Layer 2 · fulfillment stack
Operations & pipeline
The market is not a static directory. Every SKU routes through a staged pipeline: intake, bond, listing QA, buyer messaging, ship window, and dispute arbitration. Below is how CyberLux models that stack in software — so mirrors and onions stay coherent even when traffic splits across forty-three hidden services.
Order state machine
Draft — cart lines held client-side; no vendor notification until checkout commits a signed bundle.
Committed — checkout posts intent; escrow layer (see{" "}
Trust
) opens a cooling window for key verification.
Vendor ack — stall owner confirms stock and ship SLA; late ack downgrades stall priority in search ranking.
In transit — tracking tokens are opaque hashes; plaintext carriers never touch the hub.
Settled / disputed — auto-release after timeout unless a ticket opens a moderator queue tied to the same order id across all onions.
SLA tiers (in-world)
Standard: vendor ack within 48h simulated clock; ship within 120h.
Express bond: higher vendor bond unlocks 12h ack and pinned placement in category rails.
Cold chain / sensitive: extra QA step before listing goes live; edits re-trigger QA.
Dispute ladder
Buyer ↔ vendor thread (PGP-signed).
Floor mediator — binds to listing category expertise.
Market council — multi-sig release or partial refund.
Permanent ban + bond forfeit for pattern fraud.
Why this page exists: dedicated Tor onions for /market should feel like a full vertical, not a shallow iframe. The pipeline text mirrors how cart, checkout, and support routes are wired in the Next app so operators can explain the same story on any mirror.
Glossary · ops vocabulary
Signed bundle
Mirror list + hub fingerprint + timestamp; clients verify before trusting checkout addresses or vendor rotations across rendezvous points.
Opaque hash
Tracking token that maps to carrier events only inside vendor tooling — plaintext courier names never cross the Next boundary.
Cooling window
Post-commit interval where buyers validate PGP continuity and multisig cosigners can abort without burning reputation.
Category rail
Faceted slice of the catalog used for pinned placement; express-bond stalls can lease rail time without polluting unrelated SKUs.
