A DeployOpen framework
DIAN Framework
A reference framework for connecting CeFi and DeFi.
Architecture patterns, compliance approaches and practical guidance for institutions integrating with decentralized finance.
What DIAN Framework is
DIAN is a reference framework for connecting centralized finance systems, such as banks and payment institutions, with decentralized finance protocols. It describes integration domains, architecture patterns and compliance approaches that institutions can adapt.
The framework takes a structured approach similar to BIAN in banking, applied to stablecoins, on-chain settlement, custody and identity. It includes articles, case studies and architecture material, with an assistant trained on the framework.
