Product · Stellus Network

The Stellus Network.

A neutral settlement network for regulated dollars — acquiring, deposits, on-chain settlement, and global payout on one ledger, with compliance built in.

✦ Reach

A working map of the dollar.

The Network reaches 190+ countries in ~100 currencies through our locally licensed partner footprint. See the Payouts page for methods, settlement speed, and corridor detail.

✦ Two tokens, one stack

Built for the always-on dollar.

Banks aren't always open. Markets are. Stellus issues two complementary dollar instruments — one for when the bank is open, one for when it isn't — joined by a gateway that converts between them in a single API call.

Bearer instrumentozUSD

When banks are closed.

An open, 1:1-reserved payment stablecoin that settles on public networks in seconds, 24/7. Programmable, self-custodiable, composable. Built to the federal payment-stablecoin framework — no yield to holders, timely redemption at par.

  • · Always on · 24/7/365
  • · Bearer — possession equals ownership
  • · Composable across smart contracts
  • · No interest paid to holders
Deposit liabilityOZD

When banks are open.

A tokenized deposit liability held under Stellus's Wyoming SPDI charter. The dollar stays on the bank's books; the token is a programmability layer over an existing deposit. Interest-bearing by design, deposit-treatment by law.

  • · Bank-rail native · Fedwire · ACH · FedNow · RTP
  • · Account-based · identity-gated
  • · Stays on bank balance sheet
  • · Can be interest-bearing

Choose by clock and case.

✦ Conversion gateway · OzID
Bidirectional

Convert between them in one API call.

OzID gates each conversion on identity, sanctions, and policy. The gateway burns one side and mints the other, then reconciles both legs onto a single ledger of record — so the bank core and the chain stay in lockstep.

ozUSDOZD
Park into bank treatment.

Move weekend-acquired stablecoin into an interest-bearing deposit on Monday — yield, insurance, and balance-sheet residence inherited automatically.

OZDozUSD
Move 24/7 across chains.

Sweep a Friday-afternoon deposit balance into a stablecoin so it can settle through the weekend — and unwind back into the deposit when banks reopen.

Design note. At scale, the conversion can collapse into a state transition on a single token rather than burn-and-mint across two — same legal substance, fewer moving parts. Stellus's roadmap supports both patterns.

✦ Build on Stellus

Choose your layer. We handle the rails.

Build with an open bearer stablecoin, build with a chartered tokenized deposit, or build with both. One identity layer, one ledger, the same compliance posture across the stack.

For payments platformsozUSD

Build with stablecoins.

Move value between counterparties with the openness of a bearer instrument and the discipline of a 1:1-reserved payment stablecoin. Best for marketplaces, payments platforms, and on-chain commerce — wherever the dollar needs to be programmable and portable.

  • Bearer, programmable, 1:1 reserved
  • At-par redemption on demand
  • Settle to any verified counterparty
  • Portable across supported networks
For fintechs & neobanksOZD

Build with deposit tokens.

Stand up dollar accounts inside your product — backed by deposits under Stellus's Wyoming SPDI charter. OZD turns your platform into a global dollar account: hold, move, and pay out under bank-grade controls, with full reconciliation on a single ledger.

  • Tokenized deposit, chartered-institution backed
  • Effectively a global bank account inside your product
  • Identity-gated via OzID for compliant settlement
  • Convertible to ozUSD when openness matters
✦ Why build on Stellus

A neutral network with the boring parts handled.

Stellus is built to be the layer underneath your product — neutral about which network you choose, opinionated about how compliance and reconciliation get done.

Network detail coming soon
01

Neutral network

Stellus is a neutral settlement layer. Plug into the networks that matter for your product — we handle the rails so you don't pick winners.

02

Two-token, one ledger

ozUSD for open settlement, OZD for chartered-institution deposits. Move between them in one API call, all on the same ledger of record.

03

Programmable compliance

Define your policy — counterparty, jurisdiction, risk, velocity, quorum — and Stellus enforces it inline on every transfer, with Chainalysis screening baked in.

04

Compliance built in

Sanctions, AML, Travel Rule, and KYC/KYB run inline with every transfer — never bolted on, never out of band.

05

Last-mile coverage

190+ countries in ~100 currencies through our locally licensed partner network — across nine payout rails, real-time where the rail allows.

06

Identity that travels

OzID carries verified counterparty data with the payment, so your platform inherits Travel-Rule-grade data without standing up its own KYC stack.

07

Single API, full stack

Issuance, identity, transfer, conversion, payout, reconciliation — one API surface, one set of webhooks, one set of failure modes to learn.

08

Modular adoption

Take just the stablecoin, just the deposit token, just identity, just payouts — or all of it. Pieces compose; nothing forces a full migration.

09

Cross-chain by burn-and-mint

Native multi-chain via burn-and-mint instead of lock-and-wrap — one canonical asset across networks, no bridge contracts to compromise.

10

Reconciliation that doesn't drift

One ledger of record from funding to delivery. Auditors get continuous access; your operators stop chasing breaks on Fridays.

✦ Who builds on Stellus

Ten profiles, one platform.

The stack is modular — take just the stablecoin, just the deposit token, just identity, just payouts, or all of it. Here's who tends to take what.

Blockchain-native team01

On-chain product needing real fiat connectivity.

Use ozUSD for composability and the gateway plus bank rails for fiat in and out. The deposit token gives treasury a compliant landing spot.

Fintech founder, no banking license02

Ship a regulated dollar product in weeks.

Consume the stack as infrastructure — PPSI issuance, deposit token, identity, and payouts — instead of pursuing a multi-year charter.

Payments company03

Hybrid settlement, routed by clock.

Settle on ozUSD when banks are closed or for cross-border; use OZD and bank rails for domestic high-value and bank-grade needs.

Cross-border & remittance04

Collapse the correspondent-bank stack.

Stablecoin sandwich (fiat → stablecoin → fiat) settles in seconds, 24/7, across corridors that have zero banking-hour overlap.

Marketplaces & platforms05

Bulk, per-recipient payouts with compliance baked in.

Daily instead of weekly payouts without bleeding wire fees; programmatic split settlement; atomic, identity-gated last mile.

Treasury & cash management06

Money in motion that earns its keep.

Hold operating float as interest-bearing OZD during the day, sweep to ozUSD for after-hours liquidity — bank-grade treatment when desired, 24/7 always.

Agentic commerce07

Machine-speed payments with human-grade controls.

Stablecoins are the native rail for 24/7 micropayments; OzID supplies Know-Your-Agent, delegated authority, spend limits, and audit trail.

Embedded finance · BaaS08

Dollar accounts and payouts as a few API calls.

Virtual accounts, multi-rail payments, real-time ledgers, and stablecoin or deposit-token issuance — embedded inside non-financial platforms.

Merchant of record · orchestration09

Route liquidity, FX, and compliance across rails.

Use OZD for regulated settlement and ozUSD for reach. The orchestration layer picks the right rail per transaction.

Private credit · receivables10

Programmable credit on regulated dollars.

Idle deposit float and tokenized receivables fund on-chain credit structures with embedded interest accrual and covenant enforcement. (Credit activity sits on the deposit side — never inside stablecoin reserves.)

✦ Programmable compliance

Compliance, as code.

Stellus lets banks and PSPs define the rules their tokenized dollars must follow — counterparty, jurisdiction, risk, velocity, quorum, hours — and enforces them inline on every transfer, before settlement. Chainalysis screening powers the wallet and sanctions layer.

  • Velocity
    Cap institutional outflows at $1M per 24h; auto-flag bursts.
  • Quorum
    Require two-of-three approver signatures above a configurable threshold.
  • Hours
    Permit on-chain settlement only during your defined operating window.
  • Asset
    Allow OZD-only flows between specific account types; allow ozUSD broadly.

Programmable compliance applies to both ozUSD (the bearer stablecoin) and OZD (the tokenized deposit). Policy is a runtime contract — change it, and the next transfer obeys.

The four legs of a dollar.

The Stellus Network spans the full life of a dollar: in through acquiring and on-ramps, held in regulated deposits under our Wyoming SPDI charter, moved as ozUSD or OZD, and out through last-mile payout in supported markets. Instead of stitching together a processor, a bank, a stablecoin issuer, and a dozen payout providers, platforms plug into one network with one identity layer.

  • Entry

    Acquiring and on-ramp across major card and bank rails.

  • Residence

    Deposits and float held under Stellus's Wyoming SPDI charter.

  • Motion

    At-par settlement in ozUSD and OZD, gated by OzID.

  • Exit

    Local payout across 190+ markets in ~100 currencies through our locally licensed partner network.

✦ Compliance, deeper

Built to the rule before the rule was written.

Stellus was designed to the U.S. federal payment-stablecoin framework before there was a rule to read. Controls run inline with every transfer — at the point of execution, not in batch the next morning — and evidence is continuous, not quarterly.

KYBKYCSanctionsPEPTravel RuleWatchlistMonitoringAttestation
  • KYB onboarding for builders. Builders are vetted before they go live — entity type, beneficial ownership, sanctions posture, business purpose.
  • KYC and Verification of Payee for end users. Identity proofing and account validation across 50+ countries, where the rail and corridor require it.
  • Per-transfer policy execution. Travel Rule, sanctions screening, watchlist checks, velocity, and your own bespoke rules — applied inline, not in batch.
  • Continuous monitoring. Risk scoring on every flow, with adaptive thresholds and human-in-the-loop review where it matters.
  • Independent attestation. Reserves and controls examined by third parties on a regular cadence. Reports published in the Trust Center.
  • GENIUS Act framework alignment. Designed to the U.S. federal payment-stablecoin regime; preparing for Permitted Payment Stablecoin Issuer authorization.

Regulatory framing. Stellus is built to the U.S. GENIUS Act federal framework for payment stablecoins. Final federal rules are expected by July 18, 2026 and take effect later (the earlier of 120 days after final rules, or January 18, 2027). Nothing here should be read as a representation that any Stellus product is "approved" under the GENIUS Act. ozUSD is not a bank deposit and is not FDIC-insured to holders. OZD is a tokenized deposit; deposit-insurance treatment of tokenized deposits is itself subject to pending rulemaking.
