Compute and processing
AWS Lambda supports scalable microservices and backend processing; Amazon SQS supports decoupled asynchronous processing.
Resource 07 · Technology and security
Enterprise infrastructure without an enterprise build program.
Fractional Assets is built on technology originally developed to support a regulated real-world asset platform in Australia. The architecture was designed around scalability, security, automation and integration rather than a public crypto exchange model.
Architecture
Cloud-native services and ledger integration.
The core environment uses AWS serverless technologies and microservices with integration to the Stellar ledger. It supports multiple user-facing and administrative applications, including investor onboarding, asset assessment, finance/investment, administration and settlement workflows.
Data and objects
DynamoDB provides high-performance, highly available data storage, while Amazon S3 provides durable encrypted object storage.
Identity and communications
AWS Cognito supports identity and multi-factor authentication; Amazon SNS and SES support notifications and transactional communications.
Encryption and protection
AWS KMS supports encryption-key management and AWS WAF provides protection against common web and application threats.
Automation
Automate repeatable journeys while retaining human validation where required.
Onboarding and verification
Investor onboarding, identity verification, KYC and wallet creation.
Investment operations
Asset/property assessment, digital transactions and smart-contract execution.
Communications and delivery
Notifications, deployment pipelines and automated end-to-end testing.
Governance controls
Human validation checkpoints can be retained for compliance-sensitive processes.
Security controls
Layered controls for an approved operating model.
Identity and permissions
Multi-factor authentication and least-privilege IAM controls.
Encryption
TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest through AWS KMS.
Security services
AWS GuardDuty, AWS Macie, AWS Security Hub, AWS Trusted Advisor and AWS WAF.
Assurance practices
Vulnerability scanning using Snyk, penetration testing, secure coding controls, multi-step transaction verification and protected KYC data handling.
Investor experience
The technology should be invisible to the investor.
Investors should not need to understand blockchain to use the platform. They should see a familiar branded investment application. The complexity belongs underneath.
