UK Finance Taps R3 and Quant for Financial Technology Experimentation

R3, an enterprise distributed ledger technology and services
firm, along with Quant, has been designated to develop the technology prototype
for the experimental phase of the UK’s Regulated Liability Network (UK RLN).
This initiative, spearheaded by UK Finance and supported by EY, aims to
establish a common platform for innovation across various forms of currency,
including traditional bank deposits and tokenized assets.

The UK RLN is a collaborative effort involving multiple
stakeholders within the financial services industry, seeking to explore avenues
for users to conduct payments, transactions, and settle liabilities in the
digital market landscape. Noteworthy participants in the UK RLN
include institutions such as Barclays, Citi, HSBC, and others,
supported by advisory and technology partners like EY, Linklaters, R3, Quant,
DXC Technology, and Coadjute.

R3 brings its expertise in delivering sophisticated projects
for regulated markets, offering critical shared ledger capabilities through its
Corda platform and Digital Currency solution. Quant’s role involves
facilitating programmability and interoperability across different monetary
forms, leveraging its Overledger platform to provide orchestration and API
integration.

We’re proud to announce that – together with @inside_r3 – we have been selected to produce the technology prototype for the experimentation phase of the UK’s #RegulatedLiabilityNetwork, led by @UKFtweets and supported by @EYnews.#IFGS2024https://t.co/yfGvaRPVkt
