Content:

The FMSIG's second presentation of the year relates to Digital Assets, specifically Financial Market Instruments such as Equities, Bonds and their Derivatives.

...

They are also called security tokens, also Real World Assets (RWA).

For digital assets are to be hosted on shared infrastructure such as a Blockchain, parallel Financial market Infrastructure and payment rails need confidentiality guarantees. Mani Pillai, CEO of otcDigital has been working on this problem for a number of years. Instead of starting from scratch, he has been upgrading the platform he built

...

and deployed. He has been collaborating with Polymesh. Thus Mani's experience in what worked in TradFi has been a great asset in the new world of Digital Assets.


Although zero knowledge proofs have been in the news lately, the layering and loose coupling of such tools are extremely important for scalability. ZK Rollups and such technology are not fit for purpose for the scale and reach of Financial Market Infrastructure. 

Mani is a doer. An hour is not enough to do a demo of what he is working on. Mani will sketch the architecture and the solution and provide a rationale for the way this works. We will engage with him for a longer meeting later in the year for a comprehensive demo.

The otcDigital solution is focused on standards like CDM (with built-in cryptographic integrity and lifecycle event operations and tracking) and takes forward the dual DLT architecture that we had proposed for CBDCs a couple of years ago and implemented partly in the eThaler lab.
