This section provides high-level insights into Theo's architecture. For specifics on integrating with Theo, refer to the .

Theo's architecture consists of both on- and offchain components enabling execution across all major trading venues, coordinated by an L1 settlement network (Theo Network) which guarantees custodial rights over funds for depositors.

Smart Contracts

Smart contracts representing ERC4626 vaults are deployed to a range of execution environments — initially EVM networks — to enable convenient access for depositors.

Theo smart contracts are documented in depth in the Technical Reference:

Custody Stack

Theo's custody stack utilizes several tried-and-tested custody solutions including Safe mutisig wallets, MPC wallets, and institutional CEX accounts. This design enables trust-minimized custody and execution across a wide range of trading venues.

Theo Nodes

All actions related to Theo strategies are orchestrated internally by a low-latency settlement network. Theo nodes include proprietary modules responsible for execution, strategy policies, and risk management.
