Orbitra L1 · Market services layer

The boundary where outside prices become state.

Prism sits in the market-services layer of Orbitra L1 at a boundary. It is where information from outside the network — exchange prices, dealer quotes and benchmarks — becomes state the rest of the stack can rely on.

Illustration: Orbitra L1 as six stacked layers: experience at the top, then market services, execution, consensus, data and network at the base. Light travels down through the layers as a transaction is executed and finalized, and back up as confirmed state.

Role in the Orbitra L1 stack

Every neighboring module consumes what Prism publishes. ApexMatch derives price bands, Aegis values collateral and positions, funding and liquidation reference index prices, and tokenized real-world assets draw valuation inputs — all from the same signed market state.

Prism writes into the execution layer as ordinary state. Values are read deterministically on VectorLanes and finalized by QSE together with the transactions that used them, so every validator sees the same price at the same point in history.

At the network edge, GateMesh governs assets arriving from other chains. Together they form the protected boundary where external truth enters Orbitra L1: Prism for data, GateMesh for value.

Illustration: Diverse price sources enter on the left and are refracted through five stages: normalized for time, units and quality; aggregated with a robust median and weighting; scored for confidence from freshness and dispersion; and published as signed market state.

What Prism contributes to the stack

  • 01

    One reference per instrument

    Risk, matching and settlement read the same published value, so they never disagree about what a price was.

  • 02

    Confidence as data

    Each value carries a confidence score, derived from freshness and dispersion, that downstream modules can act upon.

  • 03

    Automatic protection

    Falling confidence trips circuit breakers in the markets that depend on the affected price.

  • 04

    Replayable history

    Because prices are committed state, any past decision can be re-examined against the exact value it used.
