The worst case is bad trades, not lost funds.

STAXIS's security architecture is shaped by one principle — and the non-custodial design is its structural foundation.

On top of that architectural bound, we operate concentric defensive perimeters and the five control domains below.

Concentric defense

Layered perimeters, outermost to innermost.

Each request crosses every layer before it can reach a secret. The non-custodial design sits beneath all of them as the final bound.

Operational controls

Five control domains.

Secret management

  • All customer API keys (CEX) stored in HashiCorp Vault Transit.
  • All keys encrypted at rest (Vault-managed).
  • Per-customer encryption keys; never cross-customer accessible.
  • LLM keys (OpenRouter BYOK) stored the same way.

Access control

  • Customer accounts: multi-factor auth (TOTP) mandatory.
  • Internal access: SSO with hardware-key enforcement (Yubikey / similar).
  • Least-privilege principle: production access scoped to specific roles.
  • Audit log on all access events.

Infrastructure

  • AWS us-east-2 + eu-west-1 (multi-region Phase 2).
  • VPC isolation; no public Internet access to internal services.
  • TLS 1.3 minimum on all external endpoints.
  • DDoS protection (Cloudflare).

Incident response

  • 24/7 alerting on production anomalies.
  • Under 2-hour business escalation; under 8-hour weekend / holiday.
  • Customer notification per incident-severity matrix (Critical = within 24h).
  • Post-incident report published per Calibration Report cadence.

Code integrity

  • All production code signed.
  • CI/CD pipeline with automated tests + property tests for risk-critical modules.
  • Code review required for all production changes.
  • Dependency vulnerability scanning (Dependabot).
