# System Architecture (Concept)

RUGGuardium’s architecture is structured around three functional layers:

1. **Protocol Layer**\
   Hosts smart contracts responsible for integrity scoring, liquidity tracking, and security event triggers.
2. **Validation Layer**\
   A distributed network of validators that assess smart contract interactions, submit risk metrics, and participate in consensus verification.
3. **Application Layer**\
   Developer-facing SDKs, APIs, and dashboards for project registration, data access, and analytical visualization.

This modular setup allows future multi-chain deployment without rebuilding the protocol core.
