Compose

Build workflows
from real primitives

Service accounts, webhooks, policies, every primitive is composable. Wire them together to model anything you do today.

Service accounts

Machine identities with scoped permissions. One per workflow, one per environment. Audited like any user.

Webhooks on every event

Every state change emits a signed, idempotent event. Subscribe once, react forever. No polling, no drift.

Idempotent APIs

All endpoints accept external IDs. Retries are safe. Crashes recoverable. Duplicate requests return the initial response.

Trigger

Events fire,
workflows run.

Inbound deposits. Pending approvals. Confirmed transactions. Policy violations. Wallet creations. Credential rotations. Every onchain or platform event can drive a workflow. The runtime is yours — DFNS delivers the signal.

Onchain events

Deposit detected, transaction confirmed, contract function called, balance crossed a threshold. Real-time across 100+ chains.

Platform events

Approval requested, wallet created, policy modified, credential rotated. Operational events, not just transactional ones.

Scheduled runs

Cron the routine. Sweep balances nightly. Rebalance yields monthly. Close books quarterly. Service accounts execute under policy on the schedule you set.

Decide

Programmable approvals,
in TypeScript

Service accounts read pending requests, decode the ABI-encoded call data, call any HTTP API or database, and post Approve / Reject / Abstain decisions. Plain TypeScript. No DSL. Your business rules, your code.

Maker / Checker pattern

Initiators and approvers are distinct identities. The platform enforces separation of duties cryptographically — no self-approval, no shortcuts. The four-eyes principle, encoded.

ABI-aware logic

Decode any smart contract call. Apply per-function rules. Allow mint to whitelisted recipients only. Cap transfer per call. Reject unknown selectors. Sanctions-screen any address.

Escalation paths

Service accounts handle the 95% routine. Humans handle the 5% exceptions. Abstain when uncertain — humans in the same approval group take it from there. Auto-escalation, not auto-rejection.

Audit

Every step,
signed and logged

Every action — initiated, approved, signed, broadcast — is cryptographically attributed and stored. Non-repudiation by construction. Auditors and regulators read the same logs your ops team does.

Cryptographic provenance

Every decision is signed by the identity that made it. Service account or human, the chain of custody is unbroken and verifiable.

Full activity history

Filter by user, wallet, policy, contract, date. Export to CSV. Stream to your SIEM. Query through the API. The audit trail lives where you need it.

Compliance-ready

SOC2, ISO 27001. The audit trail satisfies internal and external review. No reconstruction, no excuses, no Excel exports.

Discover how Nilos runs operations on DFNS.

As a regulated custodian committed to the highest standards of compliance, our partnership with DFNS has been crucial. Their security best practices, programmatic developer tools, and robust infrastructure help us carry out carefully controlled operations. We also appreciate their team as they provide responsive support and sub-hour troubleshooting.

Raphaël Fettaya CEO, Nilos
Maker, checker, watcher

Service accounts handle the routine. Humans handle the exceptions. DFNS tracks everything that happens in-between.

Events to actions

Every onchain or platform state change fires a signed webhook. Every webhook drives a workflow. No polling, no miss.

Programmable in TypeScript

No DSL to learn. Decode any ABI, call any HTTP API, query any database, post any decision. The runtime is your stack.

Audited end to end

Every action, every approval, every API call, cryptographically signed and logged. Non-repudiation without paperwork.


FAQ

Common questions
about financial workflow automation

What are financial workflows in the context of digital assets?
Financial workflows are governed, automated sequences for recurring operations — payments, treasury sweeps, token distributions, and admin tasks. DFNS workflows are built on real operational primitives: events trigger actions, every action is signed by MPC, and every step is logged. No automated action can bypass your governance policies.
What types of workflows can I automate with DFNS?
DFNS supports automated treasury sweeps, scheduled payments, batch token distributions, wallet provisioning, and approval escalation chains. Workflows can be triggered by onchain events, webhooks, time schedules, or API calls. Complex multi-step flows — collect, convert, pay — are composed from the same governance-enforced primitives as manual operations.
Can I write custom workflow logic?
Yes. DFNS exposes a TypeScript SDK for building custom workflow logic. Standard workflow templates cover the most common treasury and payment patterns; the SDK lets you compose custom sequences using wallet operations, policy checks, and signing primitives. Every custom workflow inherits the same audit trail and policy enforcement as built-in flows.
How does DFNS ensure automated workflows remain compliant?
Every step in a DFNS workflow is subject to the same policy engine as manual operations. Approvals, velocity caps, and KYT checks cannot be bypassed by automation. If a workflow step fails a policy check, it is escalated for human review — not silently dropped or auto-approved. The full decision trail is logged for audit.
