02 / Powered by SORA Nexus
Connected underneath.
Simple on the surface.
Apps serve different people. SORA Nexus gives them a common foundation for moving value, while a dedicated data space keeps CBSI’s rules at the centre.
- 01
A wallet starts the payment.
A customer scans a merchant’s QR code and confirms the amount in e-SBD.
- 02
The rules travel with the money.
The Bokolo data space applies the authorised permissions and transaction rules.
- 03
One result. A shared record.
The ledger records the transfer, giving the apps a consistent payment status to show.
A dedicated space.
Local governance.
Nexus data spaces are designed to separate rules and access, giving a regulated currency its own operating boundaries.
One transaction.
Consistent records.
A common ledger helps wallets, merchants and bank teams work from the same settled payment record.
More connections.
When the time is right.
Nexus is designed to connect data spaces. Future links to other systems would need their own integration and approvals.
03 / Built around island life
Small beginnings.
A wider horizon.
A pilot is where technology meets the working day: a shop counter, a customer’s first payment, a bank team closing its books.
Honiara is the starting point. The planned path through Auki and Gizo builds experience for broader access, guided by CBSI and participating institutions.
