# Global Currency Expansion

> Open-source currency configs and SLA-gated promotion framework

Adding a new country today requires manual coordination with no standard process. Local knowledge is siloed. The expansion framework solves this by making country configs open-source and promotion criteria transparent.

## Framework Components

* **Open-source country YAML configs** capturing local payment-rail knowledge
* **Alpha environment** where new currencies launch with explicit "no SLA guaranteed" framing
* **Public health metrics** (settlement rate, dispute rate, volume) that gate promotion to the main app

## Promotion Flow

    pr[ConfigPR] --> merge[MergedConfig]
    merge --> alpha[AlphaLaunch]
    alpha --> sla{SLAThresholdMet}
    sla -->|yes| main[MainPromotion]
    sla -->|no| iterate[IterateAndRetest]
    iterate --> alpha
```

## Why This Matters

The bottleneck for geographic expansion is local knowledge. Open-source configs let anyone with local expertise propose a new currency. Public SLA gates ensure quality without requiring HQ to manually evaluate every market.
