Off-chain Infrastructure

Off-Chain Infrastructure

The basket assets are secured using a combination of institutional-grade custody setups, including multi-asset licensed third-party custodians (e.g. Copper, Ceffu) and advanced self-custody solutions (e.g. MPC-based infrastructure such as ForDeFi), depending on the operational and economic characteristics of each product. This approach eliminates reliance on wrapped or bridged assets, ensures holdings are not restricted to any specific chain, layer, or ecosystem, and allows custody design to scale efficiently with product revenue and complexity.

Rebalancing of basket assets — triggered monthly by the index methodology provider — is executed through a network of OTC desks and centralized exchanges (CEXs). This setup enables best-price execution and maximizes the cost-efficiency of regular rebalancing operations.

In addition, this off-chain infrastructure powers secure staking and lending of eligible basket assets. These activities are conducted entirely within the custodial environment, preserving asset safety while enabling yield generation.

Custody attestations

OpenDelta DAO regularly conducts attestations. All custodian wallet addresses used to hold basket assets are disclosed publicly, and periodic attestations are performed to demonstrate continued control of these assets.
