On-chain hedges and trust governance

Why settlement rails matter as much as asset choice.

Public blockchains like Stellar offer a property modern fiat rails do not: deterministic settlement that does not depend on any single counterparty's solvency.

For a trust, this means custody, signatures, and transfers can be enforced by code that any party — beneficiary, trustee, auditor — can independently verify.

Zentru uses 2-of-3 multisig with the master key disabled, hash-chained audit memos, and the West Virginia Uniform Trust Code as the legal substrate. The combination is intentionally boring: no exotic yield, no opaque counterparties, just verifiable operations on top of statutory trust law.
