Kaleido built the underlying DLT network infrastructure that powered Project Guardian’s exploration of tokenized assets and composable financial primitives. The initiative focused on enabling institutional-grade DeFi workflows, allowing regulated financial institutions to transact, settle, and compose digital assets within a secure and interoperable blockchain environment. 

Kaleido provided the enterprise-grade platform foundation required to support these advanced capital markets use cases, ensuring scalability, operational resilience, and production-ready blockchain capabilities suitable for global financial institutions.

Practically, this took the form of providing and managing the blockchain network in addition to the digital assets and middleware tooling that allowed MAS and participating institutions to experiment with tokenized deposits, on-chain asset representations, and programmable financial workflows. 

By providing secure network operations, middleware, and digital asset tooling, Kaleido enabled institutional participants to test composable finance models in a controlled sandbox while maintaining the performance, governance, and reliability expectations of regulated markets. This work positioned Kaleido as a trusted infrastructure partner for central banks and global financial institutions exploring next-generation digital asset and tokenization frameworks.
