  • FX cost optimization
  • Liquidity availability
  • SRI-based risk weighting

Layer 3 – Finality Layer

• Atomic settlement achieved when:
  • SCB ledger posts
  • DBIS Master Ledger posts
  • Hash-lock matches

Supported Payment Types

Priority Tiers

• Tier 1: Sovereign & systemic transactions
• Tier 2: Interbank transactions
• Tier 3: Retail CBDC traffic during peak hours

Queue Algorithm

priority = systemic_value + fx_cost_penalty + liquidity_weight + SRI_adjustment

Real-Time Risk Controls

M-RTGS monitors:

• Transaction velocity
• Liquidity congestion
• FX slip
• Commodity price shocks
• CBDC abnormal routing patterns

Implementation

3. Sovereign Cloud Infrastructure (SCI)

Purpose

SCI is DBIS' planetary-scale sovereign cloud, providing:

• High-security compute
• Isolated sovereign runtime environments
• Global redundancy
• PQC-secured compute fabric

Architecture

Sovereign Compute Zones (SCZs)

• One per SCB
• Zero-trust isolation
• PQ-HSM for key operations

Global Replication Grid (GRG)

• DBIS-led multi-region replication
• Metadata hashing every 30 seconds

Sovereign EVM (SEVM)

• Smart contract execution for:
  • CBDC workflows
  • FX swaps
  • Commodity token redemptions
  • Settlement contracts

Security

• TPM-backed nodes
• PQ-encrypted channels (Kyber)
• Cross-zone firewalls
• Continuous integrity attestations

Implementation

Location: src/infrastructure/sovereign-cloud/

Services:

• sci-zone-manager.service.ts - Zone management

4. ZK-CBDC Validation Framework

Purpose

Zero-Knowledge CBDC Validation ensures privacy-preserving compliance by enabling:

• Balance verification without revealing balances
• Transaction compliance without revealing transaction history
• ZK-enabled AML and sanctions screening

ZK Validation Modes

Mode 1 – ZK-Balance Proofs (zkBP)

• Proves wallet has sufficient funds without revealing amount

Mode 2 – ZK-Compliance Proofs (zkCP)

• Ensures:
  • AML rules satisfied
  • Sanctions clear
  • Transaction within policy limits

Mode 3 – ZK-Identity Proofs (zkIP)

• Provides confirmation that wallet belongs to verified entity
• Without disclosing identity attributes

Smart Contract Verification

Smart contracts validate:

if zkBP && zkCP && zkIP:
    execute_CBDC_transfer()

Implementation

Location: src/core/cbdc/zk-validation/

Services:

• zk-balance-proof.service.ts - zkBP generation
• zk-compliance-proof.service.ts - zkCP generation
• zk-identity-proof.service.ts - zkIP generation
