Technology Platform & Investment process

Aptus Capital Technology:

The backbone of Aptus Capital Platform is a private blockchain. It is a state-of-the-art blockchain platform that allows you to perform tokenization. Issue, transfer and exchange tokenized assets with a high level of privacy, security and auditability while following regulations of various jurisdictions.

Backbone

Platform’s backbone is a highly modular system built using microservices architecture. The backbone can be divided into two parts: DLT-based logic (node) responsible for the key functionalities such as tokenized securities management and distribution, rights management, vouchers etc.; auxiliary modules, which interconnect DLT with external systems through API like payment gateway, store user data, etc.

Node is a key component of the platform. It processes transactions, manages history, and provides an easy to use API to access the blockchain data. It consists of two modules:

Core — a replicated state machine that maintains a local copy of the cryptographic ledger and processes transactions against it in consensus with a set of peers. It implements the federated consensus protocol and is responsible for tokens accounting and roles management.

Horizon — the client-facing REST API server. It acts as an interface between the core and applications that want to access the network. It allows submitting transactions to the network, checking the status of accounts, and viewing transaction history.

Security

The Platform provides an unprecedented level of security. It is achieved by the combination of using private blockchain, two-factor authentication, biosymetric, SSL protocol for data transfer and cryptographic protection of accounts and assets.

Data integrity

All data is stored securely on the blockchain, which means, that data is immutable and no one can falsify the record about a transaction after it has been made. One of the reasons, why we use private blockchain, is that it is impossible to access the system from outside to steal or influence the data.

The information transferred and stored on the server doesn’t present value for an attacker because it is encrypted by the keys which are known ONLY to a user.

Keys management

Each operation on the platform is signed by keys. Only the keys owner is able to perform operations associated with their account. Keys are stored on a server, but only a user has access. The server is only a custodian storing encrypted keys which only a user knows how to decrypt. And the password is safe, because it is stored on the user`s device and never leaves it, so there is no point for the attacker in listening to communication between user and client because no sensitive data is transferred.

To confirm an operation an encrypted key is transferred to the user, there it is decrypted and used to confirm the operation, and from a user to the server, only the mere fact of confirming operation is transferred. That is how a password never leaves a user`s device.

Fund’s safety

All funds are stored securely with Aptus Capital’s partner bank and monitored through our Exchange and custodian operation, and available at any moment through user’s account. Funds are safe as it never leaves the custodian and partner’ bank if there is no instruction from investor himself.

Compliance

Aptus Capital Platform has technical capabilities to ensure full compliance with existing corporate laws & regulations.

KYC/AML integration

The Aptus Capital Platform is integrated with external KYC/AML providers, that perform a check of investors and let only trusted parties to our ecosystem.

Tokenized securities mechanics

Verification differs for retail and professional investors, as the latter have to upload more documents that prove their financial viability.
