What does the containerization of assets look like? And how can we industrialize the issuance and servicing of the life cycle of financial assets?

ACTUS Protocol assets are self-sufficient: they contain all the necessary data and logic to service the financial instruments’ life cycle. Because they are packaged as containers, systems interact with any asset in the same way. The financial data can be extracted in an automated manner from any type of asset in order to e.g. list in on an exchange, price the assets or calculate accrued interest for an individual asset or whole portfolio.

Our Demo Portal showcases these capabilities for debt instruments. Nils will walk you through the portal and some examples to demonstrate how you can issue, service, tokenize financial assets and distribute funds with the generic ACTUS Protocol approach.

Open the ACTUS Protocol Portal

If you are in a hurry, you will get the essence of what the ACTUS Protocol is about by watching the following sections:

  • Video III — Create own debt instrument offerings (04:35)
  • Video IV — Inspect an offer: next obligations, history and terms (01:00)
  • Video IV — Servicing the assets and settle payments (01:57)
  • Video IV — Tokenization of the investor side using funds distribution token (06:38)

Everyone is invited to build their own solution on top of the ACTUS Protocol or integrating into an existing security token or issuance solution. Either by directly interacting with the smart contracts or through our APIs and middleware. We have also added an off-chain order book for demonstration purposes which you can replace with your order book building solution of your choice.
