New here? Start with the Discover tab, from Why TetraFi: it gives the full picture of what is possible and where each primitive applies before you pick an API.
What You’re Building On
Every institutional settlement carries three costs: principal risk, the gross settlement toll, and trapped liquidity. TetraFi runs one primitive against each. The three are composable - use one or all, each on the same shared liquidity and settlement network - and every deployment is modular, under full institutional control: your own immutable on-chain router, the venues, LPs, and jurisdictions it reaches, and how your compliance pipeline is composed. One compliance policy gates every layer. Own the deployment, share the network.Each Primitive, One Level Deeper
Settlement rails- The invariant: funds move only on a signed order’s terms, through your own immutable router, into an escrow that releases against proof of delivery or refunds through a path nobody can pause.
- What you integrate: quote, preflight, sign, submit. The preflight plan is the whole contract.
- What never changes: custody stays on your side; an upgrade only ever adds a venue module.
- The invariant: your trade price is never touched. A run only decides who pays whom how much, by atomic multilateral set-off, with a validity proof checked on-chain first.
- What you integrate: one extra choice per settlement - instant, or clear at a deadline you pick at a tighter price - plus a member surface for obligations, positions, runs, and notices.
- What never changes: the residual settles on the rails, in your own policy domain, readable only inside your own slice.
- The invariant: a draw is a priced exchange verified in the transaction that makes it, funding the fill or settlement leg itself, never a wallet, and encumbered only while live, only to that obligation.
- What you integrate: draw, deposit, or curate.
- What never changes: every draw re-runs your compliance policy; custody, routing, and obligation stay separate.
