Kaleido

Banks and financial market infrastructure builders are the clients Kaleido most wants to reach. The company calls itself an institutional platform for tokenization, custody and digital assets, and it says it acts as technology partner for Project Agora, working with the Bank for International Settlements and more than forty financial institutions.

A modular platform

Kaleido presents an all-in-one modular platform with pre-integrated products. The custody product holds all kinds of assets and tokens at an institutional grade. The tokenization product is meant to turn any asset into a token and automate any workflow. A digital asset hub is described as the place where digital cash and settlement are handled for enterprises. Middleware comes through Hyperledger FireFly, which the company presents as a Web3 orchestration engine, along with an interoperability hub and connectors for moving transactions across chains. Chain infrastructure includes an enterprise gateway to public chains and permissioned blockchains, which customers can run on Kaleido's cloud or deploy in their own.

Built for enterprise requirements

The company says its architecture is cloud-scale and resilient, with service levels and around-the-clock support, and that it holds SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 certifications. It points to a platform for network operators who want to build, run and govern settlement, payment and digital asset networks, including a sandbox for central bank digital currency experiments.
