DALP for Banks
The digital asset platform banks actually need to go live.
Banks entering digital assets face the same requirements they apply to every other system: dual-control governance, auditable operations, regulatory-grade compliance, and integration with existing core banking infrastructure. DALP is designed from the ground up for this environment: maker-checker custody workflows, ex-ante compliance enforcement, atomic DvP settlement, and operational observability that satisfies internal risk, compliance, and audit teams.
Platform Fit
What banks need vs. how DALP delivers
| What banks need | How DALP delivers it |
|---|---|
| Maker-checker approval workflows for every sensitive operation | RBAC/ABAC with maker-checker approval workflows built into every critical operation: token issuance, transfers, compliance rule changes, custody key operations, and administrative actions |
| Regulatory-grade compliance enforcement for investor eligibility and transfer controls | 12 compliance module types enforced ex-ante at the smart contract layer: investor eligibility, jurisdiction restrictions, transfer limits, holding period controls. Every transfer validated before execution via ERC-3643 |
| HSM-compatible key management aligned with bank security standards | Native HSM compatibility, weighted multisig vaults, and bring-your-own-custodian integrations (Fireblocks, DFNS). DALP orchestrates custody policy across existing custodian relationships without acting as custodian |
| Integration with core banking systems, payment rails, and existing custody infrastructure | REST API, GraphQL, event webhooks, ISO 20022 connectivity (SWIFT, SEPA, RTGS). DALP integrates with core banking, custody, risk, and reporting systems via standard APIs without requiring a rebuild |
| Multi-asset support: bonds, deposits, funds, stablecoins, and real estate in one platform | 7 purpose-built asset templates: bonds, deposits, stablecoins, equity, funds, real estate, and precious metals. Each with full lifecycle logic, not generic smart contract templates |
| Atomic DvP settlement to eliminate counterparty risk in institutional trades | XvP/DvP atomic settlement via HTLC hashlock: asset delivery and cash payment finalize simultaneously or both revert. Eliminates counterparty risk and reconciliation gaps |
| On-premises or private cloud deployment for data residency and IT governance | Kubernetes/Helm deployment supports on-prem, private cloud, hybrid, and air-gapped environments. Banks keep all data within their own infrastructure, satisfying IT governance, data residency, and vendor risk requirements |
| Audit trails and observability for internal audit and regulatory examination | 21 pre-built Grafana dashboards, VictoriaMetrics, Loki, Tempo traces, and full on-chain event logging. Every operation — issuance, transfer, compliance check, custody action — is recorded and auditable |
| Operational resilience: disaster recovery, workflow durability, automated alerting | Velero-based backup and DR, Restate durable execution preventing workflow loss on node failure, automated alerting on error rate spikes and chain connectivity issues. 298 CLI commands for operational automation |
Why Choose DALP
3 Reasons Banks Choose DALP for Digital Assets
Banks have seen vendor after vendor fail to clear their governance, compliance, and IT standards. DALP is built to clear them.
Maker-checker workflows, RBAC/ABAC access controls, HSM-compatible custody, and formal recovery procedures are built into every DALP deployment. These aren't add-ons. They are the platform.
12 module types validate every transfer ex-ante: investor eligibility, jurisdiction, transfer limits, holding periods. No compliance breach can occur at the transfer layer. Internal audit gets a full event log of every enforcement decision.
DALP deploys on-premises, in your private cloud, or in hybrid configuration via Kubernetes and Helm. All data stays in your infrastructure. Vendor risk and data residency requirements satisfied from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
DALP is built around the requirements banks actually have: maker-checker approval workflows for dual-control governance, ex-ante compliance enforcement that prevents breaches before they occur, HSM-compatible key management, on-premises deployment, and full audit trails. Most platforms are built for crypto-native or startup issuers and add institutional controls as an afterthought. DALP is institutional-first.
DALP provides REST API, GraphQL, event webhooks, oRPC, and ISO 20022 payment rail connectivity (SWIFT, SEPA, RTGS). Banks integrate DALP with existing core banking, custody, risk, and reporting systems via standard APIs. DALP is designed to operate within existing institutional environments, not replace them.
DALP supports on-premises deployment, allowing banks to keep all data within their own infrastructure. This addresses vendor risk, data residency, and outsourcing concerns that cloud-SaaS-only platforms cannot satisfy. Helm-packaged deployment aligns with bank infrastructure teams' existing Kubernetes practices.
DALP orchestrates custody policy across existing custodian relationships via a bring-your-own-custodian model. Native integrations with Fireblocks and DFNS, HSM compatibility, and weighted multisig vaults allow banks to maintain existing custodian relationships. DALP does not act as custodian itself.
DALP ships 7 purpose-built asset templates: bonds (with automated coupon and maturity), deposits (with interest accrual), stablecoins (with reserve controls), equity, funds (with NAV and AUM fee servicing), real estate, and precious metals. Each template has lifecycle logic specific to that asset type, not a generic smart contract.
