Rudra whitepaper(living document)

Exchange: an order-book trading terminal with charts, limited to assets verified by Rudra.

Swap: Stellar path payments between any two listed assets, with a minimum-received limit.

Assets: a curated catalog of tens of thousands of tokens from more than 260 issuer domains, with trustline management.

Policy library: Terms, Privacy, Compliance Hub, Risk Disclosure, Listing Policy, Transparency and Security.

Web client: a React interface that builds transactions in the browser for the user to sign.

Network access: Stellar Horizon for balances, order books, trades and transaction submission.

Edge layer: Cloudflare functions that cache and compress market data and serve the asset catalog from a database.

Asset metadata: issuer stellar.toml files, with every listed asset checked against the Stellar network.

Execution model: user-signed transactions with self-custody wallet control.

Rudra.exchange is non-custodial; keys and signing stay with users.

Settlement finality depends on the Stellar network and on users signing what they intend.

Issuer-published metadata may be incomplete, stale or malicious.

Users must verify asset codes, issuer accounts and home domains before trading.
