How Tassat and Lynq Are Rebuilding Financial Infrastructure

The episode features Andre Frank and Jerald David discussing how Tassat and Lynq are rebuilding financial infrastructure using Avalanche for real-time settlement and yield-bearing assets. They highlight the migration from private to public permissioned blockchain, the yield-in-transit patent, and institutional adoption through compliant, risk-managed solutions. - Tassat migrated its settlement system from a private Ethereum-based chain to Avalanche public permissioned blockchain. - Lynq offers real-time settlement with yield-in-transit, allocating interest proportionally based on holding time. - The platform uses tokenized US Treasury fund shares (ARCA) as a yield-bearing settlement asset. - Key partners include Arca, TZ Securities, Fireblocks, US Bank, and market makers like B2C2, Wintermute, Galaxy. - Exchanges such as Crypto.com, EDX, Robinhood, and Bitstamp are integrating with Lynq. - Use cases extend to trade finance, cross-border fund flows, and margin/collateral management for traditional exchanges. - The team emphasizes compliance-first design, with SOC1 Type2 reporting, bankruptcy-remote structure, and privacy via Avalanche subnets. - The show is part of Layer One podcast in collaboration with Avalanche, hosted by Kelvin Sparks and John Wu.
