# Architecture and Auditability

AIR3 documentation describes a multi-layer transparency model designed to make protocol behavior and trade communication easier to verify.

## Transparency layers

### 1) Product interface transparency

AIRdApp and AIRTrack provide user-facing visibility into product modules, tracked trades, and performance views.

### 2) Social trade traceability

AIR3 publishes trade-related updates on X through the official AIRRewardrop account:

* <https://x.com/AIRewardrop>

Trade communication includes:

* a trade announcement at position opening
* a closing confirmation card with realized PnL
* a public timeline that can be cross-referenced with AIRdApp/AIRTrack context

### 3) Protocol and accounting transparency

The protocol section documents:

* vault share logic
* pro-rata withdrawal processing
* ExitTicket settlement flow
* epoch accounting and rewards split
* user exclusion rules that prevent double allocation

This makes the accounting model understandable before reading contract-level implementation details.

### 4) On-chain auditability (where deployed)

Where protocol smart contracts are deployed, on-chain events and balances provide an auditable record of key accounting actions and distribution flows.

The documentation describes expected event semantics and accounting behavior; deployed contract versions remain the source of truth for implementation-specific details.

## Architectural principle

AIR3 uses layered transparency rather than relying on a single interface:

* **social visibility** for public trade communication
* **product UI visibility** for operational tracking and user navigation
* **protocol documentation** for accounting logic
* **on-chain records** for verifiable execution and settlement state (where deployed)
