Empowering Industry Networks with DLT

Transparent and Collaborative Networks

Baton’s DLT 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.
• 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.

Extensive Post-Trade Capabilities

Built to optimise the entire post-trade lifecycle, Baton’s DLT-driven networks allow participants to integrate powerful tools and capabilities to enhance operational and settlement efficiency and liquidity management. These include:

• Distributed Workflows: Smart, automated, real-time processes streamline operations and foster counterparty collaboration.
• 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 Settlement Sequencing: Align settlements seamlessly with funding and liquidity cycles across global markets and time zones, recycling funds more efficiently and reducing capital immobilisation.
• Automated Netting and Payment Splitting: Configure collaborative workflows that alleviate liquidity pressures and enhance funding cycles.

Seamless Integration for Maximum Flexibility

Baton is continuing to enhance its Shared Permissioned-Ledger by integrating with settlement participants to expand the settlement opportunities available to network participants. Further to this the platform has been built to deliver choice and flexibility, enabling the industry to build dynamic interoperable networks ready to adapt to a changing settlement ecosystem:

• Robust APIs: For streamlined connectivity.
• Pre-Built Connectors: Supporting banking platforms and nostro accounts.
• Protocol Compatibility: Including FIX, SWIFT, and ISO 20022.
• Digital Asset Connectivity: Integrating with a range of tokenised settlement systems to provide for emerging requirements to support settlements across fiat and tokenised flows

Customisable, Scalable, and Secure Architecture

Baton’s modular, cloud-native infrastructure is designed to adapt to your needs, providing networks with scalability and resilience.

• Scalability: Dynamically adjusts to growing transaction volumes with low latency.
• Security: Advanced encryption, secure access protocols, and key storage management safeguards sensitive data.
• Customisable Workflows: Low/no-code tools allow institutions to tailor processes with ease.
