Root repository of EOS implementation of Financial Securities Protocol - an open-source blueprint for issue and life-cycle management of self-sovereign securities. First and foremost, FSP helps mitigate the undesired side-effects of "paper dependency" and increase the velocity, efficiency and liquidity of represented financial instruments.
Consisting of a number of base modules, fsp.network provides a foundation of Financial Securities Protocol.
The security contract defines the most generic of methods required for life-cycle management of securities. Where appropriate, instances of fsp.security may call fsp.regulator to validate various operations, such as sending, issuing and receiving.
The regulator is a module responsible for constraining various actions, such that FSP entities can be self-sovereign. Methods of fsp.regulator implementations get called in various methods of fsp.security. The relationship between security and regulator contracts is intended to be surjective, meaning that more than one security contract may be assigned to a single regulator contract.
Directly supporting fsp.regulator contract, fsp.registry provides an entry point for counter party verification, thus mapping real-world correspondance to entities living on the prtocol. In addition, Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering (KYC / AML) stages of on-boarding are performed by validated partner parties off-chain in relevant jurisdictions. A party will have access to a relevant suit of FSP functionality once it gets successfully on-boarded.
The communication component of FSP allows for prompt communication between various modules and the users. Topics of communication can vary according to the event that triggers the communication and side-effects such as emails and other correpondance. Sensitive data may be handled via public-private key cryptography, such that only recipient of data can read view it.
Point of liquidity for instances of fsp.security. Provides a suit of exchange operations, which rely on any securities exchange constraints defined within fsp.regulator contract.
The following diagram suggests the intended usage and relationship between modules:
Financial Securities Protocol Proposals (FS2P) are encouraged to be submitted in order to refine functionality of exisiting modules. Widely accepted proposals will be implemented.
