Dusk, NPEX, Cordial Systems: RWA Custody on DUSK

We are thrilled to announce a key partnership with Cordial Systems, marking a major step toward the realization of a fully blockchain-powered financial ecosystem. This partnership represents a key milestone in Dusk’s vision for an on-chain financial future. The rapid adoption of tokenized assets is reshaping capital markets, unlocking new efficiencies, liquidity, and transparency, and at Dusk we are at the forefront of delivering real solutions for institutions.
Cordial Systems: Strategic Partners
Cordial Systems has established itself as a trusted innovator in the tokenization sector, collaborating with industry leaders such as Figure Markets and its parent company, Figure.com, which has facilitated the origination of over $20 billion in private credit on-chain.
For our integration with NPEX, Cordial Treasury was the ideal solution, offering a seamless deployment process and fully on-premises infrastructure. Given its status as a regulated financial institution, NPEX prioritizes maintaining direct control over its technology stack, avoiding the risks associated with third-party SaaS custody solutions. Cordial’s expertise in blockchain integration—capable of adding support for new networks within weeks—enabled a smooth connection with Dusk’s approved Layer 1 blockchain.
We are thrilled to partner with such a trustworthy and impressive partner, and are excited for the opportunities their custodial solution will open up.
Dusk Institution-Grade Custody: The Backbone of Secure Digital Asset Management
A key element of this initiative is Dusk Vault, which provides a secure and compliant custody solution tailored for financial institutions. NPEX is not just an integration partner but also a client, further validating the reliability and security of Dusk’s custody infrastructure.
By leveraging Cordial Treasury, a self-hosted wallet technology developed by Cordial Systems, institutions like NPEX can maintain full control over their digital asset custody. This eliminates dependence on third-party SaaS providers, ensuring operational resilience and regulatory compliance.
This strategic move not only enhances security but also accelerates institutional adoption of Dusk’s Layer 1 blockchain, making it a preferred choice for compliant digital asset transactions.
Why This Partnership is Key to Dusk’s Future Plans
This collaboration is a cornerstone of Dusk’s broader vision to build a fully decentralized and compliant financial ecosystem. By working with NPEX and Cordial Systems, Dusk is ensuring that traditional financial institutions can truly transition to blockchain-based infrastructure without compromising on security, regulation, or operational efficiency. Not just a few tokenized products here and there that are still managed and issued off-chain, but bringing the entire system onto the Dusk blockchain.
With the expansion of on-chain finance, we will introduce custody solutions for all digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, tokenized securities, and commodities. This will significantly streamline institutional onboarding, making Dusk an integral player in the convergence of blockchain and traditional finance.
Redefining the Future of Finance
As the demand for blockchain-based financial solutions grows, partnerships like this will define the next generation of capital markets. Dusk remains at the forefront of innovation, ensuring that institutions can leverage decentralized ledger technology while adhering to the strictest compliance standards.
For institutions looking to embrace the next wave of digital finance, Dusk provides the foundation for secure, scalable, and regulation-ready blockchain solutions.
