Exchange

The Webycash exchange is an application module that runs inside your wallet. It trades across bearer rails (Webcash, Voucher) and arbitrable rails (Bitcoin ARK, RGB) using the extro-402-scheme primitives. It is not a centralized exchange: there is no server-side matching engine and no custody. Peers and autonomous agents are both first-class participants — see Peers & Agents (PA2AP).

Settlement is not always atomic, and never custodial.

Bearer legs cannot be locked in a contract. When a bearer asset trades against an arbitrable asset, settlement is referee-mediated, bounded-risk, and non-atomic — there is a defined window where one party has acted and the other has not. RGB ↔ RGB can settle through an RGB-server-enforced state transition. The site never holds funds and the referee never holds bearer secrets or both halves of a 2-of-2.

Asset classes

Webcash Bearer splittable

Bearer secret, splittable by server replace. No conditional script.

Voucher Bearer splittable

Bearer secret with issuer/contract namespace, splittable. No conditional script.

Bitcoin ARK Arbitrable non-splittable

VTXO / signature-controlled. Supports 2-of-2 referee-style release and refund.

RGB20 Arbitrable splittable

Fungible RGB asset. Programmable state via RGB server / AluVM / HTLC predicate.

RGB21 Arbitrable non-splittable

Non-fungible RGB asset. Programmable, non-splittable state via RGB server / AluVM.

At least one side of any cross-rail exchange involving a bearer asset must be referee-arbitrable or contract-arbitrable: Bitcoin ARK or RGB. Two bearer rails together cannot be made safe and are rejected.

How it settles

Publish

Makers sign limit orders and publish them into a peer-replicated orderbook torrent. Publishing costs 0.1% of order value, paid to active seeders.

Discover

Each wallet sorts the locally observed book by price. A market order walks that book; the taker chooses which orders to fill.

Settle

The taker submits exact order requests. The arbitrable leg releases only against fresh proof the other leg reached the required state.

Worked fee example: publishing an order worth 1.000 units costs 0.001 units (0.1%); with 10 active seeders that is 0.0001 units (0.01%) each. See orderbook economics.
