2.1 Platform Architecture

Cryptic employs a three‑layer design:

Presentation Layer

Mobile clients use a unified React Native interface for secure messaging, payments, and DeFi features.

Application Layer

Micro-services manage end-to-end encrypted messaging, transaction processing, and non-custodial wallet operations.

Infrastructure Layer

• Blockchain Integration: Solana for sub-second finality and low fees; multi-chain support planned

• Key Management: Device-native secure storage (iOS Secure Enclave, Android Keystore)

• API & Transport: RESTful endpoints and WebSockets with end-to-end encryption
