Hedera Seeks to Attract Capital Markets to Blockchain
Developed in collaboration with entities like The HBAR Foundation, Hashgraph, RedSwan, and ioBuilders, the studio focuses on reducing technical barriers and facilitating the migration of capital markets to the blockchain. Dr. Sabrina Tachdjian, Head of Fintech and Payments at the HBAR Foundation, highlighted that this tool will help accelerate the growth of Hedera’s real-world asset ecosystem and encourage greater adoption of distributed ledger technology (DLT) with a strong focus on regulatory compliance.
The toolkit includes a web-based user interface for testing and a TypeScript SDK for solution deployment, both available under the Apache 2.0 license on GitHub. These components are designed to integrate with MetaMask and Hedera WalletConnect, facilitating transaction signing and ensuring broad compatibility with existing platforms.
The availability of the studio will accelerate DLT adoption, providing standardized tools for digital asset management. Additionally, the toolkit’s focus on compliance and reducing technical barriers will be crucial for the growth of tokenized securities.
