CASE STUDY
Fragmos Chain digitalizes interactions between OTC derivatives market participants
Corda’s private, permissioned blockchain was the optimal choice for us because it offers both the best technology and the best privacy. It also brings commercial advantages as part of a wider ecosystem of financial firms and is aligned with ISDA’s standards. Finally, our solution requires very complex smart contracts, and the fluidity offered by Corda in this area is ideal.

The Corda difference
At R3, we recognize the journey to a new digital economy will be an evolution—not a revolution. And every Corda design choice was made with this key premise in mind.
Bridging hard and smart contracts
How smart contracts work on Corda
Smart contracts on Corda are compatible with existing and future regulations and grounded in legal constructs. They record and manage the evolution of financial agreements and other shared data between two or more permissioned, identifiable parties. Supervisory and regulatory bodies can be given access to the network as observers to verify the contract.
Smart contracts on public blockchains like Ethereum publicly broadcast all transactions to all network participants rather than on a need-to-know, permissioned basis and are not grounded in legal constructs.
An Open core platform that grows with you
Community and Enterprise Editions of Corda
Corda is available in two fully supported editions—Community and Enterprise—that align to where builders are in their Corda journey. Both editions share the same open-source code base ensuring a stable, secure and innovative tech stack. The Community Edition of Corda is ideal for participants who are just getting started and performs and scales for production. The Enterprise Edition offers a more complete platform providing add-on features for convenience and enterprise infrastructure support.
Why Open Source?
- Explore the code—Developers can inspect and verify Corda source code themselves
- Start small and grow with Corda—Build and run your first Corda application using production grade open-source code on the Community Edition and eventually move to the Enterprise Edition as you require more features and support
- Enterprise ecosystem—Leverage an existing enterprise infrastructure for Corda deployment, operations and security compliance
Professional Services is available for both Corda Editions to quicken your time to market.
INTEGRATE WITH ASSETS THAT ORIGINATE ON A NON-CORDA NETWORK.
R3’s commitment to interoperability
Blockchain is a once-in-a-generation innovation that will move industries away from siloed processes and foster inter-connected public and private networks. That’s why we’re actively engaged in asset bridging and atomic swaps proof-of-concepts that show non-traditional digital assets coming securely into and out of a regulatory-compliant Corda-based network.
The power of distributed connected networks
Single identity with mutual memberships
Corda provides the ability to maintain identities across all Corda-based networks and ensures all CorDapp identities are tied to a legal entity reducing security risks.
Asset fluidity
Digital assets and currencies can move freely across network boundaries using well-defined trusted exchange protocols that meet regulatory demands for privacy and security.
Unlocking ‘Regulated Web3’
R3 is building interoperability to ensure Corda can act as a bridge to liquidity beyond the Corda ecosystem. In the future, non-traditional digital assets will travel securely into and out of regulated Corda-based networks.
