RAW is composed of three layers: an edge attestation device, a Daml contract framework on Canton Network, and a non-custodial settlement engine. Together they turn a delivery claim into a verified, atomically-settled transaction.
Every element subordinates to the integrity of the delivery record.
A hardware-secured device deploys at the producer's site, capturing delivery telemetry at the closest possible point to the source. On compatible hardware, readings are additionally signed inside a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) before any party can alter them. Keys never leave the device.
Daml templates on Canton Network encode the delivery contract: terms, SLA, and price. Asset DNA maintains an append-only lifecycle record per physical asset — identity, attestation history, and every verified delivery proof, comparable to a vessel's classification record.
An independent assurance layer verifies usage records, then payment moves directly from buyer to producer in regulated stablecoins. RAW never holds customer funds. Under-delivery automatically reduces the payout.
Compute execution and inference results are signed where they are produced — before they ever reach a contract. Hardware-backed attestation on compatible platforms proves the integrity of the execution environment, while independent cross-verification ensures every result is verifiable.
Provider-side telemetry is matched against consumer-side telemetry. For hash rate, the mining pool provides a structurally independent third measurement.
A dispute window precedes settlement becoming final, giving counterparties time to flag anomalies before funds move.
Four properties of Canton are load-bearing for RAW. No alternative settlement environment provides all four simultaneously for institutional counterparties.
Counterparties see only their own contracts. Privacy is a native property of the ledger, not an overlay.
Delivery validation, fund transfer, fee deduction, and cash leg complete in one all-or-nothing transaction.
