# SolaceNet — public overview

**Audience:** Institutions, integrators, and supervisors evaluating how **capabilities, policy, and rails** are governed in the DBIS Core stack. This page is **non-operational**: it does not expose credentials, internal endpoints, or live tenant data.

## What SolaceNet is

**SolaceNet** is the **capability and control plane** in DBIS Core: it registers **what** product functions may run (payment gateway, tokenization, limits, fees, **gateway microservices / rail adapters**), for **whom** (tenant, program, region, channel), and under **which policy** (allow/deny, kill switch, audit). The **Go API gateway** (`dbis_core/gateway/go/`) can enforce capability checks at the edge before traffic reaches Node services.

**Rail and messaging protocols** (for example SWIFT families, DTC/DTCC, telegraphic transfer routes, legacy evidence ingest such as KTT) are **maintained under SolaceNet**—see internal governance: `docs/solacenet/RAIL_AND_PROTOCOL_GOVERNANCE.md`.
