Blockchain platforms and networks in financial services

Hosn Al Tomoh builds permissioned networks for financial services with custody-aware keys, upgrade governance, and integration bridges that core systems and regulators can follow.

Market infrastructure and settlement pilots need clear validator governance and legal structures, not only fast prototypes. We document membership changes, key ceremonies, and evidence for third-party risk.

We connect ledgers to existing payment and securities systems using idempotent settlement patterns and replay protection that your operations team can test every month.

Disaster recovery plans include chain replay assumptions and regulator notification paths, so incidents do not catch anyone unprepared.

What we deliver

Specialists in financial services and platform engineers, with you from design to stable operation.

  • Consortium governance

    Membership, voting, upgrade and exit rules written down and agreed with participants before the network goes live.

  • Node and identity operations

    Node hosting, certificate authorities and key issuance designed so each member controls its own identities and data.

  • Integration with member systems

    Adapters that post to and read from the ledger without duplicating records already held in each member's core systems.

  • Financial regulators

    Banks and market participants test shared ledgers under their own regulator: the CBUAE, the DFSA or the FSRA in the UAE, with VARA or the SCA where virtual assets are involved, and SAMA or the Capital Market Authority in Saudi Arabia. We map delivery evidence to each member's regime.

  • Data placement rules

    Rules for what is written on the ledger and what stays off it, so personal data is not stored where it cannot be erased.

  • Network operations

    Monitoring, upgrades and incident handling shared between members under a written operating agreement.

What to have in place first

A shared ledger is worth building when several parties need the same record and none of them should hold it alone.

  • The regulatory reporting and audit dates the programme must respect have been identified.
  • At least two organisations have agreed to share the ledger and named an owner on each side.
  • The members have agreed which data goes on the ledger and which stays in their own systems.
