Open Arsenal Blockchain Specifications

The blockchain specifications describe a modular institutional infrastructure built around eliminating single points of control in both custody and transaction authority. Instead of relying on conventional private-key ownership, the system uses Distributed Multi-Party Computation (MPC) where key material is fragmented across multiple institution-controlled nodes. Because no complete key ever exists in a single location, the platform itself cannot independently sign or reconstruct assets. All operational activity, including transfers, approvals, and settlements, is enforced through policy-driven controls, structured audit logs, and role-based authorization layers rather than centralized custodial access.

Beyond custody, the specifications extend into a broader framework for regulated digital asset infrastructure. This includes support for tokenizing real-world assets such as property, investment vehicles, and structured financial products, along with interoperability across multiple blockchain networks. The system is designed to operate across deployment environments including on-premise, sovereign cloud, and hybrid configurations, while embedding compliance automation, programmable settlement logic, and governance workflows directly into the infrastructure layer. Overall, the architecture prioritizes institutional control, regulatory alignment, and cross-chain portability while maintaining cryptographic verification, transparency, and auditability without dependence on any single vendor or centralized operator.
