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.
