A greenfield site.
Once known merely as the technology that powers Bitcoin, today blockchain is taken seriously by governments, financial institutions, and corporates alike. Its benefits – security, transparency, efficiency – can enhance flows as diverse as payments, capital markets, and supply chains.
It’s no surprise then that assets of all kinds, from currencies to carbon credits, are being tokenised on blockchains – making their ownership immutable, their provenance traceable and their use easy to manage.
Pitfalls abound.
But leveraging blockchain is complex. An asset on one chain is often limited to a single DLT infrastructure and working with the technology requires specialist knowledge that’s often difficult to find. Although blockchains are highly secure, the bridges used to move assets from one network to another and the smart contracts that underpin them can be exploited. Prescient institutions are also rightly concerned about the long-term viability of any solution they implement, given the rapid pace of change in this field.
The right foundation.
To make the most of the opportunities available, it’s important that you have a solid foundation on which to build. That’s why our products and the projects we work on are all guided by three principles:
making blockchain simple, ensuring trust, and preparing for the future.
From those principles, come the elements of Quant’s DNA.
Interoperability solved.
We founded Quant to tackle the problem of interoperability between blockchains because we believe that the future of finance will be built on interconnected networks that enable you to roam anywhere with your tokenised money, assets, and value.
This vision drove us to help establish ISO/TC 307, the standard for DLT, and build Overledger, the world’s first single API gateway providing legacy systems with access to all blockchain networks.
Ease of use
out of the box.
Overledger, the technology that now underpins some of the world’s most demanding blockchain-based use cases, was designed to be used without specialist blockchain knowledge.
Now offered as a SaaS enterprise-grade platform that is low-code and API-based, Overledger enables you to build apps in any mainstream coding language and run them on any blockchain. You can also issue tokens and create secure bridges across networks in minutes and with just a few clicks. This complexity is made simple and available to all via our SaaS customer portal, Quant Connect.
Security guaranteed.
Our founder and CEO has more than 20 years of cybersecurity experience and C-level accountability as a CISO, CIO, and CTO. He has worked in government – for Downing Street, HM Treasury, and the Cabinet Office – as well as the private sector, including at Mastercard, Vocalink, and HSBC. He has ensured that, at Quant, security is key.
This approach is particularly evident in our secure smart contracts, which are validated by 3rd party security specialists to ensure they’re tamper-proof, resilient, and production ready.
Resilience
by design.
We engineer resilience into our technology because we believe resilience is as much about enabling upside as it is protecting against risk. It has its own value, providing opportunity in a volatile world.
Those are lessons our senior leadership team learnt building their careers in global financial services firms, enterprises, and government. They understand the requirements of large, regulated businesses.
Programmability embedded.
One of the most powerful aspects of tokenised money is the ability to embed granular control of its behaviour. This is perhaps the biggest advantage it has over what most people consider ‘digital’ money today. The money of the future will be smarter, more useful, and more purposeful.
Our technology makes it easy to program how your tokens behave after you’ve deployed them, to set conditions on how they can be used, by whom, and when.
Adaptability built in.
Economies evolve. Business models pivot. Commercial relationships expand. That’s why adaptability is such a key element of our DNA. We know the digital asset you create, the blockchain you choose, and the smart contract you program today might no longer be a perfect fit in the future.
That’s why we make it easy to issue, connect and manage your assets from chain to chain and adapt your portfolio to new use cases. Your choices today shouldn’t hold you back tomorrow. With Quant, you’re ready for whatever opportunity the future presents.
