WHY TOKENOVATE

Post-Trade Automation

Post-trade was built for paper and reconciliation.

We’re reshaping it for rights, rules, and reasoning.

 

Tokenovate empowers financial institutions to simplify and automate the entire post-trade and collateral lifecycle, cutting costs, reducing risk, and unlocking growth.

 

Our platform turns legal and trade data into executable logic, creating auditable, automated workflows for efficient collateral mobility and post-trade lifecycle management. We deliver a unified experience across all asset classes, products, and infrastructures, regardless of how or where you trade. Built to be data agnostic, our services are interoperable by design.

 

By embedding the Common Domain Model into the core of our technology, we turn contracts into code, leveraging blockchain, composability and tokenisation to bring precision, automation, and scalability to every step of the post-trade process.

Trade Lifecycle Management

Arrow Icon

Tokenovate’s platform automates and streamlines the entire post-trade trade lifecycle, from confirmation through to settlement. It uses smart contracts and tokenisation of assets to orchestrate and synchronise contractual obligations and assets in real time. Through this process, Tokenovate enables atomic or near instant settlement.

Collateral Lifecycle Management

Arrow Icon

Tokenovate’s platform broadens the scope of eligible collateral by tokenising assets and automating their swift transfer between custodians, boosting capital efficiency and reducing operational risks.

Tokenised Settlement

Arrow Icon

Tokenovate facilitates the implementation of legally and operationally sound tokenisation structures to enable near-instant, secure settlement, collateral mobility, and optimised liquidity within a regulatory-compliant framework.

WHAT WE DO

Operationalising CDM

The Common Domain Model is a standardised, machine-readable and executable framework representing financial products, their associated trades, and lifecycle events. 

 

Tokenovate transforms the CDM from a static descriptive model into an operational tool capable of automating end-to-end business processes. By directly interpreting trade data within the CDM, we dynamically generate workflows and trigger the required operational sequences. 

 

This composable, CDM-native approach automates every step from trade execution through to settlement, removing the dependency on external systems to manage the trade lifecycle.

TOKENOVATE

The Platform

Tokenovate’s software platform helps banks, funds and financial market infrastructures (FMIs) to automate post-trade and collateral lifecycle workflows. It improves operational efficiencies, reduces cost, increases revenues and ultimately profitability.

icon

Connect

Enables standards-agnostic integration between CDM and external systems, ingesting legal agreements (ISDA, GMRA, CSA) and parsing formats like FpML, FIXML, ISO 20022, CSV, and JSON.

Transforms key terms into computable parameters to drive margining, eligibility, and close-out netting decisions.

icon

Automate

The automatic processing of lifecycle events within CDM using a rules-based engine.

Consumes validated event data and deterministically applies it to produce state transitions, record event history and maintain an immutable, unified record of trade data.

icon

Settle

Provides native support for digital assets and blockchain-based settlement workflows.

Connects off-chain CDM events with on-chain execution, enabling atomic DvP for tokenised assets and digital cash.

icon

Reason

Turns the CDM into an agentic reasoning engine.

Using structured data, legal logic, and workflows to enable AI-native querying, scenario simulation, contract generation, and product design via natural language.

HOW WE DO IT

Driving Innovation, Not Disruption

Transforming post-trade isn't about replacing the current system - it's about ongoing, step-by-step improvement. This process should blend smart technology with existing legal and economic frameworks. The Tokenovate platform enables this transformation journey by combining four key components:

A standardised data and process model that represents financial products, transactions, and lifecycle events consistently. By providing a common language, the CDM simplifies trading, post-trade processing, regulatory reporting, reducing complexity, errors, and operational costs.

Automated digital contracts that execute predefined terms and conditions without human intervention. They streamline and secure the trading process by automatically triggering events once specific conditions are met. This reduces manual processing, increases efficiency, and minimises the risk of errors or disputes.

Leveraging the inherent privacy and permission capabilities of a public UTXO-based blockchain, Tokenovate ensures security, compliance, and enhanced connectivity across capital markets.

Modular, composable, multi-tenant cloud-based SaaS architecture delivers performance, robust security and scalable solutions, with flexible API access.

FAQ

Do you have questions?

Here you’ll find answers to the most commonly asked questions. If you can’t find the answer you are looking for, just contact us!

Tokenovate offers a compelling answer to the question of how to modernise post-trade infrastructure in financial markets. By combining deep legal and regulatory expertise with a CDM-native, modular platform, Tokenovate enables institutions to automate the full post-trade and collateral lifecycles: from trade capture and data translation to collateral management and near-instant, tokenised settlement. 

 

Unlike many digital solutions that impose new asset frameworks or blockchain dependence, Tokenovate is grounded in real-world market practices and legal standards, ensuring it works seamlessly within today’s financial ecosystem while laying the foundation for tomorrow’s real-time markets. Its architecture transforms complex agreements into machine-readable logic, streamlines operations through deterministic workflows, and offers real-time visibility of trade states, drastically reducing operational friction, cost, and risk. 

 

Designed for interoperability, scalability, and AI integration, Tokenovate helps firms unlock balance sheet efficiency, improve compliance, and prepare for a future of atomic, digitally native finance — all without vendor lock-in or unnecessary technical overhead. In short, Tokenovate is the bridge between legacy infrastructure and the high-speed, high-integrity capital markets of the future.

The Common Domain Model (CDM) is a standardised, machine-readable and executable framework for representing financial products, trades, and their lifecycle events. It is developed through FINOS, an open source community, by ICMA, ISDA and ISLA.

 

The CDM enhances interoperability and straight-through processing by enabling seamless interaction between systems and services, thereby reducing integration complexity and supporting end-to-end automation. It also improves regulatory oversight by promoting transparency and alignment between regulators and market participants. Additionally, it fosters innovation in financial markets by providing a shared foundation that allows technology providers to develop new solutions more efficiently, without the need to re-interpret core market processes.

Let’s break that question into four parts:

 

First, if you’re new to Tokenovate, please get in touch [HERE] so we can arrange a meeting to explore your requirements and assess how we can support you in achieving your goals.

 

Second, from a technical integration perspective, access to our platform is available via robust, well-documented APIs or through a secure web console. All interactions are protected with encrypted authentication and authorisation protocols to ensure the highest level of security.

 

Third, once integrated, your journey begins with Connect — our standards-agnostic integration layer. Connect bridges the Common Domain Model (CDM) with external systems by ingesting legal agreements (such as ISDA, GMRA, and CSA) and parsing formats including FpML, FIXML, ISO 20022, CSV, and JSON. It then converts key terms into computable parameters that drive critical functions such as margining, eligibility checks, and close-out netting.

 

Lastly, Tokenovate is offered as a modular Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, with flexible licensing options that include a combination of fixed and usage-based pricing. For more details, please contact us here.
