onTradeRequest a Briefing
Technology

A hybrid architecture built for institutional reality.

OnTrade combines on-chain verifiability with off-chain execution performance. Policy and settlement are enforced by the protocol; routing and matching run on infrastructure that meets institutional latency and throughput requirements.

Layers

Four layers. One coherent rail.

01
Policy layer

On-chain, versioned, auditable. Encodes institutional mandates as enforceable constraints. Every account action is checked against policy before it settles.

02
Execution layer

Off-chain, low-latency routing and matching. Inherits policy guarantees from the account boundary. Multi-venue aware — integrates with on-chain venues, dealer rails, and tokenization platforms.

03
Confidentiality layer

Encrypted computation (FHE) for pre-trade intent and price discovery. Used by STN for confidential matching across counterparties.

04
Settlement & proof layer

On-chain finality and cryptographic execution evidence. Feeds institutional audit, reporting, and best-ex review.

Standards

Open, composable, institutionally aligned.

Account abstraction

ERC-4337 and modular account patterns for programmable policy enforcement at the account boundary.

Confidential compute

FHE-based execution for pre-trade intent, order matching, and counterparty privacy.

Verifiable automation

Deterministic, attestable execution triggers for mandate-driven workflows.

Open integrations

Designed to interoperate with custodians, OMS/EMS, wallets, and venue APIs.

Multi-chain ready

Execution and settlement footprint extensible across institutional-grade chains.

Audit-first telemetry

Every action produces deterministic, signed evidence for downstream compliance systems.
