Enabling Composable Finance in
Decentralized Token-based Economies
with our purposeful B2B networks, Tech partners and Professional ecosystem to drive business applications
– followed by the Swiss government mandate 2020 -2023
Swiss Blockchain Academy
Swiss Blockchain Academy is a Public Private Partnership founded with the Swiss government mandate (2020 – 2023) to drive blockchain business applications in the era of Digital Assets and Decentralized Economies powered by digitally native tokensied assets.
Design Pillars
Smart Token
Composability
- Low complexity with automated lifecyle
- Single truth of frictionless transactions
- Simplified reg due to modular design
- Agile issuance, managmnet & settlement
- Capital & liquidity efficency with improved asset mobility
- Customised financial products lauch
Digital Assets
Digitally Native
- Radical change to streamline the E2E investment processes
- Enhanced security, risk management and compliance
- Introduction of new products and market making opportunities with asset clusters
Operating Model
Standard Business Application
- Technology & business orientation to co-develop products & services
- Enterprise grade control environment to manage transaction life cycles
- Distributed secure infrastructure concept
- Supports 3rd party deal flows
- Unlocks the key benefits of on-chain economy
Network
Interoperable Common Tech
- Improves market discovery and liquidity with cross networks
- Interconnected systems & asset clusters to enhance network effects
- Allows rapid innovation & deployment
- Supports standardised interfaces
- Faster asset transfers & settlement
- Real time data shared across peers
Token Structure
Title
Single title tokens represents title to an asset and/ or the issuer (equity), and it may act as an alternative accreditation for off-chain rights (replacing conventional markers of ownership) and voting rights, but offer little value in the context of asset management
-
Simply creates an on-chain record of ownership
-
Relies on replicating legacy processes
-
Requires legacy books and records to manage risk & reg compliance
-
Limited innovation, market discovery and distribution opportunities
Native Digital Token
Using tokenization to build fundamentally new, digitally native assets that inherently carry execution logic unlocks value networks as well as eliminates key impediments to automate the E2E value flows
-
Tokens of entitlement represents the right to receive and the commitment to deliver
- All entitlements to future transfers of value can be represented by specific tokens
-
Improves asset transferability, tradability, eligibility and traceabilty
-
Fractionalisation of assets lowers barriers to entry without compromising protection
Cluster of tokens
Both ownership and entitlements can be represented as cluster of tokens or by a single entitlement token (i.e. zero-coupon bond). In essence, all financial assets are just clusters of entitlements (commonality of finance value flows)
-
Unencumbered by the existing boundaries of asset-class and product types
-
All financial assets and products can be constructed using the same components
-
Rights & claims can be represented as cluster of tokens (title and entitlements) for self-execution
-
All asset classes can operate under a standard operating model within the same infrastructure
Swaps
Both swaps and options are traditionally defined by contract law where a swap is just a set of back-to back entitlements to value flows, while an option is a contingent entitlement to a single value flow.
Floating Rate Payer issues:
- Replicating entitlement token – committing payments in cash tokens, computed as the positive delta
between Oracle-supplied floating and fixed rates, triggered by reset dates
Fixed Rate Payer issues:
- Replicating entitlement token – committing payments in cash tokens, computed as the positive delta
between fixed and Oracle-supplied floating rates, triggered by reset dates

Tech Overview
The Blockchain trilemma faced by the industry refers to a trade-off between decentralization, security and scalability of applications built on networks such as blockchain (layer 1). Achieving a balance of all 3 things has proven to be challenging (although sharding / Layer 2s attempts to improve scalability) as only 2 of 3 key properties can be achieved simultaneously.
For finance applications, this translates into compromise across competing factors such as privacy, risk and network effect
Ecosystem Partners
Our ecosystem emerged from the Swiss government mandate in 2020 and continue to grow to create value for the blockchain community and drive adoption locally, nationally & internationally through a coordinated approach to Blockchain innovation
