Opis

Modern digital payment systems do not fail like ordinary software. When a payment system fails, money is lost, access is denied, and responsibility cannot be rolled back. In irreversible payment environments, mistakes are permanent outcomes.Banking-Grade Digital Payments is a system-level guide to designing, delivering, and operating digital payment infrastructure where value moves irreversibly and authority must be engineered with precision. Rather than focusing on blockchains, APIs, or user interfaces, the book examines the deeper responsibilities that arise when software becomes financial infrastructure.It explores payment flows as state machines with accounting guarantees, emphasizing custody models, authority boundaries, auditability, and operational discipline. The book explains when money should be considered received, how responsibility is transferred, how failures must be contained, and why signing, accounting, and incident response are first-class design concerns.Written for senior developers, architects, founders, and technical leaders, this book bridges the gap between software architecture and financial accountability. It is not a tutorial. It is a framework for building payment systems that must remain explainable, controllable, and survivable on their worst day.If your software can move money, it is already financial infrastructure. This book exists to make that responsibility explicit.
