7Block Labs: Seamless Integration of DeFi with Your ERP

At 7Block Labs, we’re all about connecting the dots between your on-prem ERP, treasury, and compliance systems with DeFi solutions. And don’t worry--we make sure your SOC2 controls and procurement SLAs stay in check. In this playbook, we’re going to guide you on how to reduce risks with keys, stay compliant, and simplify data processes. Our goal is to help you set up a 90-day pilot that hits those ambitious ROI goals, all while keeping everything at an audit-grade level. Let's dive in!

7Block Labs’ Strategy for Integrating On-Premise Systems with DeFi

Pain: The integration looks simple on a slide -- until you hit keys, controls, and compliance

So, you've got SAP or Oracle taking care of your purchase orders, using NetSuite or Workday for those approval processes, and let's not forget about a payments hub thrown into the equation. However, when you begin connecting that to on-chain settlement, you'll quickly run into three major roadblocks.

Who's in charge of custody and signing: Alright, let's get to the heart of the matter--who's actually got their hands on that private key? Your CISO is all for going with HSM-backed ECDSA (secp256k1) and making sure there's a clear division of responsibilities. That's pretty much the norm in the industry! On the flip side, your developers are really focused on getting that quick policy-based signing sorted out, and they’re eager to secure that gas sponsorship. On the other hand, your auditors are really going to be digging for strong evidence that links back to SOX 302 and 404. Thales Luna and Entrust nShield are really raising the bar lately! They're putting in the effort to optimize secp256k1 and support BIP32/SLIP-10 derivations. Pretty exciting stuff! But you know what? Making sure that all of that flows into a seamless signing process without those annoying lag spikes? Now that’s definitely a tough nut to crack! (thalesdocs.com).
Network and node access: If your InfoSec team isn't on board with public RPCs, it’s a must to set up private RPCs, create IP-allowlisted endpoints, and use MEV-safe relays. With Google Cloud's Blockchain Node Engine, you can easily tap into Private Service Connect. Plus, you have the flexibility to set up execution and consensus clients, and even manage MEV-Boost. It’s pretty handy! Just remember, linking this to your on-prem setup using MPLS/VPN with mTLS and IAM isn’t as simple as just flipping a switch. It’s more of an integration project that’ll take some time and planning. Take a look at the details right here: (docs.cloud.google.com). You might find it super helpful!

Regulatory Drift and Procurement Policy

EU MiCA Titles III and IV for ART and EMT Stablecoins: Hey there! Just a quick heads up--by June 30, 2024, the new rules are officially kicking in! If your trading platforms are still showing stablecoins (like EMTs or ARTs) that don't meet the new standards, you’ve got a couple of choices. You’ll have to either remove them from your listings or reach out to the issuers to get their consent and proper authorization. Just wanted to make sure you’re in the loop! Just a quick heads up--your EU subsidiaries are already feeling the impact of these changes. If you want to dive deeper into this topic, just click here for more info!
FATF’s New Take on Recommendation 16 (Travel Rule): Back in June 2025, the FATF decided to tighten up their rules about payment transparency and pre-settlement verification. This move added a little extra complexity to cross-border transactions, making things a bit more challenging for folks navigating those waters. So, basically, if you leave your current beneficiary data payloads as-is, they probably won’t pass muster during an audit. If you want to dive deeper into the details, feel free to check it out here.
Updates on Basel's Crypto Rules for Banks: Hey there! So, starting January 1, 2026, banks are going to have to step up their game when it comes to crypto. They’ll need to follow some new rules about disclosure and make a few amendments. It's going to be an interesting shift in the financial world! Treasury teams really need to keep an eye on how stablecoin exposure is being reported. This will be super important moving forward! If you want to get into the nitty-gritty details, check it out here.

In the meantime, the tech scene is shifting pretty fast.

Hey there! So, with the launch of Ethereum's Dencun/EIP-4844, we’re seeing some really cool changes. Layer 2 data costs are falling dramatically--seriously, it’s like going from $0. 01 to $0. So, it looks like we’re talking about execution times here, right? Well, to put it simply, execution on L2 is 20 times more efficient than on L1. Pretty impressive difference, don’t you think? Finance is on the hunt for a solid cost curve for each transaction to support this. If you want to dive deeper into this topic, just click here for more info!

Just a heads-up: Azure is planning to retire the SGX DCsv2 VMs by June 30, 2026. Also, if you use the SGX attestation APIs v2 or v3, keep in mind that they’ll be retired a bit earlier, on April 30, 2026. If you’ve been thinking about using enclave-based signing or ZK proving with those SKUs, now’s the time to make that migration a top priority! If you want to dig deeper into the details, just check out this link. It's got all the info you need!

Agitation: Delay means missed procurement windows, failed audits, and stranded pilots

Missed regulatory windows: Now that MiCA is in effect for stablecoins, exchanges and custodians are scrambling to get their paperwork updated. If you're using a non-authorized EMT for your on-chain payments, your teams in Europe could run into some serious hiccups. They might end up scrambling to put together some quick fixes, but let's be honest--those are likely not going to hold up when it comes to internal audits. (eba.europa.eu).
So, let's talk about the updates to FATF R. Sixteen folks are advocating for making sure that all messages are complete and verified before any settlements happen. So, if your payment info doesn't come with verified details about the sender and receiver, brace yourself for some payment rejections. You might also end up with a mountain of remediation tickets, which could hold up your settlements for several days. Not a fun situation! (fatf-gafi.org).
Security debt: You know, just tossing the key in a VM isn’t going to fly anymore. We really need to step up our game! These days, regulators and internal risk teams are on the hunt for two main things: certified Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) that meet the FIPS 140-3 Level 3 standard and can keep up with secp256k1 performance, or they're seeking out SOC2-audited Multi-Party Computation (MPC) solutions that come with strong policy engines and the right approvals in place. Let's take Fireblocks as an example. They've got quite the resume with their SOC2 Type II certification, plus they're also certified in ISO 27001, 27017, and 27018. On top of all that, they’ve achieved CCSS Level III. Pretty impressive, right? If you decide to take a different route, you can bet that auditors are going to want to know why you didn’t go with a similar solution. (fireblocks.com).
How It Affects Procurement and Treasury KPIs: So, just a quick heads up! At the moment, your purchase order to payment processes are running on the SAP OData v2 APIs. But here’s the scoop: S/4HANA is gearing up to drop v2 and switch over to v4 with JSON responses. Make sure you’re ready for that change! If you skip the refactoring, you could find yourself stuck with some pretty wobbly adapters. Just a heads up, we’ll be working with several teams on this, and there’s a deadline we need to keep in mind. (userapps.support.sap.com). Just a heads up - if the Travel Rule messaging isn’t properly set up, the Treasury is likely going to hit pause on bringing new suppliers on board for any wallets that lack a verified VASP or a self-hosted wallet attestation. So, it’s definitely something to think about! Make sure to integrate your screening APIs, like Chainalysis for sanctions and TRM for wallet checks, right from the get-go. Trust me, doing these late in the process just won’t work! (auth-developers.chainalysis.com).
Market credibility: The major players are jumping in and making moves right now. Swift and Chainlink have already started some exciting pilots for tokenized fund subscriptions and redemptions, and they're using ISO 20022 to do it. Plus, CCIP is really stepping up as the top choice for connecting different ecosystems. If your tech stack isn't ready to manage ISO 20022 triggers and convert them into on-chain actions, you're really going to be falling behind your competitors--like, a whole year behind! (coindesk.com).

The cost of putting things off can really add up. You might miss out on those sweet early-payment discounts, find yourself redoing KYC processes, or even end up shelling out more on gas fees for Layer 1 transactions. Plus, there’s the hassle of frantically trying to update your systems to meet SOC2 evidence and the latest MiCA/Travel Rule requirements. It’s definitely not worth the headache! Hey, just a heads up: if an internal audit reveals some weak controls right before your Q4 close, it could really hurt your reputation. Make sure you keep that in mind!

Solution: 7Block’s 90‑Day “On‑Prem to DeFi” Pilot -- technical depth with business controls

We're kicking off a pilot project that’s got a clear time frame and is super easy to audit. It’s already squared away with InfoSec, Legal, and Procurement, and we're aiming to highlight some great return on investment along the way. This isn't just some proof of concept sitting in a test environment. We're actually rolling out a pilot that's ready for production for one specific payment flow, and we've got rollback options in place, just in case.

Phase 0 -- Governance and Control Plane (Week 0-1)

Stakeholders and Policies Let's get our approver matrix sorted out. We need to include the CIO, CISO, Treasury Ops, and Procurement Ops, and make sure it aligns with our SOX controls. Alright, so we've got to take a good look at our assets and define some clear data boundaries. It’s super important that any personal identifiable information (PII) we handle is in line with GDPR regulations. And don't forget, we need to ensure that our Travel Rule data is encrypted all the way through the process. Let’s keep everything safe and sound!
Compliance Blueprint
EU: Let’s dive into those MiCA EMT/ART exposure rules. We really need to make sure we're verifying issuer eligibility and where our subsidiaries are operating. Take a look at the details here. You’ll find some interesting info!
Global: Just a quick reminder about FATF R--don’t let it slip your mind! You've got 16 messaging fields and a path for pre-settlement verification to navigate. If you're looking for more details, you can check it out here. It’s got everything you need to know!
US Banking Interfaces: We should really align ourselves with how the FDIC is handling tokenized deposits. This would help us make the most of those bank-rails settlement options. If you want to dive deeper into this topic, you can check it out here. Enjoy!

Phase 1 -- Secure Key Management and Policy-Based Signing (Weeks 1-3)

We've got two patterns on the table to pick from. We'll go ahead and implement one, and just in case, we'll keep the other as a backup.

HSM Pattern: We’re checking out either the Entrust nShield 5 or the Thales Luna Network HSM. For our work, we’ll be using secp256k1 and SLIP‑10 to handle those deterministic derivations. We’re planning to set this up using a PKCS#11/REST proxy to handle ECDSA signing for EIP-155 and EIP-712 payloads. It should streamline the process nicely! Check it out here.
MPC Pattern: So, this is all about Fireblocks. It’s got this policy engine that lets you set rules based on things like location, timing, and how much you're dealing with. Plus, there’s a 4-eyes approval process to keep everything secure, and it even allows for easy exports of SOC2 evidence. Pretty handy, right? It's really awesome for teams that are spread out across different areas, and it helps avoid any hiccups caused by relying on just one HSM. If you’re looking for more details, check this out here. It's got all the info you need!
Confidential Compute Guardrails Hey there! If you’re using Azure DCsv2 SGX right now for sealing keys or proving, don’t worry--we’ve got you covered. We’ll set up your migration to the supported DCdsv3/CVMs before June 30, 2026. So, no rush, but keep an eye out for updates! Also, if it’s relevant for you, we’ll go ahead and validate the SGX PCS v4 attestation. If you want to dive deeper into this topic, check it out here. It'll give you all the details you need!

Phase 2 -- Private RPC, observability, and MEV‑safe relays (Weeks 2-4)

First things first, let’s get those private RPC endpoints going! You’ll want to use GCP's Blockchain Node Engine along with Private Service Connect for this. Once you’ve got that set up, you can fire up those managed MEV-Boost relays and get everything running smoothly. Make sure you remember to set up IP allowlisting and mTLS for your on-prem stuff! It's super important to keep everything secure.
For added security, make sure to send your RPC metrics over to your SIEM. That way, you'll have everything neatly organized for audit trails. Hey, if you want to dive into the specifics, just click here. Happy exploring!

When picking a chain, it's smart to lean towards an Ethereum L2 option, like Base or OP Mainnet. This way, you can benefit from the fee savings that come with EIP-4844. We've got the inside scoop on how blob pricing works for each transaction and what you need to know about failure budgets. With this info, you'll be all set and ready to go! If you're curious and want to dive deeper into the topic, check it out here. There's some great info waiting for you!

Phase 3 -- ERP Integration Without Brittle Adapter Debt (Weeks 3-6)

SAP S/4HANA: We're making a move away from the old OData v2 endpoints and diving into the modern v4 APIs, which are all about JSON. This update will help us manage purchase orders and requisitions more efficiently. We're working on building a typed client that's going to come with some really cool features. Think retries to handle hiccups, idempotency keys to keep things in check, and error codes that are clearly linked to business exceptions. It'll make everything much smoother! Take a look at this for more info! You can find all the details right here: userapps.support.sap.com.
Oracle E-Business Suite and Fusion Procurement: We'll be working with version 12.

2. We've got some cool updates for 14 iProcurement Requisition REST and Fusion REST! They now include some neat features like dual-unit of measurement (UOM) and hooks for tax and accounting. This will allow us to generate on-chain intent events with all the necessary metadata included. Check out all the details right here! (blogs.oracle.com).

Phase 4 -- Compliance-by-design payment messaging (Weeks 4-7)

Travel Rule and Sanctions: We'll be rolling out inline sanctions screening pretty soon, using the Chainalysis Sanctions API right before transactions happen. Plus, we'll also be using TRM Wallet Screening to help us evaluate any counterparty risk involved. We’re aiming for a latency under 400ms to keep everything running smoothly and fast. Take a look at this link: (auth-developers.chainalysis.com). You’ll find some useful info there! When it comes to dealing with the Travel Rule, we’re opting for a multi-protocol strategy, similar to what Notabene TAP does. This really simplifies the process of approving transactions before everything gets settled, and it also gives you the chance to share only the info that’s necessary. If you're looking for more info, you can check this out: notabene.id. There's plenty of details waiting for you!
Identity and privacy: We're excited to announce that we're launching W3C Verifiable Credentials 2! You're looking at a score of 0 for both KYC and KYB attestations, and those will come from your KYC provider. On top of that, we're rolling out optional Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs for things like saying you're over 18, not on any sanctions, and living in a specific place, X. This way, we can team up with DeFi partners without having to share our personal info unless it’s really necessary. If you want to dive deeper into this topic, check it out here: (w3.org). It's definitely worth a look!

Phase 5 -- Smart contracts and gas policy (Weeks 5-8)

We’re really excited to share that we’ve got some great, thoroughly vetted contracts ready to go, and the best part is, they can be upgraded whenever you need! Here's what we've got:. Imagine an escrow system that really works for everyone. It’s got these cool conditional releases that can adapt to your needs--like making sure deliveries are made, allowing some time to sort out disputes, offering early payment discounts, and even triggering payments based on specific milestones. It's all about making transactions smoother and more flexible! Hey everyone! Exciting times ahead as we dive into account abstraction! We're all set to support ERC-4337 paymasters, which means suppliers won’t have to worry about gas costs. This should really help everything run smoothly while wallets get with the program on EIP-7702, which is all about creating "smart EOAs" for a more user-friendly experience. Can't wait to see how this all plays out! If you're curious and want to dive deeper into this, check it out here. It's got some great info!

So, when it comes to rollup economics, we’re in the process of figuring out the blob budget and setting some fee limits. So, after the Dencun upgrade, it looks like a lot of supplier payouts are probably going to drop to around $0. 01-$0. It really varies, usually falling in the 20 range, and there are a few things that can affect it, like Layer 2 solutions and even the time of day. We'll also be on the lookout for any unusual stuff, like MEV spikes and a shortage of blobs. If you want all the juicy details, just hop over to this link. You'll find everything you need to know!

Phase 6 -- Cross‑ecosystem interoperability (Weeks 6-9)

Whenever you need to make transactions across various networks or at private venues, you can count on Chainlink’s CCIP flows to have your back! So, this is the same technology that's being used in the Swift and UBS pilots for those ISO 20022-triggered subscriptions and redemptions. Your back office can easily chat with different chains using the messages you know so well. Take a look at this: (coindesk.com). It's got some pretty interesting insights!

Phase 7 -- Evidence, DR, and Handover (Weeks 8-12)

SOC2/ISO 27001 evidence packs: These packs feature essential items like key ceremonies, access logs, CI/CD software bill of materials (SBOMs), and SIEM dashboards, all tailored to fit your control framework.
DR and break-glass: Just a quick reminder to keep an eye on out-of-band revocation. Also, make sure you're set up with those pause/upgrade keys that use multi-signature. And hey, having a vendor lock-out playbook is definitely a smart move!

Scenario

So, there's a US company that's making a payment to one of its suppliers over in the EU, and they're doing it with a regulated stable instrument that's denominated in euros. They're not just throwing money around without a care in the world. Nope! They're actually making sure they're following the MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulations and keeping up with the Travel Rule data requirements. To keep everything organized, they rely on SAP as their main source of truth.

Flow (what actually ships in 90 days):

Alright, so to kick things off, the Procurement team creates a Purchase Order (PO) in SAP S/4HANA. So, our adapter is hard at work! It scoops up that purchase order using OData v4 (API_PURCHASEORDER_2) and then shoots a signed “payment intent” event over to Kafka. Pretty cool, right? Oh, and just to sweeten the deal, it includes an unchangeable idempotency key. Pretty neat, right? This time around, we're all about JSON! We decided to leave those tricky XML expectations behind, especially with the limitations of v4. Hey! If you want to dive into the details, just head over to this link: (help.sap.com). Happy exploring!
Compliance pre-checks happen in real-time:

Hey there! Just a quick note about our process: we’re running a pre-check on sanctions using the Chainalysis Sanctions API, and we’re also mixing in TRM Wallet Screening to assess wallet risk profiles. It’s all about keeping things secure! Whenever a risk goes above our policy limit, we flag it for a closer look and grab some evidence. If everything checks out, we just keep things rolling! If you want to dive deeper, you can find more details over on their API reference here.

Travel Rule: So, before we send any money, we make sure to grab the beneficiary VASP details. We also double-check that all the data is included and get an authorization message from Notabene TAP to confirm everything’s good to go. If you want to dive deeper into the topic, just check out Notabene’s post. You’ll find all the info you need there!

3) Escrow Deployment

Alright, let me break down escrow deployment for you. We're diving into a payment escrow smart contract, and you've got a couple of options. You can either create a brand new one from scratch or use a factory instance on an L2, like Base. It's all about what you need and what works best for your project! So, the contract really covers some important details: you've got the PO number hash, the maximum amount allowed, the delivery conditions, and the time frame for settling any disputes.
Plus, with the Paymaster in the picture, suppliers don’t have to stress about keeping ETH on hand just to cover gas fees. How great is that?

So, with the Dencun upgrade now in place, setting up an escrow and wrapping up a release usually costs just a few cents, which is a huge change from the old days when it could really set you back a dollar or more. Pretty awesome, right? If you're itching to get into the nitty-gritty of the numbers, take a look at this: (investopedia.com). It's got some pretty interesting insights!

Key management: Treasury has approved the go-ahead for signing through MPC (Fireblocks). They've set up some solid controls that factor in things like location, timing, and transaction amounts. Hey, just a heads-up--there's a break-glass HSM flow that we can use, but it's not included in our standard procedures. Every signing event also generates SOC2 evidence that we can use for auditing. (fireblocks.com).
Interop if needed: So, if we’ve got to wrap things up through a permissioned venue or hop onto a different chain, we’ll jump into CCIP to move the claim rights around. Meanwhile, we’ll stick to SAP as our main ledger for tracking our intentions. We handle ISO 20022 messages that come from either Swift or your custodian to start the process for redemptions and subscriptions for tokenized funds. This is particularly handy when the treasury wants to net positions. If you're curious to dive deeper into this topic, check it out here. You'll find some interesting details!
Reconciliation: So, what happens here is that the adapter shoots the on-chain transaction hash back to SAP, and that acts as the payment reference. In the meantime, our reconciler is busy checking things out on a private RPC, thanks to GCP BNE Private Service Connect. It’s also sending logs over to the SIEM and compiling all the compliance details, which includes sanctions results and those Travel Rule message IDs we need for SOX evidence. (docs.cloud.google.com).
Data protection: So, just to clarify, Personally Identifiable Information (PII) never makes its way into the mix. Verifiable Credentials (W3C 2.
are stored off-chain, which basically means we just hold onto the cryptographic commitments. By using this method, we really minimize the chances of running into any GDPR or DSAR problems, all while clearly showing that we’re on top of our compliance game. (w3.org).

Why This Matters to Procurement and Finance:

"One-click supplier payouts" isn't just some trendy term; it's actually a well-thought-out system that makes managing cash flow a lot easier while ensuring everything stays above board and easy to track. So, we only need to set up the logic for early-payment discounts and dispute periods one time. On top of that, when we onboard vendors, we use the identity proofs and Travel Rule connections we already have in place.

Emerging best practices we implement by default

So, when you're dealing with operational payments, it's best to use L2s once EIP-4844 is out. Save the L1 for those major finality events. Trust me, you'll want to keep things smooth and efficient! Hey, just a quick reminder: make sure you're pricing blobs instead of calldata. Also, don’t forget to put a cap on fees for each action in your policy. It'll help keep things in check! (coinmarketcap.com).

Hey, just a quick reminder: it's super important to do those sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering checks before you make any on-chain writes. Don’t wait until there's a problem to take action! Better safe than sorry, right? How about teaming up a solid SDN check, like Chainalysis Sanctions, with a full-on wallet risk assessment? You should definitely take a look at TRM for that. (auth-developers.chainalysis.com).

If you're looking into stablecoin and stable instrument governance in the EU, just stick to EMT/ART instruments that come from authorized issuers. That's the way to go! Listing non-compliant tokens on exchanges can really open the door to some significant operational risks. It's like taking a gamble you might not want to take! Make sure to get those issuer letters and standing consent ready in advance. It’ll save you some headaches later on! (eba.europa.eu).

Hey, why not kick off your ISO 20022 adapters today? The Swift and Chainlink pilots have really demonstrated how to channel fund flows from existing systems right into blockchain actions. It’s a smart move to get started now! If you're someone who can tough it out when it comes to pain. 001 or pacs. Hey 008, you should be good to go with triggering CCIP--it should all work smoothly for you! (coindesk.com).

Hey, just a heads-up! Make sure you’re keeping an eye on those enclave dead-ends. When you’re planning your SGX migrations, it’s super important to check out the timelines for Azure DCsv2 and the SGX PCS v2/v3 end of life. It’ll help you keep that attestation running smoothly through 2026 and even after that. Happy planning! (learn.microsoft.com).

Prove it: business outcomes and GTM metrics we commit to in pilot

We bridge the gap between the technical plans and the outcomes that Procurement and Finance truly care about. First off, we’ll take a good look at what your current cost-to-serve looks like. After that, we’ll jump right into measuring:

Cost per transaction (CPT): Alright, so if you’re checking out bank wires and doing the manual reconciliation thing, you’re likely looking at spending about $6 to $15 in total.
Target: On the bright side, thanks to L2 escrow and automated reconciliation, our goal is to hit that sweet spot of zero dollars. 07 to $0. Once we reach the pilot scale, we’re looking at $25 for each transaction. This covers stuff like blob data, remote procedure calls (RPC), and reviewing calls. Oh, and don’t worry--we’ve got everything documented, complete with fee receipts and SIEM logs. With the recent Dencun fee compression, things are really looking up for mainstream Layer 2 solutions! (investopedia.com).
Cycle time:
We're working on cutting down the time it takes to go from purchase order to settlement. Instead of the usual T+2/T+3 days, we're aiming for same-day settlements by using automated pre-settlement checks. Exciting stuff, right? 😊 You're all set with 16 compliant items, and once everything's delivered, the escrow will automatically be released. Pretty convenient, right?
(fatf-gafi.org).
Audit and controls: All on-chain transactions come with solid backup, including proof from our sanctions screening and Travel Rule message IDs. This info lines up perfectly with our SOX and SOC2 guidelines. We’ve taken the important ceremonies and approvals and exported them as artifacts, whether that’s in MPC or HSM format. They’re all nicely organized and linked to our internal control IDs. (fireblocks.com).
EU readiness:
We've successfully validated the MiCA EMT/ART issuer authorization, and it's securely stored away. We've set up our exchange checks with an allowlist, and don’t worry, everything’s documented for any questions from the supervisors. (eba.europa.eu).
Treasury optionality: You can totally use ISO 20022 message ingestion to start on-chain actions, and guess what? The CCIP interoperability path has been verified and works like a charm even when you're dealing with just a tiny bit of data. So, you can keep up with everything happening in the Swift world and still take advantage of all the benefits that come with on-chain settlement. It's like having the best of both worlds! (coindesk.com).
Risk reduction: So, here's the scoop: we've got our private RPC uptime Service Level Objectives (SLOs) all sorted out, and our failover processes are ready to go. Plus, MEV-Boost is up and running smoothly, and our SIEM dashboards are fully operational. Everything’s looking good! Take a look at this link: (docs.cloud.google.com). You might find it really helpful!

We're staying on top of the bigger regulatory timeline, so you'll always be in the loop and won’t get caught off guard.

Starting January 1, 2026, Basel’s crypto disclosure and updates will be in full effect, and you’ll have all the reporting templates ready to roll in your BI stack. For more info, feel free to take a look here. Hey there! Just wanted to let you know that we're working on updating your payment processes to align with the changes to FATF R. We've updated the enterprise runbooks to match the changes in version 16. If you want to dive deeper into this topic, you can check out more details here. We're definitely keeping an eye on how the US is handling tokenized deposits in the banking sector. We’ve already done some groundwork by pre-qualifying vendors for you. So if there’s a change in the policy, you can smoothly transition from stablecoins to tokens issued by banks without any hassle. If you're curious to dive deeper into it, just check it out here.

Program delivery: We're all about sticking around and being part of the journey, not just throwing out some advice and then vanishing! We’re excited to roll out a pilot that includes runbooks, SIEM dashboards, and evidence packs. These are super easy to share with your internal audit team and any regulators you need to keep in the loop.

What you get in 90 days

Alright, so here’s the deal: you’ve got a really solid production payment process that operates within a pretty tight framework. Picture this--starting with SAP or Oracle, then shifting everything to an on-chain escrow on a Layer 2 solution, and finally wrapping it all up with supplier payouts. It’s like a smooth journey from start to finish! Oh, and don’t worry about gas--it's all taken care of! Plus, we’ve got everything we need to show we're sticking to the Travel Rule and following all the sanctions. We've got everything you need for SOC2 readiness all set up, like important ceremonies, IAM policies, change management logs, and SBOMs. We've got a simple ROI model that directly connects with CPT and helps cut down on cycle time.

We've got a solid plan in place for expanding our reach! This includes bringing on more suppliers, adding different currencies, and exploring new jurisdictions. You’ve also got some cool optional features available, like dynamic discounting, automated financing, and even tokenized fund cash sweeps. And the best part? They’re all built on a solid, audited core.
