What is Centaurus?

A constellation is a deployed cluster that comprises a primary server, known as the alpha, along with a range of 5 to 19 auditor servers operated by various organizations or business entities, each of which publicly authenticates its identity using a standard Stellar ed25519 public key. The stability of the organizations involved and their public keys, which are not expected to change often, makes it beneficial to incorporate these public keys into client software for straightforward signature verification on the client side. Funds that are gathered from clients are stored in a singular Stellar account called the vault, which is protected by an M-of-N multi-signature framework; here, N denotes the total number of independent servers within the constellation, while M is defined as the majority of votes plus one, requiring more than 50% of the signatures. For any withdrawal to be carried out, the majority of signatures from the quorum participants must be obtained, a procedure that is bolstered by the Stellar ledger's inherent integrity. Transactions, including payments and trades, are confirmed almost instantly, achieving finality within five seconds, thereby facilitating a swift and secure financial ecosystem. This synergy of advanced technology and governance structures establishes a resilient foundation for asset management within the constellation, promoting trust and efficiency among participating entities. The clarity in the operational framework and security measures ensures that participants can confidently engage in transactions knowing their assets are well-protected.
