Overview
Devine OS - Deterministic settlement for active management across chains and venues.
Overview
Active management is increasingly executed across multiple chains, protocols, and centralized venues. Institutional allocation and fund administration, however, still assume a single ownership ledger, a single NAV, and a rules-based settlement process. When positions and collateral are spread across venues, ownership records fragment, NAV turns into reconciliation, and liquidity becomes an operational decision. For a strategy to be allocatable as one product, it needs one investor register, one valuation methodology, and a deterministic redemption mechanism.
Devine OS is the system architecture that turns those requirements into enforcement. It separates the execution layer (where the strategy trades) from the investor layer (where ownership, NAV, and liquidity terms are defined), then binds them with explicit state transitions enforced by the vault. Off-chain services can coordinate venue execution, but they cannot change investor state unless the on-chain conditions are satisfied.
At a system level, capital flows are simple state machines. Deposits move from quoted to in-flight to confirmed: the investor is quoted at current NAV, capital is routed to the execution venue, and shares mint only after capital arrival is verified and NAV is fresh, within defined drift bounds. Withdrawals move from initiated to batched to settled: shares are locked at initiation, requests are aggregated into a batch, positions are unwound and liquidity is bridged, batch liquidity is confirmed on-chain, and investors are paid out pro-rata from that confirmed batch.
The ownership layer is a tokenized vault on a settlement domain that acts as the canonical cap table. Investors hold standardized shares representing proportional claims on total strategy assets and PnL. Shares are minted and burned only through contract-controlled workflows, so allocations do not depend on internal spreadsheets or venue statements. Execution can occur across venues while ownership remains singular and auditable.
The valuation layer defines how total assets are computed across distributed positions. NAV aggregates on-chain holdings and venue state, including balances, open positions, unrealized PnL, and pending settlements, with explicit accounting for pending deposits and reserved withdrawal liquidity. NAV updates are published on-chain with freshness guarantees, and the vault blocks subscriptions and redemptions when valuations are stale. Valuation becomes an enforced state variable rather than a discretionary mark.
The settlement layer defines when subscriptions and redemptions become final. Deposits are quoted at NAV and confirmed only when settlement conditions are met, including capital arrival at the execution venue and an updated NAV. Share issuance is deterministic, with drift bounds between quote and confirmation to prevent timing dilution. Withdrawals settle through defined windows with batch-level liquidity accounting, and the contract enforces that no investor settlement can exceed confirmed batch liquidity.
Control and custody constrain asset movement to verifiable policy. Venue keys are protected by threshold cryptography in hardware-attested environments, and every signing request is limited by compiled allowlists and bounds. Separately, the vault enforces invariants that off-chain components cannot bypass, including NAV freshness, drift limits, replay protection, and batch accounting.
For investors, this produces a subscribable structure with a single share register, a canonical NAV with freshness enforcement, and explicit subscription and redemption mechanics. For mandates, settlement domains, liquidity terms, and withdrawal windows are configurable per mandate. For due diligence, the control model is inspectable through verified contracts, auditable code identity, explicit policy constraints, and an on-chain registry of trusted code hashes.
