Action & Transaction Layer

Action & Transaction Layer

Executes transactions with appropriate constraints, ensuring safe automation while enabling useful workflows.

2 primitives1 established1 operationalized

Layer Principles

  • •Action Constraints: Explicit allowed/forbidden actions
  • •Owner Confirmation: Human approval for significant actions
  • •Atomic State Transitions: Consistent state changes
  • •Non-Binding Workflows: Enable assistance without commitment

Governance & Control Layer

Determines who controls canonical representations and how safety, fairness, and accountability are ensured across all layers.

Representation Layer

Encodes market-relevant information in machine-readable form optimized for AI reasoning rather than human browsing.

Layer Architecture

The seven layers form an interconnected architecture. Primitives in this layer connect to Governance & Control Layer and Representation Layer.
