Payments secured by authority, not intermediaries.
Payment systems fail because of custody, intermediaries, and permissioned trust. PTERI replaces this with deterministic cryptographic authority.
Before value moves, authority must be proven.
Payment systems do not fail because of speed or throughput. They fail because of custody, intermediaries, and permissioned trust.
Every intermediary becomes a point of control. Every custodial account becomes a point of failure.
In PTERI, payments are not a standalone product. They are an outcome of cryptographic authority.
Before value moves, authority must be proven.
Payments in PTERI follow a deterministic flow:
The authority holder signs a transaction locally using the wallet
The PTERI carrier layer verifies cryptographic authority
Policy and scope are enforced
Settlement occurs peer-to-peer
Kakr Labs never assumes custody
Transactions are signed in the wallet and enforced by the PTERI carrier layer. There are no intermediaries with the ability to override or reverse authority.
PTERI payments are fully self-custodial.
This model removes the need to trust payment processors, custodians, or clearing entities.
Privacy should be available when required - and absent when transparency is necessary.
PTERI supports optional confidential transactions using Litecoin's MimbleWimble Extension Blocks (MWEB).
Confidential value transfer when privacy is required
Transparent transactions for auditing and compliance
Policy-controlled privacy decisions
PTERI does not surveil transactions or monetize transaction data.
PTERI uses Litecoin as its settlement infrastructure because it is:
Litecoin provides production-grade settlement without experimental risk.
PTERI does not require payments to function.
Payments are available when needed - not imposed by the system.
PTERI enforces payment authority cryptographically, not behaviorally.
What PTERI guarantees is deterministic enforcement of payment authority wherever cryptographic proof can be verified.
PTERI authority layer enabling identity, payments, privacy, and AI delegation.
Kakr Labs builds cryptographic infrastructure that replaces guess-based security with deterministic authority.
The company focuses on identity, authentication, authorization, payments, and AI-safe delegation using a single, self-custodial authority model.
