Why GSX for CBDCs

Built for central banks and financial institutions who demand enterprise-grade infrastructure with regulatory compliance at its core.

Compliance-first by design

Policy logic and KYC/AML are enforced before settlement. Attestations from permissioned Authority Nodes ensure transactions meet jurisdictional rules before PoS finalizes.

Finality and scale for FMI-grade workloads

Thousands of TPS targets with deterministic, BFT-style finality and 99.99% availability design goals, including failover and self-healing.

Interoperability without bridges

GSX natively writes settlement instructions to destination chains—no custodians, multisigs, or relayers; unified zk-proof audit trail.

How GSX Works

Explore the technical workflow that enables secure, compliant, and efficient cross-chain settlement without traditional bridge dependencies.

1

Lock/Burn on source

Initiate the transaction by locking or burning tokens on the source chain (e.g., domestic CBDC ledger). This ensures the total supply remains consistent across chains.

2

Compliance & Access (GSX PoA)

KYC, jurisdiction, and origin metadata are enforced through GSX's Proof of Authority consensus. Only authorized nodes can validate compliance requirements.

3

Proof generation (ZK)

Generate zero-knowledge proofs to validate transaction validity without exposing private data, ensuring privacy while maintaining regulatory compliance.

4

Finalization (GSX PoS)

ZK-augmented Byzantine Fault Tolerant finality through GSX's Proof of Stake consensus mechanism ensures deterministic settlement with cryptographic guarantees.

5

Native write to target chain

Mint or credit tokens directly on the destination chain without requiring bridges, custodians, or intermediaries. Direct settlement instructions are written natively.

Policy Trust Framework

Institutional Confidence

GSX combines institutional oversight with cryptographic immutability, ensuring that policy decisions are made by qualified authorities while settlement mechanics remain tamper-proof. This dual-layer approach provides the regulatory certainty that central banks require while maintaining the technical integrity that makes blockchain settlement reliable.

Democratic Governance

Council voting ensures no single institution controls network policy, while central bank authority addresses systemic risk concerns.

Immutable Settlement

Once transactions achieve cryptographic finality, they cannot be reversed through governance, ensuring settlement certainty for all participants.
