What is DeFlow?
Understand DeFlow's product model, supported deal types, settlement architecture, and operating principles.
DeFlow provides infrastructure for coordinating and settling digital-asset transactions. It gives participants a shared workflow for agreeing terms, satisfying readiness controls, deploying deal-specific escrow, funding, settlement, refunds, and disputes.
Product capabilities
DeFlow's product model brings together:
- OTC settlement: bilateral deal creation, invitation, acceptance, escrow funding, settlement, refund, and dispute handling.
- Syndicates: issuer-led raises with investor allocation requests, approval, per-investor escrow, and coordinated closing.
- Desks and partners: organisational access, attribution, fee schedules, commissions, and partner operations.
- Rewards: VIP progression, fee discounts, referral economics, and controlled reward claims.
- Security and evidence: readiness policies, immutable deal parameters, indexed contract events, and documented governance powers.
How a transaction moves through DeFlow
- A verified participant creates OTC terms or a Syndicate raise.
- Counterparties review the terms; Syndicate investors request allocations for issuer approval.
- DeFlow deploys a complete, immutable Escrow contract at a deterministic CREATE2 address for an OTC deal or approved Syndicate allocation.
- Participants fund the escrow with an asset allowed for that deployment.
- Settlement, refunds, or dispute handling follow the contract's rules and documented governance controls.

Operating principles
- Off-chain application state does not replace on-chain evidence for contract actions.
- Every participant should verify the network, asset, escrow address, roles, amounts, fees, and deadlines before signing.
- Deal-specific Escrow instances are non-upgradeable; governance powers and the upgradeable FeeRouter are documented explicitly.
- Availability, audit, and legal status are stated separately from the intended product design.
The current release runs on Ethereum Sepolia with TestUSDC and is not a production or mainnet settlement service. See Product availability for the current environment and Smart-contract security for governance powers.
