Building infrastructure for the next generation of securities
DACS provides the technology layer that enables financial institutions to issue, manage, and settle regulated securities as digital assets.
What we do
The problem
Securities infrastructure was designed for paper certificates. Even after dematerialization, the underlying processes remain: multiple intermediaries (transfer agents, registrars, custodians, paying agents), T+2 settlement delays, manual reconciliation, and fragmented systems. Each intermediary adds cost, latency, and operational risk.
Our approach
DACS replaces these intermediaries with modern infrastructure. The immutable register eliminates reconciliation. Compliance rules are enforced automatically. DvP settlement removes counterparty risk. One integrated platform replaces four separate systems — and settles in seconds, not days.
What DACS is not
Not a trading venue
DACS is infrastructure, not a speculative trading platform. We provide the rails, not the marketplace.
Not an open network
DACS is designed for regulated environments with known, verified participants. Every interaction is authorized and auditable.
Not a self-directed platform
DACS Custody safeguards assets on behalf of participants. Investors interact through a familiar securities interface.
