Our unified, data-agnostic, and automated 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 embedding CDM directly into our technology, we harness the power of blockchain, smart contracts, and tokenisation to drive automation, interoperability, and efficiency across capital markets.

Learn MoreWhat we do
Automating post-trade.
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 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.
