Sign in, set up your organisation and issue a first asset in the Console, then go to the pages for your role. You work in a DALP Instance, one deployment of the platform that your institution runs or that SettleMint operates for you. If an organisation owner invited you, accept the invitation instead of creating an organisation, then go to Issue your first asset once your wallet holds the Asset manager role.
Three steps
1. Create your account and organisation
Sign in, name your organisation, choose its network and custody and deploy.
Two ways to act on the same asset
The Console is the web application your team signs in to and works in by hand. The Platform API lets your own software issue, mint and transfer without a person at each step. Both act on the same token contract, and the transfer rules run inside that contract. An ordinary transfer that fails a rule is refused on chain and no balance changes, whichever surface sends it, which is transfer-path compliance. A custodian's forced transfer and other recorded paths skip some checks, as Transfer-path compliance lists. Every instrument is issued from a template as the same composable token. It can move through design, issuance, servicing and redemption. Servicing covers mints, transfers and income payments, and an instrument is issued halted until it is launched. These stages are its asset lifecycle.
The Console and the Platform API act on one token contract, which checks its transfer rules for either surface at every stage of the asset's life.
