UBS and Nethermind have completed two joint proofs of concept showing that a public, permissionless network can support the compliance and operational needs of regulated financial institutions.
The PoCs show that banks and asset managers can apply strong compliance controls through the infrastructure they run on top of Ethereum, without changing how the protocol itself works.
We built and tested a node that applies customizable compliance rules to outgoing transactions, and a routing component that sends approved bundles directly to selected block builders. Both validated end-to-end on Sepolia, no live transactions.
This is what enterprise-grade blockchain infrastructure built on deep protocol expertise looks like in practice.
We plan to build on this work with @UBS.

Every pending transaction in the mempool is a statement of intent. Bots read it before it settles and front-run what's worth front-running.
The contract calls 𝘈𝘔𝘔.𝘴𝘸𝘢𝘱(𝘵𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘐𝘯, 𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘐𝘯, 𝟘). That zero is 100% slippage tolerance. A frontrunner inflates the price, lets the swap settle, sells back at profit. A 10,000 USDC trade returns 1 ETH instead of 5.
𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦(𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘈𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘖𝘶𝘵 >= 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘈𝘮𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘖𝘶𝘵) lets the user set their worst acceptable price. If a bot moves the price outside that range, the swap reverts. The attacker burns gas for nothing.
The mempool stays public. Defense lives in the code, or it doesn't exist.

Aptos Keyless lets users create a blockchain account using Google or Apple ID. ~1.4M ZK constraints sit between that login and the on-chain account.
We're formally verifying them in CLAP.

No third-party bridge. No custodial risk.
A user on an L2 swaps xDAI to USDC using a Sushiswap liquidity pool on Gnosis L1. The rollup accesses L1 liquidity natively and settles the result back to L2 in a single transaction. 15 seconds.

Tokenised assets fall into three legal categories.
Informational — records a fact about an offchain asset
Certificatory — digital receipt against a custodian
Dispositive — transfer of the token IS transfer of legal title
Most tokenised assets today are certificatory.
