A connected future.
Researching infrastructure for multiple forms of programmable money, with each instrument’s rights and settlement conditions intact.
01 / MONEY MODELStablecoins
Reserve-backed digital tokens

- Reserve assets
- Digital token
A token designed to track a currency’s value. Holding it is generally different from holding a bank deposit; backing and redemption rights depend on its terms.

- Commercial bank

Eligible settlement money↓ Connection research, not automatic conversion or a guarantee of equal value. Settlement eligibility depends on the issuer, currency and market rules.
