norm.cash ↔ norm.game — system architecture
norm.cash is the embedded wallet & payments engine. norm.game is the only surface players touch — every money action is embedded in-site.
Core principle — zero off-site redirects. Deposit, buy-with-card, swap, and withdraw all happen inside norm.game as embedded components. Players never leave the game to manage funds. Sending a player elsewhere is a chance to lose them.

norm.game — the only place players go. Embeds the wallet panel + games.
norm.cash engine — ledger, custody, swap, on-ramp orchestration. Backend + widgets, not a destination.
Two API surfaces — Wallet API (bets) + Payments API (deposit/withdraw/swap/on-ramp).
External / rented — on-ramps (embedded), custody, swap liquidity, blockchains.
Customer journey — all on norm.game
Sign up once → one norm account (works on norm.game, and on norm.cash if they ever want it).
Fund it — without leaving norm.game — by depositing crypto or buying with a card through one of the embedded on-ramp integrations (MoonPay, Swapped, and others to come). However they pay, it lands as a balance in the ledger.
Swap to the play currency (USDT) in the same embedded panel — so game odds and accounting stay stable while BTC/ETH move.
Play. Every spin fires a real-time debit (stake) then credit (win) to the wallet API. Balance updates live, in-game.
Withdraw — also in-game. The ledger debits and custody signs the on-chain send. No redirect, ever.
The two API surfaces (norm.game embeds → norm.cash engine)
Wallet API — bets
GET /balancePOST /debitPOST /creditPOST /rollback
Real-time, idempotent. Every spin debits the stake and credits the win against the ledger. Retries never double-charge.
Payments API — money movement
POST /depositPOST /withdrawPOST /swapPOST /onramp-session
Powers the embedded wallet panel: generate deposit addresses, sign withdrawals via custody, run swaps, spin up an embedded on-ramp session — all without leaving norm.game.
Game studios integrate once through an aggregator that speaks the Wallet API pattern. The embedded wallet panel is norm.game's own UI calling the Payments API. On-ramp providers render as widgets inside that panel — never a redirect to their site.
norm.cash = the wallet & treasury engine · norm.game = the casino floor + embedded wallet · players never leave the floor.
One custodial ledger; funds are used, deposited, swapped and withdrawn all in-context on norm.game.
