Proven at $1T+ lifetime volume |
| Asset lifecycle coverage | Full lifecycle: issuance, compliance, custody, atomic settlement, servicing (coupons, dividends, redemptions, maturity), and retirement across 7 asset types | Strong issuance and exchange trading. Limited public evidence of automated post-issuance servicing: coupon payments, corporate actions, and redemptions at scale not documented |

KYC/AML via Sumsub and Netki partner integrations. AlphaPoint is not a regulated entity: clients must obtain their own licenses |
| Custody controls | Bring-your-own-custodian: Fireblocks, DFNS. Maker-checker approval workflows, RBAC/ABAC, HSM compatibility, weighted multisig vaults, formal recovery procedures | Fireblocks custody integration. Exchange-oriented key management. Maker-checker workflows and HSM compatibility not documented |
| Atomic settlement (DvP/XvP) | Atomic DvP and XvP via HTLC hashlock with escrow-based approval, AES-256-GCM encryption. Both legs complete together or both revert | Settlement via exchange matching engine. $5B+ monthly transaction volume. Traditional exchange settlement model, not atomic DvP with separate asset and cash legs |
| Deployment model | On-premises, cloud, hybrid, air-gapped. Helm/Kubernetes with Velero backup/DR. Full data residency and sovereignty support | Microsoft Azure strategic partnership. Cloud-hosted with white-label customization. On-premises deployment flexibility less documented than DALP |
| Observability and developer tooling | 21 pre-built Grafana dashboards, VictoriaMetrics, Loki, Tempo, 298 CLI commands. REST API, GraphQL, event webhooks, oRPC | No public SDK documentation or developer portal evidenced. Platform is sales-led/white-label oriented. Operational tooling documentation not publicly available |
| Track record | Multi-year live deployments with regulated banks, market infrastructure, and sovereign entities across MENA, Europe, and APAC | 12+ years, 150+ exchanges powered, SOC 2 certified. References include CME Group, Bancolombia (Wenia), and government programs |
Why Choose DALP
3 Reasons Regulated Institutions Choose DALP Over AlphaPoint
AlphaPoint excels at exchange infrastructure and trading volume. For institutions that need regulated asset lifecycle management with institutional governance controls, DALP covers different ground.
DALP automates coupon payments, dividend distributions, redemptions, and maturity events across 7 asset types. AlphaPoint is strong on issuance and trading; automated post-issuance servicing at asset class level is not evidenced in public materials.
DALP enforces 12 compliance module types ex-ante: every transfer validated before execution. AlphaPoint provides KYC/AML partner integrations but is not a regulated entity. Clients must obtain their own licenses and build compliance on top.
21 pre-built Grafana dashboards, 298 CLI commands, and a public API surface ship with DALP. AlphaPoint has no documented developer portal, SDK, or public observability tooling. Running digital asset operations requires knowing what's happening.

Frequently Asked Questions
AlphaPoint provides white-label exchange software, tokenization infrastructure, and brokerage solutions, proven at $1T+ lifetime trading volume across 150+ exchanges. DALP provides end-to-end lifecycle management for regulated financial institutions: issuance, compliance enforcement, custody integration, atomic settlement, and automated post-issuance servicing. Different focus: exchange operations vs. regulated asset lifecycle management.
AlphaPoint is not a regulated entity. It holds SOC 1 and SOC 2 certifications and integrates KYC/AML tools (Sumsub, Netki), but clients must obtain their own regulatory licenses. DALP is also a platform provider — regulatory approval for your use case is managed by your legal team — but DALP's 12 compliance module types provide deeper ex-ante technical enforcement than AlphaPoint's partner-integration model.
No. DALP does not provide exchange matching engine software. DALP focuses on regulated asset lifecycle management with atomic DvP/XvP settlement for institutional bilateraltrading. AlphaPoint's strength is powering high-volume exchange operations. These are different capabilities for different use cases.
Yes. DALP includes XvP and DvP atomic settlement via HTLC hashlock: both the asset and cash legs complete together or both revert. AlphaPoint settles through its exchange matching engine, which is a different settlement model from atomic bilateral DvP.
Yes. DALP supports on-premises and air-gapped deployment via Kubernetes and Helm with Velero backup and disaster recovery. AlphaPoint operates with a Microsoft Azure strategic partnership and cloud-hosted model. On-premises flexibility is less documented for AlphaPoint.
