The VeritasChain Protocol (VCP) is a global standard for recording algorithmic trading decisions and execution results in an immutable, cryptographically verifiable format.
VCP establishes a cryptographically secured chain of evidence for algorithmic trading operations, ensuring compliance with international regulations including MiFID II, GDPR, EU AI Act, and quantum-resistant security requirements.
Digital signatures (Ed25519) and RFC 6962-compliant Merkle trees ensure mathematical proof of immutability.
Protocol-level support for MiFID II, EU AI Act, GDPR with crypto-shredding privacy protection.
Future-proof design with seamless migration path to post-quantum cryptography (DILITHIUM, FALCON).
VCP defines three compliance tiers to accommodate different technical requirements and use cases, from high-frequency trading to retail platforms.

VCP is designed with a modular architecture, allowing implementations to adopt components based on their specific requirements and regulatory obligations.
Standard header and security layer with Three-Layer Architecture providing cryptographic integrity, timestamp precision, and event identification.
Trading data payload schema capturing order lifecycle from signal generation to execution and settlement.
Algorithm governance and AI transparency module ensuring human oversight and explainability of automated decisions.
Risk management parameter recording capturing position limits, stop-loss triggers, and risk control mechanisms.
Privacy protection with crypto-shredding technique, enabling GDPR-compliant "right to be forgotten" while maintaining audit integrity.
Chain disruption recovery mechanism ensuring audit trail continuity even during system failures or network partitions.
Cross-reference and dual logging extension enabling independent VCP streams from multiple parties for discrepancy detection.
