DLT Settlement Networks for Smarter Liquidity Management

Transparent and Collaborative DLT-powered Networks

Baton’s DLT settlement technology empowers networks that facilitate transparency and collaboration across institutions by creating tamper-proof records and enabling real-time interaction based on agreed rules of engagement.

• Transparency: All transactional workflows are fully captured and securely hashed, creating an immutable record and audit trail for regulatory and operational confidence.
• Interoperability: Built on open architecture with interoperable tooling and workflows.
• Collaboration: Institutions can seamlessly exchange information and settle transactions in real time, breaking down silos and improving cross-party coordination.
• Confidence: Baton’s platform creates a shared, tamper-proof source of truth, empowering institutions to make informed decisions with enhanced accuracy.

Advanced Settlement Orchestration Capabilities

Baton’s DLT-driven networks allow participants to integrate settlement orchestration capabilities to enhance operational and capital efficiency, including:

• Distributed Workflows: Intelligent, automated, real-time processes that streamline operations and foster counterparty collaboration.
• Automated Netting and Payment Splitting: Configure collaborative workflows that alleviate liquidity pressures and enhance funding cycles.
• Dynamic Settlement Sequencing: Align settlements seamlessly with funding and liquidity cycles across global markets and time zones, recycling funds more efficiently and reducing capital immobilisation.
• On-Demand Conditional Settlements: Achieve atomic Payment vs Payment (PvP), Delivery Vs Payment (DvP) and Delivery Vs Delivery (DvD) settlements, reducing risk, increasing business capacity and conserving liquidity.
• Dynamic Routing: Integrate and orchestrate settlements across traditional and digital settlement rails.
