Workflows

Overview

Automating post-trade by turning obligations into workflows.

Tokenovate’s workflows automate the post-trade lifecycle by turning contractual obligations into standardised, executable processes.

 

Today, Tokenovate offers eight API-based workflows, covering all stages of the post-trade process: from lifecycle foundation and management to event execution and settlement orchestration.

 

Built on the Common Domain Model (CDM), they ensure that activities such as trade matching, confirmations, collateral movements, asset transfers, and payments are handled consistently across systems and counterparties.

 

Each workflow updates the trade state in a controlled, auditable way, with every action linked back to the underlying agreement.

How they work

The Unified Trade Record (UTR) creates a single, trusted view of the trade using CDM. The workflows then use this data to process lifecycle events and generate validated obligations. These are passed to the settlement layer, where the Novat protocol completes transactions using discrete, single-use state objects that ensure accuracy and full traceability.

 

This keeps trade data, lifecycle processing, and settlement aligned across all systems and participants.

 

Benefits

  • Tokenovate delivers a single, trusted view of each trade, enabling consistent and automated lifecycle processing across institutions and systems.
  • By standardising workflows and aligning all participants to a shared representation of events and obligations, it removes manual reconciliation, reduces operational risk, and improves data quality and transparency.
  • Programmable settlement ensures that obligations complete with certainty at the point of legal finality, supporting faster settlement cycles, such as T+1 and beyond, lowering failure rates, and enabling more efficient use of capital and liquidity across asset classes.

FAQs

The Common Domain Model (CDM) serves as the digital backbone of our workflows. By building on this industry standard, Tokenovate ensures that every post-trade activity—from trade matching and confirmations to collateral movements—is handled consistently across different systems and counterparties. This standardisation eliminates the need for manual reconciliation and ensures that all participants are aligned to a shared, accurate representation of trade events.

We achieve synchronisation through the Unified Trade Record (UTR) and our Novat protocol. The UTR creates a single, trusted view of the trade using CDM data. When a lifecycle event occurs, the workflows generate validated obligations which are then passed to our settlement layer. The Novat protocol completes these transactions using discrete, single-use state objects, ensuring that trade data, processing, and settlement remain perfectly aligned and fully traceable for all participants.

Tokenovate’s programmable settlement removes the friction and lag inherent in manual processes. By automating the transition from contractual obligations to executable processes, our workflows ensure that obligations are completed with certainty at the point of legal finality. This high level of automation reduces failure rates and increases capital efficiency, providing the speed and transparency required to support T+1 (and beyond) settlement cycles comfortably.
