🏨Layered Architecture: The PayFi Stack
Xalther’s design follows a six-layer vertical architecture, with each layer solving a specific pain point in real-world financial flows:
Transaction
Layer
High-performance settlement
-
Built on high-throughput L1s such as Solana, Stellar, and EVM-compatible chains for real-time execution
-
Finality in under 1 second, sub-$0.001 fees
-
Native support for recurring, multi-party, and tokenized payments
Currency Layer
Stable and programmable value
-
Supports regulated stablecoins (e.g., USDC, PYUSD)
-
Compatible with programmable stablecoin frameworks (e.g., Circle’s CCTP, PayPal's conditional disbursement model)
-
Fiat-backed assets ensure price stability and off-chain interoperability
Custody Layer
Secure and decentralized asset management
-
Employs multi-party computation (MPC) and smart contract escrow systems
-
Integrates with providers like Fireblocks, Ledger, and protocol-native custody vaults
-
Enables shared custody and multi-signer control without compromising transaction speed
Compliance
Layer
Regulatory integration at the protocol level
-
Embedded KYC/AML tools through Chainalysis, Polyflow, and identity bridges
-
Support for soulbound tokens (SBTs) and decentralized identity (DID) standards (e.g., ERC-725, Verifiable Credentials)
-
Enables jurisdiction-specific policy enforcement, blacklists, and sanctions compliance
Financing
Layer
On-chain credit rails
-
Automated underwriting using on-chain behavioral data, repayment history, and protocol-defined heuristics
-
Credit scoring algorithms assign real-time risk tiers to income streams and borrowers
-
Loan origination, distribution, and repayment fully governed by smart contracts
-
Capital source-agnostic: retail LPs, DAOs, or institutional vaults
Application
Layer
Modular Interfaces for Fintechs, DAOs, and Enterprise Finance
-
Open APIs and SDKs to integrate Xalther into fintech apps, DAOs, DePIN systems, and ERP platforms
-
Supports modular UI components for invoicing, payroll, and embedded financing
-
Enables seamless rollout of Web3-native financial products with compliance and infrastructure abstracted
