The financial world is undergoing a profound transformation, fueled by the rapid rise of digital assets and tokenisation. As institutions seek to modernise infrastructure and embrace decentralised technologies, a critical challenge remains: fragmented systems that hinder seamless asset movement across ledgers. To address this, Oracle has launched the Oracle Blockchain Platform Digital Assets Edition (OBP DA)—an enterprise-grade solution designed to accelerate the development and deployment of secure, interoperable digital asset applications.
Quant, a leader in distributed ledger technology (DLT) and cross-chain interoperability, is proud to collaborate with Oracle on this initiative. By integrating Quant’s Overledger platform—the world’s first multi-chain operating system—into OBP DA, the two organisations are paving the way for a unified, programmable financial ecosystem that bridges traditional finance with next-generation blockchain networks.
Bridging the Gap in Digital Asset Infrastructure
Despite growing interest in blockchain-based solutions, many financial institutions face significant barriers to entry. These include high development costs, a shortage of specialised expertise, regulatory uncertainty, and the technical complexity of building scalable systems. The Oracle Blockchain Platform Digital Assets Edition directly addresses these pain points through a comprehensive suite of tools and pre-built components.
Key Capabilities of OBP DA
- Instant Domain Expertise: With pre-packaged smart contracts, APIs, and compliance-ready frameworks, businesses can bypass months of development and enter the market faster.
- Lower Development Costs: A production-ready blockchain environment reduces reliance on niche blockchain developers and speeds up time-to-market.
- Faster Innovation Cycles: Auto-generated smart contracts and low-code application tools allow rapid prototyping and deployment while maintaining flexibility for customisation.
- Seamless Interoperability: Cross-ledger orchestration enables real-time settlement via atomic transactions, ensuring assets move securely across disparate systems.
- Enterprise-Grade Security: Built on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, OBP DA offers permissioned access, immutable audit trails, and compliance with global regulatory standards.
- Real-Time Insights: Integrated analytics, dashboards, and indexing tools provide transparency and support data-driven decision-making.
These features collectively empower banks, asset managers, and fintech innovators to build secure, compliant, and future-ready digital asset solutions—without starting from scratch.
Why Interoperability Is Critical for the Future of Finance
One of the biggest obstacles in today’s digital economy is blockchain fragmentation. Different institutions operate on isolated ledgers—some using private blockchains, others relying on public networks—creating silos that prevent efficient value transfer. This undermines trust, slows settlement, and limits innovation.
Quant’s Overledger technology solves this by acting as a secure orchestration layer that connects multiple blockchains and traditional financial systems. Its patented multi-chain gateway allows organisations to:
- Tokenise assets across different networks
- Execute cross-ledger transactions
- Maintain regulatory compliance
- Enable real-time settlement
This capability was demonstrated in Project Rosalind, a collaboration between the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the Bank of England, and Quant. The project successfully showcased how retail central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) could interoperate with commercial bank money through secure API gateways—laying the groundwork for inclusive, programmable payment systems.
Similarly, Quant’s role as a technology provider for the UK’s Regulated Liability Network (RLN) highlights its ability to support tokenised commercial bank money across multiple ledgers. RLN aims to create a unified financial architecture where liabilities from regulated institutions can be exchanged peer-to-peer in real time—preserving the “singleness of money” even in a multi-ledger environment.
Enabling Programmable Payments and Financial Inclusion
Beyond interoperability, Quant brings deep expertise in programmable payments—a cornerstone of next-generation finance. By embedding logic into digital transactions, organisations can automate complex financial workflows such as conditional settlements, escrow arrangements, and multi-party agreements.
For example:
- A bank could issue deposit tokens that only unlock upon fulfilment of specific conditions (e.g., loan repayment or KYC verification).
- Asset managers might use two- or three-party locks to securely transfer ownership between counterparties without intermediaries.
- Stablecoin issuers can ensure funds are held in reserve and automatically reconciled across jurisdictions.

This level of automation enhances efficiency, reduces counterparty risk, and opens doors to innovative services like self-executing insurance policies or dynamic yield strategies—all while maintaining full auditability and regulatory alignment.
Aligning with Oracle’s Vision for a Unified Digital Economy
Oracle’s vision for the digital economy centres on creating connected, intelligent financial systems that are secure, scalable, and interoperable. Quant’s integration with OBP DA aligns perfectly with this goal.
By leveraging Overledger’s multi-chain connectivity, enterprises can now:
- Connect financial systems and digital wallets to OBP DA
- Build end-to-end digital asset ecosystems
- Support tokenisation of various asset classes—from currencies to securities
- Enable real-time settlement across borders and networks
Gilbert Verdian, Founder and CEO of Quant, commented:
“Quant is delighted to support Oracle in driving the next wave of blockchain interoperability by ensuring digital assets can seamlessly integrate with blockchain networks and traditional financial infrastructure. We look forward to seeing how the platform evolves and how Quant can continue to support Oracle’s digital economy vision.”
