How Tassat and Lynq Are Rebuilding Financial Infrastructure

Summary

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.
