# Overview

XIO is built with a reliable, secure, and scalable architecture optimized for high-performance digital asset trading.

With the backplane coded in Rust, it applies a microservice architecture. These services fulfill contracts with core trading interfaces, real-time data processing, and advanced alerting mechanisms.
