Open Source vs. Enterprise

The full engine is open source. Enterprise adds the infrastructure integrations and support that production deployments require.

OPEN SOURCE

CertaCota Core

The complete token economy engine, MIT-licensed, with no artificial feature restrictions.

Streaming transactions — Rate-based balance drain on a continuous time axis
Discrete transactions — Instant debit and credit with full ACID guarantees
Session tagging — Tag transactions with a session identifier to associate streaming drains, charges, and rake in a queryable group
Forward balance estimation — Projected time-to-zero computed from active streaming rate
Rake extraction — Atomic three-way split: platform, operator, and net payout
Real-time transaction events — Every balance movement emits an event — settled, started, ended, threshold crossed — no polling required
Payment-rail decoupling — Engine manages token balances independently of payment processing
Open metadata — Full access to transaction and session metadata

ENTERPRISE

Production-grade integrations, SLA coverage, and deployment flexibility for teams running CertaCota at scale.

Event channel adapters — Kafka, AWS SQS, RabbitMQ, and HTTP webhooks for transaction event streaming
Enterprise database support — MySQL, Oracle, and additional databases beyond Postgres
Premium SLA — Defined response time guarantees for production incidents
Disaster recovery — High-availability deployment options with failover configuration
On-premise hosting — Deploy inside your own infrastructure, fully air-gapped if required
Long-term archiving — Configurable strategies for multi-year transaction record retention
