Trusted Records, Programmable Agreements, Real-World Integration — With Evidence
Blockchain is more than coins. It’s a way to establish shared truth and programmable trust across organizations that don’t (and shouldn’t have to) fully trust each other.
SolveForce delivers enterprise-grade blockchain as a system: platform selection (public, private/permissioned, L2), smart-contract engineering, key custody, oracles & integration, observability, and compliance—all wrapped in Zero-Trust security and evidence pipelines you can hand to auditors.
Foundations this builds on:
• Cloud & Platforms → /cloud • Containers → /kubernetes • Serverless → /serverless
• Identity/Access → /iam • Privilege → /pam • Zero Trust → /ztna • Edge → /edge-data-centers
• Data & AI → /etl-elt • /data-warehouse • /vector-databases • /solveforce-ai
• Custody & Crypto → /key-management • /secrets-management • /encryption
• Evidence & Ops → /siem-soar • Governance → /grc
🎯 Business Outcomes
- Single source of truth across partners (provenance, settlement, compliance evidence) without a central gatekeeper.
- Programmable workflows (smart contracts) that execute consistently and leave an immutable audit trail.
- Lower reconciliation & dispute costs via shared ledgers and verifiable proofs.
- Privacy-by-design and compliance for regulated data (selective disclosure, zero-knowledge patterns).
- No-drama operations: measurable SLOs, runbooks, and SIEM-backed evidence.
🧭 Architecture Choices (the right chain for the job)
Public chains (e.g., Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Bitcoin)
- Open participation, strong liveness, broad interoperability; best for tokenized assets, public proofs, and ecosystem integration.
Permissioned/consortium chains (e.g., Hyperledger Fabric, Quorum, Besu)
- Known participants, configurable privacy and throughput; ideal for B2B networks, regulated workflows, supply chains.
Layer-2 / Rollups (Optimistic / ZK rollups)
- Higher throughput & lower fees anchored to L1 security; great for enterprise apps that still want public settlement.
Hybrid models
- Keep detailed records in a private ledger, anchor proofs (hashes/commitments) on a public chain for timestamping and immutability.
- Use IPFS/Arweave for content addressing plus contract-enforced references.
We remain platform-neutral. The design starts with data classification, throughput/latency, privacy, governance, and budget—then we map to chain(s) and runtime.
🧱 Core Capabilities
1) Smart Contracts & Program Design
- Domain-driven models, finite-state workflows, and guarded oracles.
- Defensive coding (reentrancy guards, checks-effects-interactions, overflow safety), upgradability patterns, role separation, and pause/emergency controls.
- Formal verifications (where warranted), unit/property tests, and testnet/forked-mainnet rehearsal pipelines.
2) Identity, Keys & Wallets
- HSM-backed custodial keys, threshold/MPC options, or enterprise wallet integrations; vault-issued ephemeral keys for services.
- PAM JIT for privileged actions (admin keys, contract upgrades) with session recording. → /key-management • /pam • /secrets-management
3) Oracles & Off-Chain Data
- API-led + event-driven oracle design with idempotency/DLQs, rate limits, signed payloads (JWS), and sequencing.
- Multiple oracle feeds with medianization/threshold logic to reduce manipulation risk. → /application-integration
4) Privacy & Compliance Controls
- Selective disclosure (Merkle proofs, ZKPs where appropriate), data minimization, and off-chain private data with on-chain commitments.
- Jurisdictional perimeters (data stays in-region; proofs travel). → /data-governance • /dlp
5) Observability & Evidence
- Node health, block propagation, mempool tx latency, reorg depth, RPC performance, contract events, gas/fee tracking.
- Chain ETL → warehouse + vector index; SIEM/SOAR receives alerts and runs guarded playbooks. → /etl-elt • /data-warehouse • /siem-soar
6) Security, Ops & DR
- Zero Trust access (ZTNA) to nodes and consoles; WAF/Bot for APIs; EDR on hosts; email auth for admin alerts.
- Snapshots/state-sync strategies, archival node options, Object-Lock backups, cutover drills with artifacts. → /ztna • /waf • /backup-immutability
🔐 Threat Model & Countermeasures
| Risk | Control Patterns |
|---|---|
| Smart-contract bugs (reentrancy, overflow, logic flaws) | Thorough test suites, audits, formal checks; pause switches; staged releases on testnets; tight upgrade keys w/ PAM JIT; invariant monitors. |
| Oracle manipulation / price games | Multiple sources + medianization, signed feeds, bounded deltas, time-weighted ranges, circuit breakers. |
| Private key compromise | HSM/MPC custody, short-lived session keys, hardware-backed signing, PAM approvals, vault logs, geo/IP risk rules. |
| Bridge/rollup risks | Canonical bridges, proven rollup stacks, challenge periods (Optimistic) or validity proofs (ZK), limited TVL, escape hatches. |
| MEV / frontrunning | Commit-reveal, batch auctions, private tx relays where supported, minimal leakage in mempool. |
| PII/PHI exposure on-chain | Never store raw sensitive data; use commitments, tokens, or references; enforce DLP at app layer. |
| RPC & node abuse | Rate-limiting, API keys, WAF/Bot, mTLS/JWT, split read/write endpoints, provider diversity. |
| Network outages / reorgs | Multi-provider nodes, reorg-aware finality checks, SD-WAN failover, snapshot/restore runbooks with evidence. |
