基于PlatON構建的Web3.0密態支付清算體系TOPOS正式發布:4月13日消息，由萬向區塊鏈實驗室、HashKey Group、PlatON聯合主辦的 2023香港Web3嘉年華“全球Web3支付創新論壇”在香港正式召開。PlatON創始人孫立林進行了《Web3.0密態支付清算體系》的開場演講，并正式發布了基于PlatON構建的Web3.0密態支付清算體系——TOPOS。

TOPOS是一個基于區塊鏈底層的開放支付清算操作系統，堅持OPEN LOOP的多邊架構，其支付核心基于Tokenized Money，旨在讓Web3的“錢”由用戶自我鑄造并安全的完成價值的受控轉移。任何人都可以通過TOPOS提供的底層調用區塊鏈能力在生態當中組裝最終的支付清算服務。商戶和用戶可以非托管的持有Web3的資產，并且依賴收單機構、錢包機構、Tokenized Money支付場景標準制定者開發的標準來完成支付和交換價值。

TOPOS將致力于在全球監管合規框架之下，廣邀全球開發者、發卡機構、收單機構、錢包、其他第三方專業化服務機構共同參與構建基于多方共識的多邊支付清算架構。[2023/4/13 14:01:34]
