What is DALP?

DALP is a platform for issuing, managing, and servicing regulated digital assets across their lifecycle.

DALP is a digital asset lifecycle platform for institutions that issue, manage, and service regulated tokenized instruments. A DALP Instance is one self-contained copy of the platform, deployed inside a boundary your institution controls and connected to the ledger networks you approve. Inside that instance, your team defines an instrument, issues its tokens, controls who can hold and receive them, and services the asset through its full asset lifecycle, from issuance to final redemption.

Two facts set how DALP issues a product. Every instrument, whatever its shape, deploys as the same composable token contract, configured at issuance instead of built fresh each time. And the transfer rules your institution sets, who may hold the asset and who may receive it, run inside the token's own on-chain transfer, not as a separate check performed beside it. A transfer that fails any rule reverts on chain, so transfer-path compliance holds no matter which surface submitted it.

DALP offers two working surfaces for that same instance. The Console is the web application your team signs in to and operates by hand. The Platform API lets connected systems issue, mint, or transfer assets without a person completing each operation in the Console. Both surfaces act on the same ledger contract for an asset, so a rule you configure holds regardless of which surface moves the tokens. An asset moves through design and issuance before servicing and redemption.

One asset, two surfaces, one shared contractThe Console and the Platform API are two separate ways to work. Both act on the same ledger contract for an asset, so a rule enforced through one surface holds when the other surface moves the same tokens. The contract supports design and issuance, an optional paused review state, ongoing operations, and redemption.WEB APPLICATIONConsoleCONNECTED SYSTEMSPlatform APISHARED FOUNDATIONOne ledger contract per assetBoth surfaces write to the same on-chain rulesISSUANCE TO REDEMPTIONDesigntemplate,facts, rulesIssuedeployment,token, rolesPausedreviewable,no supplyServicemint, pay,transferRetireredeem,burnsBoth surfaces reach every stage of an asset's life.Which one you use depends on who or what is acting.Two interfaces operate the same asset.The Console and Platform API operate the same configured token.

Start with account and organisation setup, then issue a first asset. If you already know your role, choose the Console, integration, or deployment guides under "Where to go next". Read the relevant concept before configuring an unfamiliar production workflow.

Create your account and organisation

For a first-time user at an institution deploying DALP. Sign in, name your organisation, select its network and custody model, and complete the first deployment.

Issue your first asset

Continue after organisation setup. Create an asset class, issue an instrument, mint tokens, and transfer them to a recipient.

Where to go next

For a reader who already knows their role. Pick your path: Console operations, software integration, or platform deployment.
