What we delivered
What the team was up against
Multi-day settlement
Existing bond issuance flows took T+2 with multiple intermediaries and reconciliation breaks across custodians.
Fragmented vendor stack
Five separate providers covered nodes, custody, reporting, and KYC — with no unified audit trail for regulators.
Regulatory pressure
MiCA and BaFin reporting demanded provable controls and exportable evidence per transaction.
How Blockops delivered
Issuance on regulated infrastructure
Bond contract deployed on a permissioned EVM network with private RPC clusters in-region.
MPC custody for treasury and reserves
Self-hosted MPC wallets with policy-based approvals replaced two custody vendors.
Auditor-ready reporting
Mission Control exported per-transaction evidence packs aligned to MiCA reporting.
Products used
“We replaced five vendors and shaved months off our issuance timeline. Our auditors got the evidence pack on day one.”
