{"version":1,"id":"sectora","title":"Sectora","summary":"Sectora is a Layer3 project that operates a Layer 3 network for verification, custody and exchange of tokenized real-world assets.","content":"**Sectora** is a [Layer 3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-3) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) designed to support the verification, custody, and exchange of tokenized [real-world assets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/real-world-assets-rwas). Its infrastructure includes an attestation layer, distributed [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator), a network [stablecoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin), and a trading venue for tokenized assets and other financial instruments.  [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-mh1viaqdzi) \n\n## Overview\n\nSectora is a [Layer 3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-3) [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) designed specifically for the verification, custody, and exchange of tokenized [real-world assets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/real-world-assets-rwas). Unlike general-purpose [blockchains](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) where tokenized assets are typically represented through application-level [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract), Sectora incorporates [tokenization](https://iq.wiki/wiki/tokenization), custody, and verification into the network’s core infrastructure. Each custodied asset is linked to a dedicated attestation layer, with a distributed [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) set responsible for verifying the asset and its associated information. The network retains standard [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) functions such as transfers, [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract), [decentralized applications](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-application), block production, and transaction finality, allowing developers to use familiar blockchain primitives while accessing additional asset-specific infrastructure. As a [Layer 3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-3) network, Sectora settles above a general-purpose base layer and uses a dedicated execution environment for custody and verification, allowing these processes to operate independently from unrelated [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) activity. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-5tdj70apoe)  [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-dactlx0scf) \n\n## Features\n\n### Validator Nodes\n\nSectora uses a hash-power-based validation system in which participants acquire hash power to support the network’s security [nodes](https://iq.wiki/wiki/node) and receive protocol rewards while their hash power is active. The protocol describes two separate revenue flows for these activities: purchases of hash power allocate 80% toward open-market SECT buybacks and 20% toward APY rewards, protocol expansion, and the team, with the SECT acquired through buybacks permanently burned. [Validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) rewards are instead funded by [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) [transaction fees](https://iq.wiki/wiki/transaction-fee), with 67% allocated to SECT buybacks and 33% directed toward [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) rewards, expansion, and the team. Under this model, [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) compensation is tied to transaction activity generated by the network rather than directly to hash-power purchases, while both buyback mechanisms reduce the circulating SECT supply through on-chain burns. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-5tdj70apoe)  [\\[7\\]](#cite-id-sNwIPe09s8wTqgcc) \n\n### USD-SEC\n\nUSD-SEC is Sectora’s fully collateralized [stablecoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin) and serves as the network’s unit of account for tokenized [real-world assets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/real-world-assets-rwas) and protocol activity. Each USD-SEC is described as being backed 1:1 by external reserve assets, including cash and short-duration instruments, rather than by SECT or assets held within Sectora’s custody system. Verified participants can [mint](https://iq.wiki/wiki/minting) USD-SEC by depositing qualifying reserve assets, while redemption burns the corresponding tokens on a 1:1 basis. USD-SEC is used to price and settle tokenized [real-world assets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/real-world-assets-rwas) on Sectora’s [DEX](https://iq.wiki/wiki/decentralized-exchange) and to denominate hash-power purchases before they are converted into SECT. The [stablecoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin) therefore provides a common settlement unit for asset custody, exchange activity, and [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator)-related transactions across the network. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-5tdj70apoe) \n\n### Multi-trade DEX\n\nSectora’s Multi-trade DEX is designed as a trading venue for tokenized [real-world assets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/real-world-assets-rwas) alongside equities, indices, futures, perpetuals, options, metals, and [cryptocurrencies](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency). The exchange uses Sectora’s custody and verification infrastructure, with tokenized assets carrying custody records that form part of the listing and settlement framework. Trades across these markets are settled through the same system, allowing different asset types to be held within a common account structure. Trading fees are allocated according to the protocol’s stated model: 80% to SECT buybacks and 20% to APY rewards, protocol expansion, and fees. SECT purchased through these buybacks is automatically and permanently burned, reducing the token’s circulating supply. [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-5tdj70apoe)  [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-quSvq5CQg5RhE74q) \n\n### Sectora Shield\n\nSectora Shield is a cybersecurity layer designed to protect custody records, trading activity, [validator](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator) operations, tokenized [real-world assets](https://iq.wiki/wiki/real-world-assets-rwas), [stablecoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin) reserves, and network data across the Sectora ecosystem. Its security functions include screening transactions and contract calls, detecting anomalous withdrawals and authentication attempts, rejecting stale oracle data, blocking replay and signature-forgery attempts, and applying rate limits to suspicious activity. Shield uses post-quantum cryptographic standards finalized by NIST in 2024, including ML-KEM under FIPS 203 for key encapsulation, ML-DSA under FIPS 204 for digital signatures, and SLH-DSA under FIPS 205 for hash-based signatures, with the latter intended for long-term verification of custody records. The system also maintains an integrity ledger that continuously checks custody records for tampering and provides verification across Sectora's custody infrastructure, Multi-Trade DEX, hash market and [validators](https://iq.wiki/wiki/validator), [RWA](https://iq.wiki/wiki/real-world-assets-rwas) [tokenization](https://iq.wiki/wiki/tokenization) systems, USD-SEC [stablecoin](https://iq.wiki/wiki/stablecoin), [Layer 3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/layer-3) network, and dashboard and explorer data. [\\[5\\]](#cite-id-Ck3vm6uMUJfOGmuq) \n\n## SECT\n\nSECT is an [ERC-20](https://iq.wiki/wiki/erc-20) token deployed on [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), intended to support Sectora’s network governance and [real-world asset](https://iq.wiki/wiki/real-world-assets-rwas) infrastructure. The project launched an initial supply of 50 million SECT with no transaction tax, no stated insider allocation or presale, and a renounced contract, meaning it relinquished administrative ownership of the deployed contract. The protocol describes a planned burn mechanism that would reduce the token supply toward a target of 25 million SECT, although the supplied material states that this reduction had not yet occurred.
