Caplifi · dTrust
Trusts that execute in code.
dTrust is a smart-contract layer for transferring and stewarding digital and physical assets. Attorney-drafted documents define intent; vault contracts enforce distribution, vesting, and shared authority without opaque intermediaries.
Two product lines share one engine: personal cryptocurrency succession as an execution layer inside traditional estate plans, and governance of shared rights such as water allocations and conservation easements.
Two lines, one vault engine
Inheritance and commons governance.
Personal succession
Cryptocurrency and digital asset inheritance integrated with attorney-drafted wills and trusts. Beneficiaries, trustees, witnesses, and vesting schedules map to on-chain vault logic — keys and authority stay explicit.
- Traditional will + smart-contract execution
- Beneficiary and trustee roles with audit trail
- Vesting and release conditions in contract logic
Shared-resource governance
Multi-party stewardship for scarce resources held in common — the same headgate ethos Caplifi applies to water rights, easements, and community allocations.
- Multi-signature authority over shared assets
- Transparent, verifiable allocation changes
- Alignment with Headgate Hydro field work
Participants
Every role is explicit.
dTrust workflows mirror established trust law — owner, trustee, beneficiary, witness — with cryptographic enforcement at each handoff.
Owner
Defines the vault, assets, and release rules. Authority originates here and can be revoked only through the same explicit mechanism.
Trustee
Executes distributions and stewardship actions inside the envelope the legal documents and contracts jointly define.
Beneficiary
Receives assets per vesting schedules and conditions — with an append-only record of every transfer event.
Under the hood
Vault factory. Deterministic gates.
Vault contracts
Per-estate or per-resource vaults deployed from a factory pattern. Asset custody rules are inspectable before any funds move.
Legal + code alignment
Attorney-drafted documents remain the source of human intent. Smart contracts enforce what can be automated — never replacing counsel, always making execution verifiable.
Security & audit path
Contract review, security audits, and recovery workflows are first-class surfaces in the product roadmap — testnet-first, tiny amounts, no mainnet without explicit owner approval.
Status
The personal succession product is planned for initial release. dTrust is a Caplifi spin-out — use the dTrust product lockup on dTrust surfaces, not the full parent Caplifi lockup.
Stewardship that survives the handoff.
Whether the asset is a wallet or a water right, authority should be explicit, verifiable, and held by the people who depend on the system.
