20 SCN validators across 13 jurisdictions produce cryptographic proof of every settlement -- sub-2-second finality with 14-of-20 BFT consensus.
Visual topology of the 20-SCN validator network with CometBFT P2P consensus, RedPanda event streaming, and PostgreSQL data layer.
| Parameter | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Consensus Algorithm | CometBFT (Tendermint) | Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus |
| Total SCN Validators | 20 | Fixed SCN validator set |
| Signing Threshold | 14-of-20 (70%) | Required for block finality |
| Byzantine Tolerance | 6 SCN validators | Max faulty SCN validators tolerated |
| Block Time | 1.5 seconds | Target block interval |
| Max Block Size | 10 MB | Maximum transactions per block |
| Max Transactions | 10,000/block | Transaction throughput limit |
| Double Sign Slash | 5% | Stake slashed for equivocation |
| Downtime Slash | 1% | Stake slashed for extended downtime |
SCN Validators span 13 jurisdictions across 6 continents, each operating under its local regulatory framework.
| Jurisdiction | Region | SCN Validators | Regulatory Framework |
|---|---|---|---|
| CH Switzerland | Europe | 2 | FINMA (Primary HQ) |
| AE Abu Dhabi (ADGM) | Middle East | 2 | FSRA |
| SG Singapore | Asia-Pacific | 2 | MAS |
| US United States | North America | 2 | FinCEN / State MTL |
| IN India | South Asia | 2 | RBI / SEBI |
| BR Brazil | South America | 2 | CVM / BCB |
| ZA South Africa | Africa | 2 | FSCA |
| GB United Kingdom | Europe | 1 | FCA |
| DE Germany | Europe | 1 | BaFin / MiCA |
| JP Japan | Asia-Pacific | 1 | FSA / JFSA |
| AU Australia | Asia-Pacific | 1 | ASIC |

| PH Philippines | Southeast Asia | 1 | BSP |
No single region or vendor can block consensus. The network survives the loss of any 6 SCN validators.
| Region | SCN Validators | % of Network | Can Block Consensus? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Europe (CH, UK, DE) | 4 | 20% | No (need 7+ to block) |
| Asia-Pacific (SG, JP, AU, PH, IN) | 7 | 35% | No (need 7+ to block) |
| Middle East (UAE) | 2 | 10% | No |
| North America (US, CA) | 3 | 15% | No |
| South America (BR) | 2 | 10% | No |
| Africa (ZA) | 2 | 10% | No |
| Vendor | SCN Validators | % of Network | Single Vendor Failure Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hetzner | 8 | 40% | Network continues (12 remaining) |
| AWS | 6 | 30% | Network continues (14 remaining = threshold) |
| Azure | 3 | 15% | Network continues (17 remaining) |
| Others (DO, Vultr, Linode) | 3 | 15% | Distributed across 3 vendors |
Every settlement produces multiple proof artifacts that can be independently verified.
| Proof Type | Generated By | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Finality Receipt | Settlement Engine | Cryptographic proof of irreversible settlement with SCN validator signatures |
| ZK Compliance Proof | ATCE Engine | Proves regulatory compliance without revealing private data |
| Consensus Attestation | CometBFT | 14-of-20 Ed25519 signatures from SCN validator set |
| Receipt Hash | Ledger Service | SHA-256 digest of the complete settlement record |
| Compliance Ref | Proof Verifier | ZK proof reference hash for audit trail |
