Wave 13 · Guide Hub

Wholesale Tokenized Settlement — Cash & Cross-Network Layer

The cash/money layer for tokenized markets — the bottleneck holding back the $2–9T RWA tokenization stack. Wave 13 covers three converging forms of tokenized money: tokenized commercial bank deposits / deposit tokens (JPMD/Kinexys, UK Regulated Liability Network); tokenized central bank money (BIS Project Agorá — real-value testing May 2026; ECB Pontes — TARGET-link pilot end-Q3 2026); and regulated stablecoins (GENIUS Act / MiCA) as a settlement-asset option to be classified against the others.

These tools validate deposit-token compliance, classify settlement-asset finality (SFD designation / PFMI / UCC Art.12 / contractual), check cross-network atomic DvP/PvP (the Agorá / Pontes / DTCC Collateral AppChain coordination patterns), model 24/7 collateral mobility, stress intraday liquidity, screen settlement participants, and emit a hash-anchored audit pack — agent-native end-to-end via OpenChainGraph v0.4 Compute Binding.

Distinct from Wave 8 Canton (asset layer): Wave 8 covers tokenized assets (Daml DvP, tokenized collateral/securities on Canton, a single network). Wave 13 covers the tokenized cash and cross-network settlement seam — how tokenized money achieves legal finality, how it moves across networks, and how a cash leg and an asset leg settle atomically when they live on separate ledgers.

Tools — 4 new (start with ART-56)

All four emit verifiable OpenChainGraph v0.4 artifacts and compute server-side over MCP (Compute Binding). Run ART-56 first — it grades your firm/desk across the cash layer and routes to the right wts-* chain.

Wholesale Tokenized Settlement Fit Diagnostic
12-question A–F readiness diagnostic across 6 weighted dimensions: settlement-asset type, finality regime, cross-network atomicity, asset-leg type, deposit-token issuer, intraday liquidity, and reconciliation controls. Routes to the right wts-* chain.

Deposit-Token Compliance Validator
3-test validator for bank-liability deposit tokens (JPMD/RLN model): at-par redemption, on-balance-sheet liability, holder eligibility. Classifies DEPOSIT_TOKEN_CONFIRMED / CBM_TOKEN / EMT_STABLECOIN / MISCLASSIFIED. US/UK/EU regime notes.

Cross-Network Atomic Settlement Validator
Validates atomic settlement across 2+ networks: cash-leg finality on the money ledger, asset-leg delivery on the asset ledger, FX-leg PvP. Detects finality mismatch, non-atomic risk, PvP gaps per CPMI-IOSCO PFMI P.8 + P.12. Models BIS Agorá / ECB Pontes / DTCC Collateral AppChain.

Settlement-Asset & Legal-Finality Classifier
Classifies the settlement asset (CBM token / tokenized deposit / stablecoin / e-money) against its finality regime (SFD 98/26/EC / PFMI P.8 / UCC Art.12) → finality tier 1–4 + singleness-of-money verdict. Gates ART-58 cross-network atomicity check.

Chains — 8 workflows (~75% reuse)

Each chains the new Wave-13 tools with the existing capital-markets, AML, crypto-integrity, and Canton stack. Terminal artifacts carry the full provenance chain and can be exported via export_artifact.
