Docs/Institutional Settlement/Payment and Clearing Node Composition

Payment and Clearing Node Composition

Production Track

Institutional flows are decomposed into dedicated nodes to isolate operational concerns.

Objective

Separate transaction initiation from netting logic while preserving atomic settlement handoff.

Payment Node

Handles inbound instruction normalization, validation, and dispatch toward commitment and settlement services.

Supports multiple payment types while preserving a common internal instruction schema.

Clearing House Node

Collects obligations, computes multilateral net positions, and emits settlement legs for execution windows.

Batch controls define cycle cadence, participation windows, and reconciliation thresholds.

Conservation Guarantees

Every cycle must maintain conservation proofs where aggregate net across participants equals zero before settlement release.

Violation paths stop progression and surface exception workflows for operator intervention.

Production Checkpoints

  • Obligation intake and netting are traceable per cycle
  • Cycle execution cannot proceed with conservation mismatch
  • Participant-level reports reconcile with settlement legs
  • Operational exceptions are human-reviewable
