# 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. | Feature | Individual Investor | Business Issuer | | ---------------------- | ---------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | 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: 1. DID validation 2. Compliance rule enforcement 3. 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: 1. STV3 validates who is eligible 2. Operational Vault executes stablecoin payments 3. 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. *** {% embed url="" %}
