# Confidential treasury operations

> Confidential treasury operations let companies move and hold funds onchain — across entities and accounts — without exposing reserve size or internal flows, while keeping a complete internal audit trail.

Confidential treasury operations let a company hold and move funds onchain without exposing the size of its reserves or its internal flows to competitors and the public. Treasury teams get programmable settlement and a complete internal audit trail, while balances and transfers stay encrypted. Ryle provides the infrastructure to run these operations through a Console and APIs.

## The scenario

A corporate treasury manages reserves and moves balances between subsidiaries, business units, and legal entities. It wants the efficiency of onchain settlement but cannot publish reserve sizes, inter-entity transfers, or timing.

## Why public chains fail it

On a public chain, reserve balances and every internal transfer are visible to anyone. Competitors can infer runway and cash position; adversaries can map the corporate structure from the flow of funds. See [public blockchain exposure](/docs/problems/public-blockchain-exposure).

## How confidentiality and selective disclosure solve it

[Confidential digital assets](/docs/what-are-confidential-digital-assets) encrypt treasury balances and movements while keeping them verifiable. Internal auditability is preserved through an immutable audit log, and [selective disclosure](/docs/concepts/selective-disclosure) lets the treasury prove specific activity to an auditor or regulator without exposing the rest of the ledger.

## What Ryle enables

* Move balances between entities confidentially, with a full internal audit trail.
* Reconcile supply and reserves without publishing them.
* Grant scoped, time-bounded disclosures to auditors and regulators.
* Operate through the Console; integrate via APIs next to existing treasury systems.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can auditors still verify treasury balances?">
    Yes. Selective disclosure gives auditors scoped, logged visibility into specific balances and transfers without making them public.

  <Accordion title="Does Ryle custody treasury funds?">
    No. Ryle is not a custodian. You connect a custody solution you already operate, and Ryle binds the asset to it.
