Design partner program

Shape the ledger you'll build on.

Design partners are a small group of teams building serious value-movement systems who work with us closely during private preview — bringing a real workload, getting direct access to the engineering team, and influencing what the engine becomes.

A mutual commitment

A partnership, not a trial.

Design partnership works because both sides put something real in. Here's the exchange, stated plainly.

What you get

A line to the engineering team

Talk directly to the people building the engine — not a ticket queue.

Influence over the roadmap

Your workload's needs weigh directly on what we prioritize next.

Early access to new capabilities

Evaluate what's next before it's broadly available.

Hands-on integration support

Help modeling your ledger and wiring the SDK and gateway surfaces.

Evidence for your review board

Correctness and recovery artifacts you can take to architecture and security review.

What we ask

A real workload to model

Actual value-movement patterns from your system — not a toy example.

Regular, candid feedback

Tell us what works, what's missing, and what would block adoption.

A named technical contact

Someone on your side who owns the evaluation and can make decisions.

Willingness to run drills

Participate in controlled recovery and correctness exercises.

Time from your team

A working cadence across the engagement, not a one-off review.

How the engagement works

From first conversation to a working pilot.

A design partnership moves through four stages. Each one has a clear purpose, so both sides know whether to continue.

Fit conversation

We confirm the workload is a fit for a ledger-first engine and that the timing works for both sides.

Scoped evaluation

Architecture review of your value-movement model, mapped onto the write path and reservation lifecycle.

Integration pilot

Wire a representative workload through SDK and gateway surfaces and observe recovery behavior.

Feedback loop

A working cadence where your findings shape fixes and roadmap priorities.

Who it's for

A good design partner looks like this.

Ledger is core, not incidental

Balances, holds, and settlement are central to your product — correctness has to be a platform guarantee.

You have a real workload

Concrete value-movement patterns and volume you can bring — enough to stress the model meaningfully.

You'll engage closely

A named technical owner and a team ready to give candid feedback across the engagement.

Still private preview: a design partnership is for architecture review, performance review, and controlled integration pilots. It is not a statement of general availability, production certification, or deployment approval — production use still requires deployment-specific security review, operational drills, and validation.

Bring a real workload. Help shape the engine.
