Fnality
Fnality is a London-based financial market infrastructure company building a network of regulated, blockchain-based wholesale payment systems that let banks settle transactions in a digital representation of central bank money. Its Sterling Fnality Payment System (£FnPS), launched in December 2023, is the world's first regulated distributed-ledger-technology wholesale payment system. Backed by a consortium of more than 20 global banks and market infrastructures, Fnality aims to enable 24/7 real-time, atomic settlement for tokenised asset markets, FX and repo, extending beyond Sterling into US Dollar, Euro and other currencies.
PraSaga Foundation
PraSaga Foundation is a non-profit blockchain organization building SagaChain, a layer-one blockchain that replaces smart contracts with programmable 'smart assets' - first-class objects that model real-world things directly on-chain. Founded in 2017 by Michael Holdmann and David Beberman, PraSaga pairs a natively sharded architecture with a hybrid Proof-of-Work/Proof-of-Stake consensus and a Python-based developer stack (SagaOS, SagaPython) to target the scalability, cost, and usability limits of first-generation chains. Its native SagaCoin uses a dynamic monetary policy aimed at stable purchasing power. A public development testnet went live in 2025.
Forest Park Group
Forest Park Group is a San Mateo, California fintech building LoanOS, a private, permissioned blockchain platform that shrinks syndicated loan settlement from weeks to as little as T+1. Founded in 2019 by syndicated-loan veterans and distributed-computing engineers, the company targets the roughly 30,000 participants in the leveraged loan market, where deals routinely take 25+ days to settle and $92 billion in delayed-settlement exposure sits idle. By automating loan data flows through smart contracts and API-driven interfaces, LoanOS aims to make an illiquid, email-and-spreadsheet market behave more like a liquid one.
Baton Systems
Baton Systems is a post-trade infrastructure company that uses a shared permissioned ledger to give banks real-time control over collateral, payments and FX settlement. Its Core platform connects to legacy systems without ripping them out, and is already used by some of the largest banks in the world to move trillions of dollars with bank-grade safety in minutes instead of days.
