Technical Overview
FragMint API
The FragMint API provides a comprehensive interface for managing digital assets. It allows for seamless integration with existing systems, offering endpoints for asset creation, management, and retrieval.
STOQ Protocol
The STOQ Protocol ensures secure and efficient data transfer using quantum-resistant encryption. It supports cross-network communication, maintaining security and load balancing.
Integration
Together, the FragMint API and STOQ Protocol provide a robust solution for digital asset management. The API handles asset operations, while the STOQ Protocol secures data transfer, ensuring privacy and integrity.
Core Concepts
Distribution System
FragMint's distribution system intelligently splits and spreads data across multiple locations:
- Content-aware segmentation for optimal performance
- Geographic distribution for reduced latency
- Automatic redundancy management
- Smart load balancing
Interoperability Framework
Universal compatibility achieved through:
- Standardized API interfaces
- Protocol-agnostic data handling
- Flexible integration options
- Cross-platform support
STOQ Protocol
Secure Tokenization over QUIC1. Core Protocol Components
The STOQ protocol operates through three main components working in concert:
1.1 Network Layer
Built on QUIC, the network layer handles connection management and data transport. Each node maintains: - A certificate authority chain for network identity verification using Falcon post-quantum signature schemes. - Websocket and HTTP/3 endpoints for different types of traffic. - Peer discovery and management system.
1.2 Data Distribution
File distribution occurs through a content-aware sharding system: - Content is analyzed for logical boundaries before sharding - Each payload is compressed and encrypted using Kyber-Sphincs+ & AES-256-GCM - Each shard is individually hashed using SHA3_256 - Shards are distributed across nodes based on network topology - Recovery is handled through redundant storage and merkle proofs
1.3 Blockchain Registry
The blockchain component maintains: - Asset records and ownership chains - Token operations and transfers - Network state and configuration - Cross-network authentication proofs
2. Protocol Operations
2.1 Node Registration
1. Node generates keypair
2. Requests network certificate from CA
3. Receives signed certificate
4. Broadcasts presence to network
5. Begins participating in consensus
