system architecture

Components:

  • Traders: Within the system, there are multiple traders (for simplification we have 2), referred to as Trader 1 and Trader 2.
  • Agents: Agents play a pivotal role in facilitating trades between the two traders. Agents match orders for trades.
  • Blockchain: The architecture prominently features a blockchain component, central to various fund-related operations.

Actions:

  1. Trade Initiation: A trade is initiated by one of the traders, placing a trade is equivalent to locking funds in escrows.
  2. Agent Notification: The agent corresponding to trader receives a notification regarding the initiated trade.
  3. Trade Placement: Trade is being placed by another trader in the system
  4. Agent Notification: The second agent is notified of the trade.
  5. Agent Matching: The agents match forming a trade match, suggesting a successful pairing of buy and sell orders.
  6. Message Signing: Agent 1 signs message and confirms Agent 2 to execute funds transfer.
  7. Fund Release Order: Funds are directed to be released after a successful trade match.
  8. Fund Release: Funds are released, from escrow to the opposing party.
