⚡ Hyperion-X
Hyperion-X is a ground-up African payment switch built for the continent's unique interoperability requirements — ISO 8583 and ISO 20022, mobile money, card networks, and instant payment schemes — with post-quantum cryptography and formal verification from day one.
Key Features
Purpose-built for Africa's payment landscape — every protocol, every network, every scheme, secured against tomorrow's threats.
Protocol Polyglot
Native ISO 8583 (1987/1993/2003 editions) and ISO 20022 processing. Translates between protocols in-flight. Supports NIBSS, Interswitch, Visa Direct, Mastercard Send, and EFTPoS Africa without middleware.
Mobile Money Native
First-class integration with M-Pesa (DARAJA 2.0 + STK Push), MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, and Orange Money. Real-time balance checks, PIN validation, and instant settlement. Not an adapter — purpose-built message types.
Post-Quantum Cryptography
CRYSTALS-Kyber-1024 for key encapsulation. CRYSTALS-Dilithium for transaction signing. Hybrid classical+PQC operation during migration period. NIST FIPS 203/204 compliant. Futureproof against harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks.
Real-Time AML Engine
In-line transaction scoring at <1ms overhead. Rules + ML hybrid model. Sanctions list screening against OFAC, UN, EU, and AU lists updated every 15 minutes. Velocity checks, network graph analysis, and SAR auto-generation.
Formal Verification
All critical state machines — authorization, settlement, reconciliation — are specified in TLA+ and model-checked. Properties verified: no double-spend, no fund loss, settlement finality. Specifications published openly.
Real-Time Settlement
RTGS-style gross settlement with configurable netting windows. Automated reconciliation against all connected schemes. Dispute management with evidence packet generation. SWIFT GPI-style tracking for cross-border.
