NEW YORK & ZUG, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With "Tokenization as a Service" (TaaS), WM Datenservice opens up its well-known, high-performance interface infrastructure for crypto securities. As part of the service, data of issued securities is recorded, structured and forwarded to tokenizers and crypto securities registries.
The first partner in the "Tokenization as a Service" (TaaS) area is Nucleus Finance AG.
Together, Nucleus Finance AG and WM Datenservice have further developed this new service for "Tokenization as a Service" (TaaS) as part of a joint project.
An initial proof of concept project for a classic bond and a structured product was successfully implemented based on data from WM Datenservice and systems from Nucleus Finance AG. In doing so, Nucleus Finance AG brings a new TaaS approach that allows on-chain and off-chain elements for the cost-efficient use of blockchain technology. The first implementation is on the Casper Blockchain (see details on CasperLabs below).
Based on algorithmic Smart Financial Contracts (SFC), efficient, secure and verifiable tokenization of the security is enabled. With the help of these SFCs from Nucleus Finance AG, the digital representation of the security as an ownership title is ensured on the one hand. On the other hand, using the open source standard "ACTUS", the secure and verifiable, machine-readable settlement of the securities in the lifecycle is ensured in a cost-efficient manner.
For the time being, Nucleus Finance AG and WM Datenservice will focus their TaaS services on simple structured products such as certificates, warrants and bonds. Depending on customer needs, other types of securities could be covered.
WM Datenservice remains open to offer TaaS services with different technology partners. The goal is to make WM Datenservice's existing infrastructure available as efficiently and comprehensively as possible for the digitalized further development of the securities market.
