Description
Pakana is a private payment infrastructure project built on Stellar Protocol 25, designed to enable non-custodial, zero-knowledge verifiable settlement. Its split-brain architecture separates an API-dark Primary Node, which handles confidential workflows and proof verification off-chain, from read-only Satellite endpoints that expose replicated verification state for dashboards, APIs, and integrations. The system emphasizes evidence-based, on-chain verifiable state rather than fabricated metrics, and has received an SCF BUILD Award. Pakana targets a range of client use cases, including legal and escrow trust accounting with tokenized disbursement tracking and immutable audit trails; real estate and construction industries needing multi-party, multi-signature payment approvals and permanent project records; cross-border payments enabling instant USDC settlement via MoneyGram's global network with compliance built in; and IP and licensing protection through decentralized, timestamped proof of ownership for software, patents, and trade secrets. The platform is built for developers, autonomous agents, and compliance/risk teams evaluating private payments infrastructure.Grant Funding
