SORA v3 (Nexus)

SORA v3 (Nexus) delivers deterministic liquidity and accountable governance.

As of November 2025, Hyperledger Iroha “Nexus” lanes finalize cross-domain activity with deterministic guardrails while the Token Bonding Curve keeps liquidity predictable. Polkaswap anchors non-custodial markets so treasuries, desks, and builders can orchestrate capital without surrendering custody.

Whitepaper Highlights

What the whitepaper emphasizes.

Nexus execution, predictable liquidity, governance cadence, and programmatic guardrails make Soranauts a reliable window into the SORA economy.

Architecture

Lanes, Merge Ledger & Data Spaces

Sections 6–7 explain how Nexus scales with parallel lanes while the merge ledger keeps one canonical order across sovereign data spaces.

  • Lanes finalize independently and fuse or split deterministically based on load.
  • Merge ledger orders lane tips without rewriting finalized history.
  • Data spaces provide privacy and jurisdictional controls while still emitting proofs.

Execution

IVM, Kotodama & Deterministic Contracts

Sections 5 and 11 detail the Iroha Virtual Machine and Kotodama bytecode that keep Nexus execution deterministic.

  • Pointer-ABI defines typed handles so contracts cannot craft malformed references.
  • Gas tables and syscalls are versioned on-chain for predictable execution.
  • Kotodama bytecode (.to) plus Norito serialization keeps auditing and ZK tracing straightforward.

Security & DA

FASTPQ Proofs, DA Sampling & Sumeragi

Sections 8–10 describe the Sumeragi pipeline, Start-Time Fair Queuing, and FASTPQ zk-STARK proofs tied to DA certificates.

  • Sumeragi finalizes non-empty slots in ~1 s with deterministic leader rotation.
  • FASTPQ proofs aggregate per-data-space execution into verifiable lane receipts.
  • Two-dimensional erasure coding plus DA sampling keeps data recoverable and auditable.

Governance

SORA Parliament & Governance Surfaces

Sections 7.2 and 16 outline configuration surfaces, data-space onboarding, and the upcoming SORA Parliament structure.

  • Council, Assembly, and Technical Committee publish Norito manifests with XOR bonds.
  • Parameter sets (crypto, scheduling, admission caps) are versioned on-chain.
  • New data spaces require attested certificates; unknown DSIDs are rejected.

Architecture & Primitives

Nexus Architecture & Economic Primitives

The Nexus whitepaper frames these primitives as the backbone of execution lanes, monetary policy, governance, and liquidity. Each card summarizes the intent plus the impact on institutions.

Execution

Lanes & Merge Ledger

Iroha v3 lanes finalize independently, then the merge ledger weaves those tips into one canonical order so builders never fork history or lose cross-domain atomicity.

Monetary Policy

XOR Bonding Curve & Credit

The bonding curve keeps XOR supply elastic, signals mint/burn windows, and funds productive credit programs so desks can dial liquidity without surprises.

Governance

SORA Parliament

Council, Assembly, and Technical Committee publish Norito manifests with XOR bonds so upgrades, lane parameters, and new data spaces activate deterministically.

Liquidity

Polkaswap & Supranational Money

Polkaswap routes liquidity across HASHI-connected domains while XOR operates as supranational money so institutions can settle trade, manage reserves, and finance projects on one ledger.

Nexus FAQs

Key questions we hear most

Answers reference the November 2025 Nexus whitepaper and live wiki sections so you always have canonical context.

How do Nexus lanes reach ~1 second finality?
Sections 6–8 of the Nexus whitepaper explain how parallel lanes execute in isolation while the merge ledger orders lane tips into one canonical sequence. The Sumeragi pipeline plus Start-Time Fair Queuing (STFQ) keeps every lane deterministic, so builders never fork history even when throughput spikes.
What are data spaces and why do they matter?
Nexus treats each jurisdiction or business unit as a sovereign data space with its own policy, privacy settings, and audit proofs. Governed onboarding (bonds + attestations) ensures private zones stay private while still emitting proofs to the merge ledger. Review §7 of the whitepaper or the SORA v3 architecture guide for the latest data-space manifest format.
How is liquidity policy enforced across SORA?
The XOR Token Bonding Curve keeps supply elastic and signals mint/burn windows so desks can schedule liquidity programs. Nexus lanes read the same bonding-curve state, meaning liquidity desks, Polkaswap LPs, and Kensetsu vaults all follow the same deterministic policy.
Where do I follow governance cadence and upgrades?
Nexus encodes governance manifests in Norito so Council, Assembly, and the Technical Committee enact upgrades without manual intervention. Track the plan via the SORA governance wiki or review §16 of the whitepaper for the upcoming SORA Parliament structure.
