Run treasury, trading, tokenization, payments, and user flows under one company-wide wallet layer.

### Deploy on your own terms

SaaS, hybrid, or on-premises. Meet your regulatory requirements without changing the vendor stack.

Data model

## How the platform is organized

The platform has five levels, from the institution down to the token balance. Every level is addressable in the API.

---

- ###

  The contracting institution. It holds every org beneath it and the settings that apply to all of them.

- ###

  A division, legal entity, region or client of the institution. Each org has its own users, credentials and permissions.

- ###

  A group of wallets within an org, separated by purpose or client and sharing one key configuration.

- ###

  A blockchain account derived from a key, with chain access and indexing included. Its tags decide which policies apply.

- ###

  A token or coin balance in a wallet, with its full history indexed.

What is changing

## One wallet to unify every account

Finance runs on many account types, each with its own ledger, intermediaries and hours. A wallet on DFNS does the work of all of them.

### Current account

Stablecoins and tokenized cash. Payments settle in seconds, any day of the week.

### Deposit account

Tokenized deposits issued by the bank, with interest and maturity built into the token.

### Treasury account

Cash and tokenized instruments across entities, in one view and under one set of limits.

### Securities account

Tokenized stock, bonds and funds, ownership recorded and subscriptions settled instantly.

### Custody account

Keys are held under zero trust security and client assets sit in segregated wallets.

### Settlement account

DvP in one transaction, with no settlement cycle and no counterparty exposure.

### Correspondent account

Cross-border transfers wallet to wallet in stablecoins, with no pre-funded balances.

### Collateral account

Collateral is pledged, valued and released by code, for lending, repo and margin.

Wallets are the new\
bank accounts
-------------

Wallets that mirror your org chart. Structure wallet fleets by customer, entity, product, or strategy. Every wallet has an owner, a purpose, and a place in your architecture.

Tags & metadata

Classify wallets by product, segment, geography, asset class, or risk band. Search, audit, and operate groupings of any size.

Sub-organizations

Isolate wallets by client, entity, or partner. Each environment carries its own users, policies, and controls.

Lifecycle

Create, freeze, archive, migrate, and recover wallets via API. Every state change is tracked, assignable, and reversible.

One API for every\
business model
--------------

Cover every customer relationship from one extensible layer — B2B, B2B2C, B2B2B — without rebuilding the stack.

Wallet hierarchies

Group wallets into treasuries, books, portfolios, or master-sub models. Apply policies, reporting, and reconciliation top down.

White-label

Provision wallets for your customers, partners, or their users. Embedded in your product, branded as yours.

Ownership & isolation

Isolate clients, roles, and activity down to the key. Bind wallets to users, orgs, sub-orgs, or teams. Govern from the top.

Choose who\
holds the keys
--------------

Org-controlled

Wallets owned by your institution. Run treasury, payments, trading, custody, and settlement under your own keys.

User-controlled

Wallets owned by end users through passkeys, biometrics, hardware, or passwords. Your UX, their keys.

Hybrid

Combine institutional controls, user credentials, and policy enforcement for products that require shared responsibility.

Discover how Bridge powers global stablecoin payments.

Discover how HIFI ships payments on DFNS.

Bridge powers global stablecoin payments and moves billions of dollars around the world for companies like Klarna, Coinbase, SpaceX, Remitly, and Shopify, using DFNS.

> Not only did we weather the incident, we came out of it with a healthier, faster, and more reliable system than a week earlier. DFNS was a big part of that.

[Transaction Management ](https://dfns.co/transaction-management)[Workflows](https://dfns.co/workflows)

The wallet layer is highly programmable, and reaching it took minimal integration effort. Support moves fast when something needs attention, and new features land quickly rather than sitting on a roadmap.

> Building our own wallet infrastructure would have meant serious investments. None of that is our core focus as a payment service. DFNS gave us production-ready wallets with strong multi-chain infrastructure and secure passkey authentication our users appreciate. Because DFNS runs the wallet layer, we got faster to market, had less infrastructure overhead, and more confidence in the security of our users' assets.

- 01 · Authenticate

  ### Lock down your perimeter

  Create a service account. Bind a credential. Scope the permissions. Every request is signed before it touches a wallet.

- 02 · Provision

  ### Create your first wallets

  One call. Any network. Funded and addressable in under a second. Scale from one to one billion without rewriting a line.

- 03 · Govern

  ### Code in the rules

  Velocity limits. Address allowlists. M-of-N quorums. ABI-aware checks. Write the policy once. It runs on every wallet that inherits it.

- 04 · Transact

  ### Sign, broadcast, settle

  Tracked every step. One call composes, simulates, evaluates policy, collects approvals, signs, broadcasts, and tracks delivery.
