RFC 003: Quantum Entangled Payment Methods
Tags: opensource, rust, payments, hiring
Published: 2024-04-01 13:45:08

## I. Objective

This RFC presents an approach for reducing application latency using quantum entanglement. Currently Hyperswitch is optimized for sub 30ms application overhead. By integrating advanced quantum mechanics with traditional networking principles, Hyperswitch aims to revolutionize payment processing speeds, security, and inter-dimensional commerce.

## II. Proposal

Modern networking technologies have reached their limits in terms of speed and efficiency, often constrained by the limitations of spacetime. Hyperswitch proposes the use of quantum entangled wormholes to bypass these limitations entirely. This approach allows for instantaneous data transfer and transaction processing across the multiverse.

### Data Transmission

In this approach, payment method data is transformed into qubits and transmitted through PCI compliant quantum entangled wormholes. These wormholes act as portals between different points in spacetime, allowing for instantaneous data transfer without the constraints of traditional networking protocols.

### Payment Processing

Similarly, Hyperswitch leverages these wormholes for payment processing, enabling instant and secure transactions across multiple dimensions. Users can simply select the Hyperswitch payment option during checkout, and the transaction will be processed through a quantum entangled wormhole to the merchant's account in their respective dimension. This is made possible through Hyperswitch’s direct connection to major wormholes across dimensions.

### Security and Reliability

Quantum entangled wormholes offer unparalleled security and reliability. Any attempt to intercept or tamper with the data or transaction would collapse the quantum state, rendering the information unreadable and invalidating the transaction. Additionally, the self-healing nature of the entangled wormholes ensures persistent delivery retry and automatic audit trails.

## III. Open Questions

- What are the ethical implications of interdimensional commerce?
- How can we ensure backward compatibility with existing payment systems across different dimensions?
- How will payments be routed through wormholes?
- How many direct connections will be necessary?

## Frame Format

Data and transactions are encoded into qubits and transmitted through quantum entangled wormholes. The bandwidth and MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) of the wormholes are theoretically unlimited, allowing for high-speed data transfer and large-scale transaction processing across multiple dimensions.

## Security Considerations

While security is inherently robust due to the principles of quantum mechanics, additional measures such as quantum encryption and multi-dimensional authentication protocols may be required to protect against advanced threats from alternate realities or parallel dimensions.

## IV. Conclusion

Hyperswitch's proposal to use quantum entangled wormholes for data transmission and payment processing represents a significant leap forward in the field of networking and commerce. By overcoming the limitations of traditional spacetime-based technologies, Hyperswitch aims to create a truly interconnected and secure global marketplace across the multiverse.

Embark on an enlightening journey through the intricate world of payments. These blogs are your compass to navigate the complexities of the payment galaxy. 

As developers, we create a lot of value through the applications we build. Payments are the means to capture some of that value for ourselves. Surprisingly, the effort to set up a payments stack is often exaggerated. This is what we aim to solve at Hyperswitch by building a free and open payments switch. If you resonate with this vision, you can join the movement to help build an open payments ecosystem!
