# Overall Design Principles

OptiView follows a **layered, decoupled, event-driven architecture with online inference**.\
The system is designed to unify **multi-chain data ingestion**, **asset aggregation and risk control**, and **AI-driven market intelligence**, while maintaining a beginner-friendly experience through integrated education and task loops.

At a high level:

* **Lower layers** handle multi-chain and multi-protocol data collection
* **Middle layers** focus on portfolio aggregation and risk labeling
* **Upper layers** deliver AI analysis, personalization, and user-facing insights
* A dedicated **Swap Aggregator layer** integrates third-party APIs for optimal execution

The platform includes a built-in **Beginner Mode** (term explanations, guided steps, risk tooltips) and a **security-first design** (contract/token risk scoring and real-time alerts) to reduce learning and usage barriers.
