Post-trade automation for derivatives and SFTs.

Tokenovate is a post-trade automation platform for derivatives and SFTs. Our unified, data-agnostic solution ensures seamless transaction processing across all asset classes, products and market infrastructures — no matter what you trade or where your assets are held.

By operationalising and embedding CDM directly into our tech stack, we harness the power of blockchain, smart contracts and tokenisation to drive automation, interoperability, and efficiency across capital markets.
What we do

Operationalising CDM.

Derivatives are used for price and risk management of physical and cash settled assets. These assets often flow within their individual supply chains and novate through multiple contractual, technical and commercial states, resulting in fragmented data and workflow siloes. Tokenovate combines programmable software that controls all events and responses with a highly scalable and cost efficient distributed ledger technology (DLT) to unify and automate the end-to-end derivative trade events lifecycle. Tokenovate builds on ISDA® CDM™ and accelerates the digitisation and automation of smart digital contracts.
Tokenovate is automating post-trade lifecycle events for asset class agnostic derivatives and Securities Financing Transactions (SFTs). Our deep-tech solution drives transformative product innovation and operational efficiency for banks, funds and other key players in capital markets. The secure and scalable cloud-based software platform 
upgrades and automates the management of trade lifecycle events through tokenisation and blockchain-powered smart contracts, from asset sourcing, custody, collateral mobility, management and atomic settlement to asset servicing and reporting.
The Platform
Our platform is a secure, scalable and modular multi-tenant cloud-based software solution that integrates with existing infrastructure via APIs to deliver continuous improvements.

How we do it

Driving innovation, not disruption

The transformation journey to upgrade current financial market infrastructure is not about disrupting the existing model - it’s about continuous and iterative innovation. And during this process, it’s essential to fully respect the legal and economic contexts and fuse them with smart technology.

At Tokenovate, we support this journey by combining four key components:
Smart Contracts
Script-based conditional logic statements that execute automatically, reducing errors drastically.
CDM
Embedding industry standards through CDM, to ensure consistency and compliance.
Blockchain
DLT will become critical infrastructure, increasing transparency and operational efficiency.
Cloud
Modular architecture delivers performance, robust security and scalable solutions.
