Episode 10: Deterministic Finance Blueprint

Complete architectural blueprint and code walkthrough for building deterministic financial systems: implementation details, patterns, and real-world code examples.

Realizing the True Peer-to-Peer Vision

Finality doesn’t require going online

Payments and updates are final inside each relationship the moment both parties accept.

Relationship tracks

Each counterparty pair has its own history—independent, asynchronous, and non-blocking.

b0x (your inbox)

When you’re online, receive transactions waiting for you and update only the relationships that sent them.

Proven throughput

900-1100 TPS 🔥 PER DEVICE (Samsung Galaxy A54).

Deterministic Finance (DeTFI)

Finance that behaves the same every time

Clear rules, reproducible outcomes, no front-running, no surprises.

Built for Real-World Apps

Build in any language

Keep your stack. Use a simple schema at the edges for trust and validation.

Rust-native SDK

Removes low-level details so teams can launch quickly and safely.

No smart-contract VM

Write normal application logic you can test, version, and ship.

Instant finality

Nothing to confirm, nothing to roll back—inside each relationship.

Double-spend blocked by design

Bad attempts are rejected automatically.

Private by default

No global ledger to trawl; your relationships stay your relationships.

Scales as users grow

Throughput grows with relationships—not block sizes or validator counts.

Predictable economics

No gas fees. Subscription model with stable, transparent costs.

Not a Mesh Network — A Trust Layer

Different job

Mesh solves connectivity. DSM solves trust—what’s final and true.

No relays required

Direct peer-to-peer. Finality doesn’t depend on middle hops.

Instant finality

Mesh finds a path; it doesn’t finalize anything. DSM finalizes per relationship, even offline.

Transport-agnostic

Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, QR, NFC, cable—whatever pipe you have.

Scales by relationships

Performance isn’t tied to routing complexity or hop counts.

“Dumb”, by design

Storage nodes are “dumb” and signatureless; devices verify truth at the edge.

Technology

DSM State Flow

  • Sender
  • Receiver
  • Hashed step

Every step carries its own proof. No global ordering layer. Finality is local to the relationship.

What this means for you

  • Offline payments that are final on the spot.
  • No waiting rooms, queues, miners, or validators.
  • Problems don’t cascade—each relationship is its own track.

How it Works at a Glance

Relationship tracks

Only the relationships that involve you matter—no world chain to catch up on.

Forward-only moves

States only advance, so there’s nothing to unwind.

Smart commitments

Deterministic, auditable steps instead of open-ended code.

Language-agnostic integration

Your code, your tooling—use a simple schema at the edges.

Decentralized Storage Network

Run "dumb", signatureless storage nodes (by design). Earn ERA via DJTE: join-triggered emissions with proof-carrying eligibility.

Tokens & Assets

No token standards

Design tokens exactly for your app’s needs. Creativity and fit over templates.

Policies travel with the token

Rules are clear to end users and move with the asset, end-to-end.

Fees in ERA

Create and operate assets with transparent, policy-based flows.

Instant finality, offline payments, private relationships, and scale that grows with people—not servers. Deterministic finance without fee roulette.

DSM Storage Node Specification

Decentralized, Signatureless Storage Architecture

Technical specification for DSM storage nodes: "dumb" by design, signatureless persistence, replication strategies, and DJTE-based earnings. Storage operators earn ERA tokens through join-triggered deterministic emissions.

Statelessness Reframed: a16z Lower Bound & DSM vs INTMAX

Why Partitioned, Relationship-Local State Escapes the a16z Lower Bound

An analysis of how DSM's relationship-local state model sidesteps the impossibility results that constrain global-state systems, with a direct comparison to INTMAX's stateless rollup approach.

DJTE: Deterministic Join-Triggered Emissions

Proof-Carrying, Consensus-Free Token Distribution

Blockchain vs DSM: Deterministic Trust Without Consensus

Why DSM isn't a blockchain — and what that enables

Why ETH Can't Scale to a World Computer

Structural limits of global-state rollups and fee markets

Examines Ethereum's global-state and auction-based fee model to show why world-computer scaling hits resource ceilings. Contrasts with DSM's partitioned bilateral state and deterministic capacity planning.
