Proven Success in Digital Currency Innovation
Explore how we've helped organizations architect and deploy transformative digital currency solutions.
Developing a National CBDC Pilot Program
A major central bank sought to explore the potential of a retail CBDC. They needed a technology partner to build a robust pilot platform that could simulate real-world usage while addressing complex challenges around privacy, security, and interoperability with the existing banking system.
Key Challenges:
- Ensuring user privacy while maintaining regulatory oversight.
- Achieving high transaction throughput for a national scale.
- Designing an offline payment capability for remote areas.
- Integrating seamlessly with commercial banks' infrastructure.
Our Solution:
We architected a two-tiered CBDC model on a permissioned blockchain. Our solution included:
- A hybrid privacy model using zero-knowledge proofs for transactional anonymity.
- A custom consensus mechanism optimized for high-speed, low-cost transactions.
- Development of secure mobile wallets with NFC-based offline transaction capabilities.
- Creation of standardized APIs for commercial banks to connect and distribute the CBDC.
Launching a Compliant, Fiat-Backed Stablecoin
InnovatePay aimed to disrupt the remittance market with a transparent and efficient stablecoin. They needed a partner to handle the entire technology stack, from smart contract development to regulatory compliance and reserve management integration.
Key Challenges:
- Building trust through transparent and auditable proof-of-reserves.
- Integrating with banking partners for seamless fiat on/off-ramps.
- Ensuring robust security to protect the reserve funds.
- Navigating multi-jurisdictional compliance requirements.
Our Solution:
We developed a comprehensive stablecoin platform on the Ethereum blockchain. Our solution featured:
- Smart contracts for minting and burning tokens, tied directly to reserve balances via API.
- A public-facing "transparency dashboard" providing real-time attestations of the reserve assets.
- Integration with institutional-grade custody solutions and banking APIs for automated fund flows.
- A full suite of built-in KYC/AML tools to ensure all transactions met regulatory standards.
Streamlining Cross-Border Payments with a Private Stablecoin
A multinational logistics company was struggling with the high costs, slow settlement times, and lack of transparency associated with traditional correspondent banking for its internal, cross-border transactions.
Key Challenges:
- Managing FX volatility across multiple currency corridors.
- High fees charged by intermediary banks.
- Lack of real-time visibility into payment status.
- Complex reconciliation processes for the treasury department.
Our Solution:
We deployed a private, permissioned stablecoin solution on Hyperledger Fabric. The solution enabled:
- The creation of a wholesale, internal stablecoin pegged to the USD for intra-company transfers.
- Direct, peer-to-peer transactions between subsidiaries, bypassing the correspondent banking network.
- An integrated treasury dashboard providing a real-time, consolidated view of all cross-border cash positions.
- Automated reconciliation and reporting, dramatically reducing the administrative burden on the finance team.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a digital form of a country's fiat currency and is a direct liability of the central bank. A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency issued by a private entity that aims to maintain a stable value by pegging it to an external asset, like the U.S. dollar or gold. While both aim for price stability, their issuer and legal standing are fundamentally different.
We are technology-agnostic and select the best platform for the specific use case. For enterprise and government applications like CBDCs, we often recommend permissioned blockchains like Hyperledger Fabric or R3 Corda for their privacy, scalability, and governance features. For public-facing stablecoins, we frequently build on established networks like Ethereum for its vast ecosystem and developer community.
Our security strategy is multi-layered. It includes: 1) Writing secure, battle-tested code. 2) Conducting rigorous internal and third-party smart contract audits. 3) Implementing institutional-grade key management and custody solutions. 4) Utilizing AI for real-time threat detection and transaction monitoring. 5) Adhering to best practices in infrastructure security (DevSecOps) based on our CMMI 5 and SOC 2 certified processes.
Absolutely. Integration is a core competency. We build robust APIs and middleware to ensure our digital currency platforms can communicate seamlessly with legacy systems, including Core Banking Systems (CBS), Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) systems, Automated Clearing House (ACH) networks, and SWIFT.
The timeline varies based on complexity and requirements. A straightforward, fiat-backed stablecoin platform can often be launched within 4-6 months. A comprehensive CBDC pilot, which involves extensive policy consultation, complex integrations, and rigorous testing, typically takes 9-18 months for the initial phase.
