Cardano’s CIP-113: Brale, Encryptus and Deploi Yan About Stablecoins and Private Credit

Representatives from Brale, Encryptus and Deploi discuss di potential uses of Cardano’s CIP-113 standard during one Cardano Foundation roundtable on October 29. Di conversation cover stablecoin transfers, private credit, security audits and di work wey need to support programmable tokens across di ecosystem.

CIP-113 don dey available for Cardano mainnet since October 7. Di framework allow issuers to apply rules to native tokens through smart contracts, including restrictions on who fit hold or transfer one asset.

How Programmable Tokens Work on Cardano

Giovanni Gargiulo, senior blockchain architect for di Cardano Foundation, explain say CIP-113 combine native assets with smart contracts wey dey check issuer-defined rules. Dem organize di rules into modules, so issuers fit choose controls wey match their products.

One module fit restrict transfers to addresses wey belong to users wey don complete identity verification. Other functions fit include lists of prohibited addresses, freezing or seizing tokens, and extra transfer conditions.

Gargiulo explain say checks fit apply when tokens dey issued, burned or transferred. Di framework no require hard fork, and existing Cardano assets go continue to operate under their current rules.

Estelle Roiena, di Foundation institutional finance and asset integrations lead, note say requirements dey differ based on di asset, jurisdiction and participants. She still identify infrastructure, liquidity and partner networks as key parts to develop market for tokenized assets.

Stablecoin Transfers and Private Credit

Tyler Wales, head of business development for Encryptus and Anzens, describe how USDA, one U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin wey dem issue on Cardano, dey used to move value between countries.

For him example, dollars dey used to mint USDA for di United States. Dem then send di tokens go one wallet for India and redeem am for Indian rupees. Wales explain say identity checks and other requirements dey handled outside di blockchain and discuss how onchain controls fit support interactions with other projects.

Brale Head of Engineering Edward Fleming address di challenges of issuing stablecoins across markets wey get different requirements. He explain say di company dey operate for most U.S. states and must account for rules wey vary between jurisdictions.

Fleming describe one approach wey policies dey maintained offchain while controls dey enforced onchain. During regulatory examinations, di company fit point to di policy and di corresponding onchain implementation, he explain.

Oskars Jepsis, founder and CEO of Deploi, outline di company approach to private credit. Deploi dey connect lenders and investors and dey verify loan and cash-flow data, to help investors identify opportunities wey match their criteria.

Jepsis describe one token model wey real loans back am, where only approved investors fit hold di asset. He still talk say nobody, including Deploi, fit seize di token.

Integration and Security Work

Fleming identify two challenges for implementing CIP-113: to coordinate support across wallets, marketplaces and other infrastructure providers, and to complete di security reviews wey follow di implementation. He note say one audit during Brale development work add to di initial workload.

Gargiulo explain say di standard implementation don pass through two rounds of audits. Individual modules still need review, he add, because different financial products fit use different sets of rules. Jepsis describe di testing wey dem need to ensure say Deploi smart contract rules meet im business requirements.

Di panel still discuss how programmable tokens fit work with existing Cardano infrastructure. Gargiulo point to work wey involve Eternl, GeroWallet, CardanoScan and Cexplorer, and explain say decentralized exchanges fit adapt some parts of their existing systems to handle di tokens.

For automated market maker exchanges, Gargiulo note say integrations go need to account for di programmable token checks when dem dey build transactions.
