Secure

Immutable record keeping and protection against corruption. Fully permissioned and comprehensive KYC and KYP capabilities built in. Multiple copies of blockchain ensure the C, I and A of data.

Resilient

Fast

Using standard technological equipment, this solution is capable of delivering 30,000 TPS (transactions per second) – to put this into perspective, retail payment networks are currently capable of around 1,700 TPS.

Trusted

Relied on by business partners and customers. Regulatory approval to interface into global market structure.

Efficient

The speed and design of our systems requires considerably less energy than conventional solutions. A typical configuration would use 10 VMs, drawing a maximum of 2.5Kw.

Regulated

Compliance with industry regulations and protocols allows our products to connect and operate with ISO 20022 (MX) and SWIFT (MT) messaging systems.

Speed and Scale

With SETL's system, Settlement can be done at speed and scale. A single SETL instance can process 30,000 transactions a second across 100m different accounts - with the system fully scalable by adding more instances.
