Technical FAQ
Sovereign Intel · Infrastructure Logic
Does Nexus require a blockchain to function?
No. Phase 1.4.0 is a standalone Sovereign Node operating with full autonomy without external blockchain dependencies. External layers like peaq or IoTeX are treated as optional anchoring adapters for identity and global settlement and do not dictate local execution speed or Brain correctness.
How does the Gateway handle "interstitial" or browser warnings?
To maintain a Zero-Cost Sovereign Stack, the Brain utilizes header-based bypasses in development environments. It is configured to append ingress-specific bypass headers like ngrok-skip-browser-warning, Cloudflare, or Nginx equivalents to outbound responses to ensure clean JSON/HTML streams for automated handshakes.
Why SQLite instead of a distributed database?
For local-first sovereignty and high performance on edge hardware:
- WAL Mode: Write-Ahead Logging manages high-density concurrent writes without blocking.
- Integrity: Validated under a 1-Million Transaction stress test with 0.00% data corruption.
- Portability: Single-file sovereign vaults ensure the operator maintains absolute state ownership.
Is the 60/30/10 split hardcoded?
Yes. In the current release, the split logic is enforced as a Deterministic Invariant at the Brain level to prevent UI-level tampering and ensure economic integrity. Future parameterization will occur at the governance layer and will not alter the Brain’s deterministic execution guarantees.
What happens if a transaction fails the Sentry Guard?
The system operates on a Zero Trust model. If a request fails to resolve identity context (e.g., invalid initData) or environmental signatures, the Sentry rejects it at the perimeter. No logic is executed, and no state is committed to the Vault.
Why frame the UI as an "Execution Surface"?
To maintain Chain-Agnosticism. The UI (The Body) does not own state; it merely renders the reactive state of the Sovereign Brain. This ensures the protocol remains compatible with future identity systems like ioID or Sr25519 without requiring a rebuild of the core engine.
