ChainCatcher report: On November 2, at Devcon in Mumbai, India, protocol and institutional infrastructure company Consensys announced the launch of Sovereign Network Interoperability, designed to route and coordinate transactions between independently operated institutional ledgers. The product targets banks, custodians, asset managers, and financial market infrastructures, covering transaction routing, execution coordination, and trade tracking. Institutions can specify counterparties, approved participants, and settlement requirements; the product then selects eligible pathways and tracks transactions to completion. The technology stack supports four categories of institutional workflows: collateral movement—connecting asset and collateral platforms to submit eligible collateral to clearinghouses or other approved counterparties; securities settlement—coordinating the delivery of tokenized securities on one ledger with payment on another via delivery-versus-payment; wholesale and cross-currency payments—linking bank money ledgers to coordinate both legs of foreign exchange transactions under agreed payment-versus-payment conditions; and fund and asset services—connecting fund and bank platforms to enable corporate treasuries to seamlessly move idle cash into and out of tokenized money market funds and settle fund shares via tokenized deposits in a single step. A core design principle is bridgeless interoperability: assets remain on their native ledgers, while cross-ledger state and execution are verified cryptographically without requiring additional trusted intermediaries. The core protocol is Consensys’s Cross-Ledger Interoperability Protocol (CLIP), with plans to support Ethereum ecosystem standards, the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, and other protocols, alongside planned integrations with Canton and Ethereum-compatible networks. EVM-based chains are currently supported, with Canton integration to follow. Institutions may operate the solution independently, through financial market infrastructure providers, or via Consensys托管 services. Consensys President David Cunningham stated that institutions need to reach counterparties without compromising privacy or relinquishing control over their own infrastructure.
