The Seven-Layer Ecosystem Operating System.

A permissioned blockchain platform built on Hyperledger Fabric.

Most platforms are one block of software, so changing one part risks breaking the rest. Istakapaza is built in seven loosely coupled layers on a permissioned blockchain. Each layer does one job, identity, contracts, marketplace or integration, and can be upgraded on its own without breaking the trust model.

The Seven Layers

Each layer evolves independently.

The top four layers are vertical and configured per ecosystem. The bottom three are horizontal and shared by every ecosystem.

Each layer rests on the wider one beneath it: integration and identity at the base carry every marketplace built on top.

Trust, Move, Finance

Three layers turn an asset into capital.

The seven layers serve one purpose. An asset is made trusted at creation, movable across participants and financeable by capital.

01

Creation: Trust

The asset is made verifiable at the point it is created: identity for every party, an asset container, and diligence anchored once and reused.

02

Mobility: Move

The container travels between participants under shared rules: smart contracts, marketplaces and integration with ERPs, banks, logistics and insurers.

03

Capital: Finance

Verified, movable assets are opened to capital: pooling and structuring, distribution, and servicing on the record.

The Technology Stack

What runs where, from the ledger to long-horizon trust.

01

Blockchain Core

Hyperledger Fabric v2.5 LTS runs in production, with a v3.x upgrade path that adds BFT ordering and Ed25519. A five-node Raft cluster orders transactions and data is anchored to geographic regions. Why permissioned.

02

Privacy And Integrity

PII stays off chain, documents are cryptographically anchored, visibility is permissioned by role and auditor nodes verify without unrestricted access.

03

Smart Contracts

Policy runs as code. Pricing, credit, incentives, compliance and settlements are enforced at the point of transaction, with e-signature and e-stamp integrated.

04

Commerce Layer

Ecommerce (B2C), the ecosystem marketplace (B2B and B2B2C) and the asset-based marketplace (issuance and secondary exchange) share one foundation.

05

GenAI Middleware

CoPilots, agents and autonomous AI employees, plus integration mapping, transformation and reporting. This is AskIsta.

06

Forward-Looking Architecture

Quantum-resilient wallets and channels and cryptographic agility are on the roadmap.

How It Integrates And Scales

The platform connects to existing systems without rip and replace.

Systems It Connects To

ERP: SAP, Oracle, MicrosoftCRM: Salesforce, DynamicsPayments And TreasuryLogistics NetworksRegulatory PortalsIndustry Core Platforms

Integration Methods

REST and GraphQL, events with ordering and replay, bulk loads, pre-built adapters, webhooks and sandbox certification for partners. Read more.

Performance

Interactive endpoints respond under 200 ms at P95, with P99 and P999 tracked, at-least-once delivery with ordering, and hot paths isolated from batch workloads.

CeDeFAI

One lifecycle runs on two rails with AI in the middle.

The same asset lifecycle runs on a CeFi rail for regulated trust and, where appropriate, a DeFi rail for programmable liquidity. AskIsta serves both. The DeFi rail is operated by Pazalabs, our research and innovation partner.
