Clearing for tokenized assets. Venues find the price. Indent Layer makes the trade settle.
Indent Layer is not an exchange, a terminal or an aggregator. It sits underneath the venues. A trade that has already been matched, on a DEX, an RFQ desk or a credit market, is handed to us, and we answer for it settling.
Network: Robinhood Chain, chain id 4663. Venues on other chains connect through
bridged assets.
Tokenization does not run out of venues. There will be many of them and they are interchangeable. It runs out of capital.
To settle atomically, both sides must hold the whole asset at the moment of the trade. Money sits frozen against every position, and the size of the market is set by how much capital participants agree to keep dead.
DvP decides who owes whom. Clearing decides where the money comes from.
| Mechanic | What changes |
|---|---|
| Novation | We become the counterparty to both sides. Nobody prices anybody else's credit. |
| Collateral | The right to move volume is granted against collateral, not full prepayment. |
| Netting | Offsetting obligations collapse inside the settlement window. Only the difference settles. |
| Default waterfall | A default is absorbed in a fixed order of layers, not sold into the market. |
Settlement stays closed, solvency does not: see solvency.

Specification stage. This repository carries the model and the integration contract. Nothing here is an offer, a price prediction or a yield promise.
