Proving a commitment in digital assets has always meant handing them over 😨 Capital would usually leave your control to prove a point and it would sit under someone else's risk until the point no longer needs proving. Today, we're releasing 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 so you can commit funds to a counterparty 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮. A lock is a reservation inside your vault. Nothing moves onchain. Your counterparty gets an enforceable guarantee, you keep custody, and only the net result ever settles. We built the feature so neither side takes the other's word for anything: 🔒 Nothing locks without you. Every lock clears your approval quorum, enforced below the API. 🔓 Nothing unlocks without them. Only the lock owner can release, reduce, or settle against it. 🔙 Nothing unwinds it from the side. While a lock is active, the owning account can't be edited. Three use cases, one primitive: ✔️ Settlement: trade all day against 5 BTC locked at home. Sold 2? One transfer settles, 3 release back. ✔️ Collateral: the lender locks collateral in your vault. It can't be spent by you, can't be rehypothecated by them. A margin call is a lock increase, with your approval. Repayment is a release. ✔️ Escrow: funds locked until delivery. No third-party custody, no wire out and back. For a treasury, it's the difference between capital that works and capital that waits. That's what onchain core banking is for. 📖 Read it: ⌨️ Start building today:
