Wallet Architecture & Transaction Model
The wallet architecture of Stobox 4 is designed to provide secure, compliant, and predictable custody and transaction flows for all participants in the tokenized asset ecosystem. The system uses two specialized wallet types - MPC Wallets for individuals and Operational Vaults for businesses, each optimized for its specific role within the platform.
Unlike traditional blockchain applications, where wallets operate freely and independently, Stobox 4 wallets operate within a regulated, identity-bound environment, where all actions pass through compliance validation and interact seamlessly with STV3 programmable-asset logic.
Overview of Wallet Architecture
There are two core wallet models within Stobox 4:
MPC Wallets - issued to individual investors
Operational Vaults (Embedded Wallets) - issued to corporate issuers
Each performs a different function and is subject to different rules and controls.
Wallet Type
MPC Wallet
Operational Vault (Embedded Wallet)
Purpose
Custody of assets & payments
Settlement, payouts, operational balances
Holds Tokenized Assets
Yes
No
Holds Stablecoins
Yes
Yes
Controlled By
Individual
Business operators
Compliance Checks
DID-based
DID-based
Interaction With STV3
Direct token custody
Triggering corporate actions
This dual architecture ensures secure custody for individuals and properly controlled financial operations for businesses.
MPC Wallets for Individuals
MPC wallets (Multi-Party Computation wallets) provide individuals with secure, self-custodial storage for both stablecoins and tokenized assets.
Key Characteristics
No seed phrase
Private key never exists as a single piece
Multi-party cryptographic signing
High resistance to compromise
Direct integration with STV3 transfers
Role in Stobox 4
MPC wallets are used for:
participating in STOs
receiving tokenized assets (STV3 tokens)
holding tokenized securities or other programmable assets
receiving distributions from issuers
executing transfers (if permitted by STV3)
interacting with lifecycle events (voting, redemption, claims)
Compliance Integration
Every action initiated from an MPC wallet triggers:
DID validation
Compliance rule enforcement
STV3 contract authorization
Therefore, even though the investor has custody of their assets, they cannot perform actions that violate asset rules.
Operational Vaults (Embedded Wallets) for Businesses
Businesses do not receive MPC wallets. Instead, they operate through Operational Vaults, which are secure, embedded Fireblocks wallets designed for financial operations, not token custody.
What the Vault Holds
Stablecoins (USDC, etc.)
Native tokens for gas
Operational balances
What the Vault Does Not Hold
Tokenized assets
Security tokens
STV3 balances
Token control is always on-chain through the STV3 protocol, not stored in any issuer wallet.
Vault Use Cases
The Operational Vault is used for:
receiving investor subscription funds
executing distributions (dividends, interest, revenue share)
making redemption or repayment payouts
covering gas fees for deployments and corporate actions
facilitating settlement during STOs
Why Issuers Do Not Custody Their Own Tokens
To ensure:
regulatory safety
auditability
immutability of token rights
avoidance of improper access or manipulation
STV3 handles all token issuance, treasury logic, freezing, redemption, and burning.
Transaction Pathways in Stobox 4
Transactions within Stobox 4 follow a structured model. They fall into three major categories:
Payment Transactions (Stablecoins)
Flow: Investor MPC Wallet → Issuer Vault → (Issuer actions)
Used for:
STO subscriptions
distributions
redemptions
refunds
payouts
Every stablecoin movement undergoes:
DID-based validation
KYT transaction risk checks
Offering or asset-specific compliance logic
Token Transactions (STV3 Assets)
Flow: STV3 Contract → Investor MPC Wallet
Token transfers never bypass STV3.
They require:
identity validation
rule-based authorization
compliance checks
event-specific constraints
Examples:
STO allocation
vesting releases
redemptions
P2P transfers (if enabled)
Hybrid Transactions
Some actions require both wallets and smart contracts, e.g.:
distributing dividends
executing corporate buybacks
redemptions of debt tokens
Flow:
STV3 validates who is eligible
Operational Vault executes stablecoin payments
STV3 updates token balances accordingly
Compliance Enforcement in Every Transaction
Transaction security in Stobox 4 is not only cryptographic—it is regulatory.
Every action, whether a stablecoin movement or token movement, is validated through three enforcement layers:
Layer 1: Identity (DID)
Ensures:
the actor is verified
jurisdiction rules apply
investor category is appropriate
Layer 2: Compliance Rules
Checks:
eligibility
offering-specific limitations
lock-ups, vesting, blacklisting
maximum holding or investment limits
Layer 3: Smart Contract Authorization (STV3)
If any rule fails, the contract rejects the transaction.
This ensures:
no unauthorized transfer
no illegal subscription
no non-compliant distribution
no transfer to a sanctioned or unverified party
This model goes beyond traditional crypto wallets, creating regulated digital value flows.
Gas, Fees, and Execution Considerations
Issuers
Operational Vaults hold gas for:
deploying STV3 contracts
executing distributions
minting or burning tokens
managing treasury operations
Investors
Investors’ MPC wallets hold:
enough gas to receive assets
gas for transfers (if allowed)
Gas usage is optimized to avoid unnecessary costs and to ensure predictable operations.
Security & Safeguards
Stobox 4 integrates advanced protection across all wallet types:
For MPC Wallets
multi-party signing
no seed phrase risk
wallet recovery flows
isolation of cryptographic shares
API guardrails
For Operational Vaults
Fireblocks secure-enclave signing
role-based transaction approval policies
internal segregation of duties
comprehensive audit logs
For Tokenized Assets
STV3 enforces all token-level security
DID validation prevents unauthorized holders
immutable event history supports audits
Together, these layers form a security model suitable for regulated financial markets.
Summary
The wallet architecture of Stobox 4 combines MPC wallets for individuals with Operational Vaults for businesses, creating a secure, compliant, and predictable environment for managing tokenized assets and stablecoin-based settlements. All value flows are governed by DID identity checks, compliance rules, and STV3 on-chain authorization, ensuring that every action - from STO subscriptions to corporate distributions operates within a legally aligned and technically enforced framework. This approach provides institutional security, regulatory integrity, and a streamlined user experience across the entire tokenization ecosystem.
