  • Custody;
  • Escrow services;
  • Automated transfers;
  • Balance confirmations; and
  • Account related requests.

It can be deployed by an exchange or third-party custodians linking to their internal digital asset storage; or by external third-party providers looking to provide wallet sub-systems.

All wallets are created automatically and managed by the ForumWallet subsystem (and are never deleted). Wallet keys are stored with strong encryption with periodic key rotation. Key backups are also stored with strong encryption and so available if needed for recovery. Rotation is configurable (currently day/week/biweekly).

The digital asset wallet and settlement framework can also be utilised to tokenise existing securities and assets as well as facilitate deposits into internal hot, warm and highly secure cold storage wallets with subsequent trading and withdrawals into external wallets as and when required.
