Good financial infrastructure depends on where responsibilities sit - and what each layer is allowed to control. cSigma’s architecture is built around five design decisions: -> Non-custodial: Funds are held and managed through smart contracts, rather than being controlled by the backend. -> Private by design: KYC data stays offchain -> Onchain enforcement: Access rules are enforced by smart contracts -> Liquidity-aware withdrawals: Withdrawal requests are queued when available reserves are insufficient and processed in first-in, first-out (FIFO) order as liquidity becomes available. -> Batch operations: Multiple user actions can be processed efficiently For users, this means greater visibility into their positions, access rules enforced through smart contracts, and a transparent order for processing queued withdrawals.
