Overview
Index of the primary operational flows in the Digital Asset Lifecycle Platform, covering platform-level transaction sequences and capability-specific distribution and settlement workflows.
Purpose
This section documents the end-to-end operational flows that orchestrate digital asset lifecycle events across DALP's four platform layers.
- Doc type: Reference
What you'll find here
- Step-by-step sequence for each flow, from trigger to confirmed outcome
- Which platform layers and components participate in each flow
- Failure modes and recovery behavior at each step
- Invariants that must hold throughout each flow
- Observability hooks for monitoring flow execution
Platform flows
Platform flows are foundational sequences that underpin all DALP operations. Every capability flow builds on one or more of these.
| Flow | Trigger | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Signing flow | Any blockchain write operation | Transaction signed by custody provider and broadcast to network |
| Asset issuance | Issuer creates a new digital asset | Token contract deployed, compliance configured, initial supply minted |
| Compliance transfer | Token holder initiates transfer | Transfer validated against compliance rules and executed on-chain |
| Feeds update flow | Issuer publishes signed price data | Value validated, stored, indexed, and available to consumers |
Capability flows
Capability flows implement specific business operations. Each composes platform flows with additional domain logic for distribution, settlement, or offering management.
| Flow | Trigger | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| DAIO offering | Issuer opens a Digital Asset Initial Offering | Investors subscribe, tokens allocated, lock-up enforced |
| Airdrop distribution | Issuer initiates airdrop to holder list | Tokens distributed to eligible wallets in batch |
| Treasury distribution | Scheduled or manual distribution trigger | Settlement currency paid from asset treasury to investors |
| XvP settlement | Settlement instruction submitted | Atomic exchange of tokens against payment between counterparties |
How flows relate to platform layers
Each flow traverses multiple layers. The Asset Console or Unified API receives the initial request. The DALP Execution Engine orchestrates the multi-step sequence with durable state. The SMART Protocol enforces on-chain invariants. Custody providers sign and broadcast the final transactions.
Flows are the primary unit of reliability analysis. Each flow page documents where failures can occur and how the Execution Engine recovers.

Issuer-Signed Scalar Feed
The Issuer-Signed Scalar Feed is a factory-deployed capability that allows asset issuers to publish cryptographically signed price data with configurable history retention, drift protection, and fixed-point precision.
Signing Flow
End-to-end transaction signing sequence in DALP, from on-chain compliance validation through the unified signer interface to MPC custody providers (DFNS and Fireblocks), including custodian policy evaluation and blockchain broadcast.
