Ownera and LayerZero have partnered to connect their platforms to enable cross-chain solutions for institutional tokenisation.
The collaboration integrates LayerZero's interoperability protocol with Ownera's Router and SuperApps Platform — already live in production with financial institutions — enabling applications such as intraday repo, trading platforms, collateral mobility, aggregated payment solutions and Central Securities Depository (CSD) connectivity.
This partnership connects the platforms to provide a solution for financial institutions, asset issuers, and application providers that look to strategically scale their tokenised products across business use cases, partners, and assets on all blockchains.
Ami Ben-David, founder and CEO at Ownera, says: “To scale, financial institutions and financial application developers require production-grade infrastructure for an application stack that works across any blockchain, with any asset, connecting to thousands of counterparties with zero bilateral integrations.
“By integrating LayerZero's proven cross-chain technology with our architecture, we're enabling institutions to deploy the comprehensive, scalable sets of solutions that they need.
“All router-enabled applications can now reach the entire LayerZero universe of assets and chains — creating the interoperable foundation that institutions demand.”
Simon Baksys, vice president of business development at LayerZero, adds: “Financial institutions are entering tokenisation with unprecedented momentum, but they need infrastructure that matches the scale and security requirements of traditional finance.
“This partnership combines LayerZero's extensive blockchain coverage — including 9 of the top 20 stablecoins and over 250 tokenised equities operating cross-chain — with Ownera's deep institutional relationships and production-proven platform. Together, we are delivering the enterprise-grade cross-chain capabilities that banks and asset managers require.”
