The Programmable
Permission Engine
Automate DeFi strategies, enforce institutional mandates, and streamline DAO ops—without compromising custody. Matador turns off-chain policies into on-chain guarantees.
A Firewall for
Every Transaction
Smart contracts execute blindly. Matador adds a conscience.
Think of Matador as a hypervisor for the EVM. It sits between the user and the execution layer, validating every call against your safety mandate in real-time. If the policy says no, the transaction reverts—no matter who signed it.
Policy as Code
Stop manually reviewing transactions. Define your boundaries in a human-readable language, compile them to gas-optimized bytecode, and deploy.
1. Write Mandate
Express intent clearly using the Matador DSL. It reads like a rulebook, not a script.
allow call
target in SafeApps
and amount <= 50k
}
2. Compile
The CLI converts your policy into compact, gas-efficient bytecode.
Compiling 1 source... Done.
3. Enforce
Attach the bytecode to your Safe or Smart Wallet. It runs on every single transaction.
Vertical Impact
Don't build custom governance contracts for every use case. Matador standardizes safety across the stack.
DeFi Automation
Build trustless keepers that can rebalance portfolios, harvest yields, and liquidate positions without ever having the power to misroute funds.
DAO Ops
Delegate grant payouts and operational spend to committees with hard caps and strict recipient allowlists.
Compliance
Cryptographically enforce KYC checks, sanction screening, and segregation of duties at the EVM level.
Protocol Security
Embed circuit breakers and invariant checks directly into your smart wallet architecture. Stop hacks before they settle.
