Count crypto as reserves. Pledge it as collateral. Prove both on‑chain.

DAVC Network is the verification and collateral-control layer for crypto in mortgage lending. Certificates let lenders count custodied crypto toward reserves. Tri-party control agreements let borrowers pledge it against a mortgage, marked to market until payoff.

Illustrative certificate. Custodians, balances, and prices are examples, not live data.

Crypto counted as reserves, verified continuously.

A DAVC certificate lets a lender count a borrower's custodied crypto toward reserve requirements. It stays live, revalued against oracle prices and the latest signed attestation, and it says so the moment coverage falls short.

  • Signed custody attestations

    The custodian's registered operator submits balances signed with a registered key. Increasing nonces reject replays, expired attestations are refused, and one borrower can hold across several custodians.

  • Valued certificates

    Issued only against valid attestations. Holdings cannot exceed attested balances, and USD value is computed on-chain from oracle prices less asset-tier haircuts, against the required reserve.

  • Continuous re‑verification

    Certificates are revalued as prices and attestations change: deficient when eligible value falls below the reserve, active again when it recovers, closed at expiry.

  • Compliance queue

    Loan files, KYC exceptions, deficiency alerts, and audit export. Approve or fund with a full trail of who did what and when.

Crypto pledged as mortgage collateral, under a control agreement.

The borrower keeps their crypto with a qualified custodian. A tri-party control agreement gives the lender control over it, and the chain keeps score from pledge to payoff.

  1. Lender proposes

    Names the pledged assets, the loan they secure, the LTV thresholds, and the cure period.

  2. Borrower accepts

    Signs the terms on-chain. The crypto stays with the qualified custodian, not the lender.

  3. Qualified custodian acknowledges

    Its registered operator confirms the assets are locked under the agreement. Control is now in place.

Illustrative values on a $400,000 loan. Thresholds, haircuts, and cure periods are set per agreement and by protocol parameters.
  1. Mark to market

    Collateral is revalued continuously from oracle prices, less a haircut set by asset tier, against the outstanding loan balance.

  2. Margin call

    Crossing the margin-call threshold opens a call with a cure deadline. A custodian-attested top-up cures it.

  3. Default

    A call still open past its deadline moves the position to defaulted. Nothing liquidates on its own.

  4. Liquidation

    The lender instructs. The custodian executes and confirms proceeds, which are recorded as a payment on the loan.

  5. Release

    On payoff, the lender releases the collateral and the custodian's lock comes off.

Built for people who get audited.

Lenders set terms. Custodian operators sign attestations and confirm control. Compliance closes exceptions. Admins export the pack when someone asks for proof.

  • Certificates

    Issue, revalue, and revoke verification certificates. Status moves between active and deficient as coverage changes, and closes at expiry. Only authorized issuers can mint them.

  • Custody

    Custodian registration is governance-gated. Each custodian signs with registered keys through a registered operator; nonces and expiries stop replays and stale balances. Multi-custodian by design.

  • Collateral control

    Tri-party agreements, collateral positions, margin calls with cure deadlines, liquidation instructions, and release, each tied to the loan and recorded on-chain.

  • Pricing & haircuts

    Oracle prices carry a maximum age, so a stale feed fails closed. Eligibility and haircuts are set per asset tier as protocol parameters, not negotiated per file.

  • Loans & funding

    Application checklist through funding. Escrow and loan modules only move after compliance approval and certificate checks, and liquidation proceeds post as loan payments.

  • Audit trail

    Actor, timestamp, and chain receipt on the actions that matter. Export a pack when someone asks for evidence.

A certificate is re-verified as prices and attestations change. When coverage slips, it says so.

Signed, proven, and on the record.

The checks a diligence reviewer asks about each have a mechanism behind them: a registered custodian key, a zero-knowledge threshold proof, and a receipt for every critical action.

Every critical action leaves a receipt.

Issue, attest, approve, fund: each is timestamped, attributable, and ready when someone asks for evidence.

Only the custodian's key can vouch for a balance.

Attestations are secp256k1-signed by a key the custodian registered, and submitted by its registered operator. Strictly increasing nonces reject replays; expired attestations fail closed.

Prove the threshold, not the balance.

Groth16 zero-knowledge proofs, verified on-chain, let a borrower show holdings clear a required amount without publishing positions or wallet balances.
