Nova Pilot Consumer — Blockchain Stock Exchange
Milestone: v1.26 — Live Pilot Estate Activation Git: https://git.cloudinit.dev/continuous-intelligence/nova-blockchain-exchange Local clone: /root/nova-blockchain-exchange Role: The first real consumer estate. A stock exchange built on a homegrown blockchain, offering equities trading (pilot scope). The consumer repo owns the app code +
contract.yaml; the Nova platform (acdlrepo) provides the deploy workflow, policy engine, and attestation gates.
Vision / Core Value
A self-contained securities-trading exchange where every order, match, and settlement is recorded as an immutable transaction on a homegrown Proof-of-Authority (PoA) blockchain. The pilot demonstrates that Nova's autonomous infrastructure can take a real consumer estate from contract to production — apply, attest, record — without an operator in the loop of normal operations.
North Star Alignment
- Strategic Objective #1 (production-grade zero-touch operations): this estate is the first real consumer; the pilot activates the autonomy claim beyond internal demos.
- Strategic Objective #2 (provable trust): every apply decision + attestation lands in the Decision Ledger; the settlement-finality kyverno-json policy (IDEATE) makes trust a policy artifact.
- Strategic Objective #3 (compounding ROI): unblocks the three Post-Pilot targets (Touchless Resolution ≥99%, Human Escalation <0.1%, AI Decision Accuracy ≥99.5%) — the denominators activate when this estate runs.
Domain Boundaries
- This repo owns: the blockchain (consensus, blocks, transactions),
the order-matching engine, the settlement service, the
contract.yamlthat declares the infrastructure, and the consumer-side deploy workflow invocation (uses: acdl/.github/workflows/deploy.yml@v1.25). - The platform (
acdl) repo owns: the deploy workflow, the policy engine (kyverno-json), the contract resolver, the adapter, the confidence signal, the HITL gates, and the Decision Ledger.
Scope: v1.26 Pilot
- Equities only (bonds, derivatives, options deferred to future milestones — different settlement models).
- Minimal PoA ledger — append-only blocks, single validator (pilot), T+1 settlement finality = block commit. No multi-validator BFT.
- Homegrown chain — authored as part of this repo, not deployed on Ethereum/Solana/Hyperledger.
Anti-Goals (v1.26)
- Not a general-purpose blockchain platform — purpose-built for securities settlement in the pilot.
- Not multi-validator consensus — single validator for the pilot.
- Not bonds/derivatives/options — equities only this milestone.
- Not a replacement for the Nova platform — this is a consumer of Nova, not a fork.
Key Decisions (v1.26 — established in SPECIFY, refined in CLARIFY)
| ID | Decision | Rationale | Affects |
|---|---|---|---|
| D-200 | Pilot scope = equities only | Bonds/derivatives/options have very different settlement models; equities (T+1) is the simplest to demonstrate the Nova platform's policy gates over a real estate. | Phase count; requirement scope. |
| D-201 | Homegrown PoA ledger (single validator) | Minimal viable chain for a pilot; settlement finality = block commit. Multi-validator BFT is a future milestone. | Blockchain core design. |
| D-202 | Consumer repo = nova-blockchain-exchange (Gitea) |
New repo under continuous-intelligence org; tracked as 2nd CIAgent project. |
Multi-project config. |
| D-203 | AWS account = 581513795199 (existing) | Reuse the bootstrapped account; state bucket + outbox table created in pre-run Workstream A3. | Env JSON binding. |
| D-204 | D-083 (S3 Object Lock/JWS) stays deferred | The SQLite hash-chain + DynamoDB outbox is the pilot's audit record. Tamper-evidence is a future milestone. | Audit ledger scope. |
| D-205 | Cold-only metrics sufficient (D-126) | No hot ops dashboard in the pilot; cold SQLite store + PowerBI export. | Metrics pipeline. |
Constraints
- The consumer repo's deploy MUST go through
deploy.yml@v1.25(the reusable workflow) — no directterraform applybypassing the platform's policy + attestation gates. - The
contract.yamlMUST validate againstschemas/contract.schema.json. - The homegrown blockchain MUST be deterministic (same inputs → same block) — it is automation, not AI (NORTH_STAR Objective #2 tenet).
Context
- The Nova platform (
acdlrepo) completed v1.25 (kyverno-json Unified Policy Engine). The swappablePolicyEngineadapter is in place. - The AWS bootstrap (S3 state bucket + DynamoDB outbox) was re-run in the pre-run (Workstream A3) — the platform components exist.
- The consumer repo was created on Gitea (Workstream A4) and cloned to
/root/nova-blockchain-exchange. - Phase-by-phase history:
.ciagent/ROADMAP.md§v1.26 (the consumer ROADMAP is archived at.ciagent/nova-blockchain-exchange/archive/ROADMAP-v1.26.mdsince v1.27 — the platform ROADMAP is the source of truth for milestone phase narrative).
