The architecture of the CyberTrade organisation must be capable of delivering yield to crypto investors under a variety of market conditions and shifting political/economic environments.
Considerable attention is therefore being paid to both the design of the trading services and to the design of the organisation behind them.
CyberTrade is developing its Architecture using, holistic, formal methods based on the TOGAF methodology and framework, developed by The Open Group.
1. The Architectural Development Method (ADM) is being followed to develop the underlying architecture of CyberTrade.
4. The Information Systems Architecture (ISA) defines the applications and data that will be created to provide CyberTrade services.
2. A holistic approach is being taken to ensure that a variety of viewpoints are considered at every stage of development
5. The Technology Architecture describes the logical and physical technology components used to support the Information Systems Architecture.
3. The Business Architecture supports a yield generating Decentralised Autonomous Organisation / crypto ecosystem.
6. Architecture realisation encompasses both a) Opportunities, Solutions and planning and b) Implementation Governance, required to realise CyberTrade.

CyberTrade is using formal/professional methods to establish its Architecture.
This includes defining the overall vision, the opportunities available and planning coordinated actions for success.
The ADM helps define the architecture required to support CyberTrade as a yield generating Decentralised Organisation and for creating a strong economy for the CYBER utility token.
CyberTrade is designing its systems using the TOGAF methodology and framework in which the overall architecture is developed within the context of 4 architecture types.
Business Architecture
Application Architecture
Data Architecture
Technology Architecture
Taken together, this will ensure that the actual trading services are set into the appropriate business and technological contexts.
The CyberTrade Architecture vision comprises:
Business Strategy
Technology Strategy
Business Principle Objectives and Drivers
Architecture Vision
Stakeholders
This enables CyberTrade to take its holistic approach
Ultimately, each component feeds into the CyberTrade requirements backlog which is used to prioritise and execute future actions.
CyberTrade is aware that it is creating a whole new business ecosystem. Business Architecture is therefore considered from the perspectives of:
Motivations
Organisation
Behaviour
The Business Architecture is used to identify and demonstrate to stakeholders, the return on investment available from investing in specific areas.
By conducting the Business Architecture analysis, CyberTrade ensures that investment of resources is aimed at the most important areas and that a viable business emerges.
CyberTrade uses Information Systems Architecture (ISA) to develop the 'target architecture' in both the Data and application domains.
The data and the applications are developed using a data-driven approach.
Implementation occurs using a top-down design and a bottom-up implementation.
The output of the Information Systems Architecture work is a 'Baseline' Target Architecture and a number of architecture views from stakeholder points of view.
Feedback from work conducted during ISA , updates the business requirements.
CyberTrade conducts Technology Architecture to form the basis of the technical implementation work that follows.
A detailed 7-step process is used to arrive at a detailed view of the target technical architecture.
The CyberTrade architecture is being realised by combining:
Opportunities, Solution and Planning
Implementation Governance
Taken together, these enable CyberTrade to deliver its trading systems via a robust architecture which is secure, scalable, performant and efficient.
The primary role of the business architecture is to ensure that the business objectives are identified for delivery.
The role of the technical architecture is to ensure that the technology adequately supports the business objectives
Governance is applied to help ensure that future versions of CyberTrade are introduced in a responsible way.
