Introduction

This document describes the system provided by the Ownera implementation of the FinP2P specifications defined here: https://finp2p.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FINP2P/overview

Mission

Ownera is a technology firm dedicated to providing global financial institutions with interoperability software. Our mission is to enable the interconnection of platforms for tokenized real-world assets across various technologies, services, and asset classes. This creates a unified, secure, and liquid global assets market, allowing investors to instantly own, trade, and leverage any asset.

The FinP2P Protocol

FinP2P is an open protocol designed for digital asset routing and distribution. It enables financial institutions to connect in a standardized way to facilitate the trading and settlement of financial assets. This is achieved by updating records of asset ownership in digital ledgers maintained by these institutions.

The FinP2P Network comprises a series of bi-lateral peer-to-peer connections between FinP2P Routers, operated by regulated institutions (e.g., banks, asset managers). These institutions can perform various regulated activities on the network, such as asset issuance, custody, and brokerage services.

The core functionality of FinP2P is to serve as a routing network and an abstraction layer that connects multiple underlying ledger technologies, and allow both access to them with a unified API, as well as seamless connectivity between them. An intermediary, thin and stateless network layer, interconnecting between any app and any approved distributed ledger technology, to which all financial institution can easily connect. Each financial institution connecting to the network will be described as a Router.

FinP2P defines a network protocol and a set of specification APIs that aim to provide a communication abstraction layer between applications, data privacy and distributed ledger implementations.

The Ownera Router

Ownera has developed peer-to-peer routers that communicate with one another using the FinP2P protocol specification. The Ownera FinP2P Router facilitates a form of transaction orchestration and interoperability by enabling the various organizations that participate in a transaction to fulfill roles such as transfer agent, issuer, custodian, trading, distribution, and payment on a distributed basis. Routers always communicate peer-to-peer with no intermediaries

To deliver the FinP2P network, Ownera's FinP2P Router implements the FinP2P specifications and exposes a set of APIs for applications and integrations. These APIs are detailed in this document..
