Preamble
Aksumite will not allow commerce to outrun executable liquidity. This Standard records how AKSU-denominated commerce in Aksu House is sized to what the market can actually execute, and how that capacity is made publicly observable.
Definitions
- “Axum”
- Aksumite's payment, quote, verification, value-protection and settlement layer.
- “Safe Commerce Capacity”
- The largest single canonical USD Marketplace transaction that Axum can presently quote and protect through executable AKSU→USDC liquidity while satisfying every existing execution-safety control, including the 2% execution-impact limit.
- “Executable liquidity”
- Liquidity demonstrated by executable market routes and on-chain pool balances at the time of measurement. Treasury balances and total token holdings are not executable liquidity.
Commerce Within Executable Liquidity
Execution-impact limit
A Marketplace transaction paid in AKSU is accepted only when its value can be protected within a maximum execution impact of 2%. This limit is a hard safety control. It is not raised to admit larger transactions.
Citation: Commerce Capacity Standard, § 1.01 (1.0)Capacity grows with real liquidity
Transaction capacity grows only as real executable liquidity grows. Capacity is measured from executable route evidence, not estimated from treasury balances or token holdings, and is never inferred when evidence is unavailable.
Citation: Commerce Capacity Standard, § 1.02 (1.0)Fail closed
When live market evidence is unavailable or stale, Safe Commerce Capacity is reported as unavailable and AKSU checkouts that depend on it do not proceed.
Citation: Commerce Capacity Standard, § 1.03 (1.0)Public Observability
Published metrics
Safe Commerce Capacity, executable AKSU/USDC liquidity, capacity milestones and the Auction House readiness gate are published as read-only metrics computed from authoritative records, with timestamped history retained.
Citation: Commerce Capacity Standard, § 2.01 (1.0)Milestones
Capacity milestones are $250, $500, $1,000, $2,500, $5,000 and $10,000 per transaction. Reaching a milestone describes commerce execution capacity only.
Citation: Commerce Capacity Standard, § 2.02 (1.0)Auction House Readiness
$10,000 gate
Auction House requires demonstrated Safe Commerce Capacity of at least $10,000 within all existing execution controls, including the 2% execution-impact limit. Policy is not weakened to reach the gate; the ecosystem must grow until it earns that capacity.
Citation: Commerce Capacity Standard, § 3.01 (1.0)Reserves and Limits of this Standard
Institutional reserves
Institutional AKSU reserves may support future liquidity deployment through the Institution's governed processes. Reserves do not guarantee token value, price, liquidity or market stability.
Citation: Commerce Capacity Standard, § 4.01 (1.0)No guarantee
Published capacity, liquidity and milestone figures are not a price, a valuation or a promise of future liquidity, and do not indicate token value or market stability.
Citation: Commerce Capacity Standard, § 4.02 (1.0)Law and regulation
This Standard is an institutional operating policy. It does not provide any exemption from, safe harbor under or immunity from securities, commodities, market-manipulation or any other law or regulation.
