TESSA

Distributed ledger built for tokenized securities

A dedicated ledger for tokenized securities

The distributed ledger infrastructure for IXTO’s governance and lifecycle management. Configure nodes to match institutional participation and operating requirements.

  • Purpose-built ledger structure
  • Runtime for IXTO
  • On-premises, Besu-based
  • KSD quantity-management interface

Who it is for

Operators that need dedicated ledger infrastructure for a tokenized securities business, and institutions evaluating IXTO

Adoption benefits

Build a dedicated ledger environment for securities operations.

  • PURPOSE BUILT

    Securities operations

    Record ledger entries and changes in rights through IXTO smart contracts on the distributed ledger.

  • DATA RESIDENCY

    Operating options

    Choose between institution-operated nodes and dedicated nodes provided by TESSA. A separate dedicated ledger can also be scoped.

  • ACCESS CONTROL

    Node and access control

    Control node access and smart contract execution according to institutional roles and network policies.

What it comprises

The ledger functions a tokenized securities business needs, provided as standard.

  • SECURITY LEDGER

    A ledger structured for tokenized securities

    Issuance, account transfer, redemption, pledge, seizure and disposal restriction are supported at ledger level.

  • TOKEN MANAGER

    Contract deployment and permissions

    TokenManager handles the deployment and permissions of tokenized-securities smart contracts.

  • SECURITY TOKEN

    The record of holdings and rights

    The SecurityToken ledger records holdings and processed changes in rights.

  • KSD INTERFACE

    Total-volume management interface

    Provide smart contract interfaces for integration with the electronic registration institution’s total-volume management functions. Institutional scope and procedures are confirmed during adoption.

  • ON PREMISES

    Deployed in your environment

    Define Besu node deployment and connectivity according to institutional infrastructure and security requirements.

Distributed Ledger Explorer

View the network summary alongside the latest blocks and transactions. Find records by block or transaction hash, and check contract events and their processing status.

01

Network summary

Shows indexing status and the on-chain range covered.

02

Block and transaction lookup

Explore records by block number or transaction hash.

03

Event review

Distinguishes decoded events from undefined ones.

Network composition

Three layers: the network, the smart contracts, and the institutional interfaces.

Network

  • IXO-NET RPC Node

    Ledger access

  • Node operation

    Deployed in your environment

Smart contracts

  • TokenManager

    Deployment and permissions

  • SecurityToken

    Rights-change ledger

Institutional connections

  • Quantity-management interface

    Electronic registration institution interface

  • IXTO connection

    Lifecycle management solution

Institutional Node Participation

Consensus nodes and business-access nodes have distinct roles. Connections between institutions follow integration standards and security requirements, with VPN and access-control scope agreed case by case.

Conceptual view of node roles and integration targets · actual node count and topology agreed with each institution

Validator · Consensus only

Proposes and validates blocks and reaches consensus. Access is managed separately from business access paths.

RPC · Business access

Handles queries and transaction submission, keeping business-service access paths separate from consensus nodes.

Transaction Processing and Record Lookup

Ledger finality and the explorer’s indexing status are checked separately. IXTO links actual processing results to workflow status.

Read-only explorer

Look up blocks, transactions, addresses and security tokens. The explorer has no ledger-entry permissions and shows its lookup scope and indexing lag.

Participation and Operating Options

The participation model and scope of supply are set to match each institution’s operating capability and security requirements.

01

Institution-run node

The institution builds and operates its own Validator and RPC nodes.

Operating team · Node setup · Network access
02

Dedicated node lease

The scope of use and operating responsibilities for a TESSA-provided dedicated node are agreed.

Operating scope · Access rights · Support model
By arrangement

Private distributed ledger

For institutions that need a separate network, the scope of a private ledger and IXTO supply is agreed.

Consensus · VPN · Contracts · Integration
Integration foundation

Built on EVM contracts and standard RPC and WebSocket interfaces. For a private network, the deployment, signing and upgrade paths of the target environment are confirmed.

Deployment process

We confirm your infrastructure environment together, then compose the network.

  1. STEP 01

    Environment assessment

    We review your infrastructure environment and operating policy together.

  2. STEP 02

    Network composition

    Define node topology, access rights and operating policies.

  3. STEP 03

    Contract deployment

    TokenManager and SecurityToken are deployed and verified.

  4. STEP 04

    Business integration

    Connected to IXTO and the institutional interfaces, and confirmed in operation.

Deployment and verification

  • Runtime for IXTO

    Acts as the execution layer for IXTO, our governance and lifecycle management solution

  • Deployment environment

    Support for on-premises operation

  • Electronic registration institution interface
