbitrary. Every fee exists for a specific reason: to fund the infrastructure that protects your assets, maintain the legal structure that gives your tokens their value, and ensure the system remains operational and secure. Below is a complete breakdown of every fee, what it covers, and why it's set at the level it is.
💡 Core Principle
Fees are the cost of institutional-grade security, legal protection, and automated infrastructure. Without them, the SPV can't be maintained, custody can't be funded, insurance can't be renewed, and the technology can't be operated. Every dollar collected goes directly into keeping the system running and your assets safe.
Platform Setup Fees
These are one-time costs associated with onboarding and initial system configuration:
SPV Formation & Legal Structure
Covers Wyoming SPV registration, corporate governance documents, bond indenture preparation, UCC-1 lien filing, CUSIP/ISIN registration, and engagement of the transfer agent (Securities Transfer Corporation).
Account Infrastructure
Deployment and configuration of 9 mainnet accounts (6 XRPL + 3 Stellar), including multisig setup, flag configuration, trustline establishment, and initial XRP/XLM funding for reserves.
AMM Pool Seeding
Initial liquidity provision for all 9 AMM pools (6 XRPL + 3 Stellar). Pools require balanced initial deposits of both token sides to begin algorithmic pricing.
KYC/AML Onboarding
Identity verification, compliance screening, sanctions checks, PEP screening, and ongoing monitoring setup for each participant in the system.
Ongoing Infrastructure Fees
These fees cover the continuous operation, maintenance, and security of the platform:
Custody & Banking
Qualified custodian fees for 1:1 USD reserve management. Bank escrow maintenance. FX operations for multi-currency clients.
Insurance Premium
Annual premium for the $25.75M blanket crime/error/omission policy that covers all system operations and participants.
Engine Operations
Server infrastructure for 28 TypeScript automation engines (bond lifecycle, risk analytics, portfolio, trading, pipeline, AI). Cloud hosting, monitoring, logging, and failover systems.
Compliance & Reporting
Ongoing KYC/AML monitoring, regulatory filings, investor reports, covenant compliance tracking, and attestation publishing.
Transaction Fees
These are the smallest fees, charged at the network level for on-chain actions:
⚙ Network-Level Costs
- XRPL Transactions: ~$0.0002 per transaction (fractions of a cent). This is the native ledger fee — not set by OPTKAS.
- Stellar Transactions: ~$0.00001 per operation. Even lower than XRPL. Native Stellar network fee.
- AMM Trading Fees: Built into each pool's constant-product formula. Typically 0.3–1% per swap. These fees go to liquidity providers — including OPTKAS when it provides liquidity.
- Trustline Reserves: 0.2 XRP per XRPL trustline, 0.5 XLM per Stellar trustline. Not a fee — these are refundable reserves locked by the network.
Where Your Fees Go
Here is a transparent breakdown of how fee revenue is allocated:
Every fee supports the system that protects your investment. There are no hidden costs. There is no profit extraction that doesn't serve the platform.
Security & Infrastructure
How OPTKAS protects your assets at every level
Multi-Signature Security
No single person can move your assets. OPTKAS enforces multi-signature controls on all critical operations:
2-of-3 Standard
All normal transactions require at least 2 out of 3 authorized signers. No unilateral control. No single point of failure.
3-of-3 Config Changes
System configuration changes require ALL 3 signers. Changing account settings, signer lists, or protocol parameters demands full consensus.
1-of-3 Emergency
In an emergency, ANY single signer can freeze all operations instantly. Speed is prioritized when protecting assets under threat.
Freeze & Compliance Controls
OPTKAS has the ability to freeze individual accounts or the entire system if required:
🔨 Freeze Capabilities
- Individual Trustline Freeze (XRPL): Freeze a single holder's ability to transact specific tokens — used for compliance holds or suspicious activity
- Global Freeze (XRPL): Freeze ALL trustlines simultaneously — the nuclear option for existential threats
- Authorization Revocation (Stellar): Revoke a holder's authorization to hold OPTKAS-USD — they can still hold existing tokens but cannot transact
- Clawback (Stellar): Actively reclaim tokens from a holder's account — court orders, regulatory enforcement, error recovery
- Trading Kill Switch: Automated trading halt if losses exceed 10% — circuit breaker triggers at 5%
These controls exist to protect the system and its participants. They are governance tools, not weapons. Every freeze action is logged, hashed, and anchored on-chain — fully auditable.
Cryptographic Security
Key Generation
All cryptographic keys generated using Node.js CSPRNG (Cryptographically Secure Pseudo-Random Number Generator). Same standard used by banks.
Cold Storage
All seed phrases stored in encrypted offline cold storage. Never on-chain, never in repositories, never on connected devices.
Public-Only Codebase
The entire OPTKAS codebase operates on public addresses only. No private keys exist in source code — ever.
Pre-Flight Checks
70+ automated verification checks run before any on-chain transaction is submitted. Balances, permissions, limits, and conditions all validated automatically.
Testing & Reliability
📊 Quality Metrics
- 1,213+ Automated Tests: Comprehensive test suite covering all 28 engines, settlement flows, edge cases, and failure scenarios
- 97.4% On-Chain Success Rate: Measured across all mainnet transactions. The remaining 2.6% are handled by retry logic and error recovery
- 70+ Pre-Flight Checks: Every transaction passes through automated validation before submission
- 10,000 Monte Carlo Simulations: Risk analytics engine runs thousands of scenarios continuously to monitor portfolio health
- Continuous Monitoring: Real-time dashboards track pool depth, collateral ratios, NAV, slippage, and concentration indices
Insurance Protection
🛡 $25.75M Blanket Policy
OPTKAS maintains a $25.75 million blanket crime/error/omission insurance policy. This covers:
- Criminal activity (theft, fraud, unauthorized access)
- Operational errors (system failures, processing mistakes)
- Omissions (oversights, missed obligations)
This level of insurance coverage is extremely rare in the digital asset space. Most platforms operate with zero insurance. OPTKAS treats your assets like an institution — because that's what it is.
Default Scenario Protocol
In the unlikely event of a default, OPTKAS has a pre-defined, automatic response protocol:
🚨 Default Response — Automated Workflow
- Detection: Covenant breach detected by automated monitoring (BorrowingBaseEngine + CovenantTracker)
- Alert: All governance signers notified immediately
- Emergency Freeze: 1-of-3 emergency freeze triggers — all XRPL trustlines frozen
- Stellar Revocation: OPTKAS-USD holder authorizations revoked on Stellar
- Trading Halt: Kill switch activated — all algorithmic trading stopped
- Legal Enforcement: Off-chain legal proceedings initiated per the bond indenture
- Collateral Liquidation: Qualified custodian manages orderly liquidation of collateral
- Distribution: Proceeds distributed per waterfall priority schedule
Every step is logged, hashed, and anchored on-chain. Full audit trail from detection to resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is OPTKAS a bank?
No. OPTKAS does not accept deposits or lend directly. It is a securities platform that uses qualified third-party custodians for all asset custody.
Is OPTKAS an exchange?
No. The DEX and AMM are native features of the XRP Ledger and Stellar — OPTKAS does not operate an exchange. It provides liquidity through protocol-native AMM pools.
Who keeps my money safe?
A qualified third-party custodian holds all fiat reserves. On-chain assets are protected by multisig controls, freeze capabilities, and a $25.75M insurance policy.
Can I lose my tokens?
Your tokens are on a public blockchain. As long as you maintain custody of your wallet keys, your tokens cannot be lost or taken — unless you grant permission or a legal/regulatory action requires freeze or clawback.
How do I cash out?
Sell tokens on AMM pools for XRP or stablecoins. Convert stablecoins to fiat via SEP-24 anchor (Stellar) or gateway redemption (XRPL). Or hold until maturity for full redemption.
What if something goes wrong?
The $25.75M insurance policy covers crime, errors, and omissions. The emergency freeze protocol can halt all operations in seconds. Collateral liquidation follows a pre-defined waterfall schedule.
How do I verify the reserve backing?
Every reserve snapshot is hashed (SHA-256) and published on both XRPL and Stellar public ledgers. NFT attestations are permanent proof. Anyone can independently verify using public transaction explorer tools.

🔗 XRPL + Stellar
- XRPL: Primary settlement chain — native DEX, AMM pools (XLS-30), escrow, NFT attestations, 6 liquidity pools, 3–5 second finality
- Stellar: Regulated asset chain — AUTH_REQUIRED, AUTH_REVOCABLE, CLAWBACK, SEP-24 fiat on/off ramp, 3 liquidity pools, manage_data proof anchoring
- Dual-Chain Proof: Every significant action is hashed (SHA-256) and anchored on both chains independently — verification is trivial, falsification is impossible
- Cross-Chain Settlement: Atomic transfers between XRPL and Stellar via the SettlementEngine — both sides execute or both revert
Stablecoin Infrastructure
Four integrated stablecoin pathways enable fiat on/off ramp and settlement:
Bitstamp USD
Most established XRPL fiat gateway — direct bank integration with IOU-based settlement
GateHub USD
EU-regulated gateway with SEPA & SWIFT support — European market access
USDT & USDC
Multi-chain stablecoins with highest liquidity — accessible from any exchange ecosystem
9 Liquidity Pools
