INTEGRATIONS

Integrations & Contributors

F* holds no user funds and charges no protocol fee. Its value comes from real integrations that run on it and from the open-source contributors who maintain the protocol. This page lists the funds already running on top of F* (integrations) and the core maintainers (contributors).

01 — WAYS TO INTEGRATE

Ways to Integrate

Shared chassis + differentiated policy

Custody, allocation, execution and risk are shared across every fund — the only thing a fund truly needs to differentiate is the Policy slot in the middle. Three paths revolve around it: plug in a published Policy for a near-zero-development launch, contribute a custom ISettlementPolicy to define your own logic, or take just the subset of modules your fund shape needs, up to the full stack.

Plug in a published Policy

PLUG IN A PUBLISHED POLICY

Pick a Policy already published on-chain from the Strategy Hub and mount it directly — launch a fund with almost no contract development. QDFI runs on ThreePoolPolicy.

MODE B · CUSTOM

Contribute your own Policy

CONTRIBUTE YOUR OWN POLICY

Implement the settle pure function of the ISettlementPolicy interface to define your own allocation and dividend logic, then submit it to the Strategy Hub after audit — for your own use and reusable by other funds.

SUBSET OR FULL STACK

Tailor to your fund shape: take just Custody + Strategy Hub (no fixed dividend structure), or adopt all five modules. Chassis modules have clean boundaries and can be integrated individually.
