The industry changed dramatically at the end of 2017. Crypto and ICO’s exploded, billions of dollars were raised without proper compliance, and regulatory authorities are now trying to catch-up. As a software infrastructure company it’s our responsibility to drive innovation for our customers and ensure they have the technology for a sustainable advantage over their competitors.

In the Spring of 2017 we announced the introduction of blockchain technology within the Katipult infrastructure with a goal of providing our customers with cutting-edge technology and capabilities which further improves efficiency and reduces costs by eliminating third party intermediaries.

The inherent trust of the blockchain will enable your investors the highest degree of security, and this new technology will also allow your investors to trade securities on a decentralized secondary market.

To further expand our capabilities in the blockchain field, in January 2018 we partnered with Polymath, one of the leading blockchain companies in Canada whose security token protocol aims to emerge as a new standard for blockchain-based securities tokens. We are collaborating in the development of a system of recording securities ownership and transmission using blockchain technology.

Here are some of the main features and benefits of our blockchain solution:

ICOs

With the ICO capability, you can launch initial coin offerings (ICOs) for coins and cryptocurrencies, utility tokens, or tokenized securities. Manage the entire process from investor onboarding and KYC (Know Your Customer) through to the pledging and payment settlement. Use cryptocurrencies to elevate your capital raises to new levels!

Smart Contracts

Introduce rules and condition based processes that are automated to simplify complex scenarios and eliminate costly intermediaries for increased scalability of your operations. Execute contracts more efficiently than ever before.

Tokenization

Digitize real world assets that are both tangible and intangible to put them on a blockchain to increase liquidity, and to make investing easier and more secure.

Distributed Ledgers

Record time stamped, auditable transactions in multiple places at the same time to eliminate the reliance on centralized, trust-based systems which can be tampered with and are prone to discrepancies and duplication.
