Solutions · Regulated digital assets
Launch a VARA-regulated digital-asset venue on a platform we have already built.
A pre-built, white-label platform for Virtual Asset Broker-Dealer, Exchange and Custody businesses in the UAE. Onboarding, custody, fiat rails and trading on a compliance-grade ledger, configured to your brand and live in weeks, not years.
01
Pre-built and white-label
You are not commissioning a bespoke build. You are deploying a proven platform, then setting your brand, assets, fees and limits on top. The hard, common parts already exist and have run in production.
02
Live in weeks, not years
Starting from a working core rather than a blank page collapses time to market, and the platform is integrated with your providers before you go live instead of after.
03
Engineered to VARA's bar
Client-asset segregation, immutable audit and daily reconciliation are structural, not features bolted on later. The technical controls a Broker-Dealer, Exchange, or Custody licensee has to demonstrate are built into the platform.
A complete platform, retail and institutional.
Everything a regulated virtual-asset business needs to onboard, hold, move and trade, with an admin and compliance back office to run it.
Onboarding
Individual and business KYC and KYB, tiered limits, and compliance case management.
Fiat rails
Per-customer virtual IBANs, name-matched deposits and payout processing.
Custody and wallets
Segregated custody, crypto deposits and withdrawals with approval workflows.
Trading
Buy, sell and swap with firm quotes on a principal-dealer model, plus treasury replenishment.
Double-entry ledger
Exact-decimal accounting, holds and reservations, and a complete append-only history.
Admin and compliance
Operations queues, maker-checker approvals, KYT alerts, reporting and an audit-log viewer.
Integrations
Your providers, behind one adapter layer.
The platform is provider-agnostic. These are the integrations it is built and delivered with today; anything else connects through the same adapter interface.
Fasset, Binance
Firm quotes, spreads and treasury replenishment, sourced through the liquidity adapter.
Zand Digital Asset Custody, Fireblocks
Segregated client custody, deposits and withdrawals with approval workflows.
Zand Bank
Banking integration, per-customer virtual IBANs and name-matched deposits.
VARA fit
The obligations, answered line by line.
The technical obligations behind a Broker-Dealer, Exchange, or Custody licence, mapped to how the platform addresses each one.
Client-asset segregation
A double-entry ledger with per-customer sub-ledgers and control accounts. Client holdings are structurally separated from the platform's own position, and the ledger is designed to block any movement that would create a client-asset shortfall, and halts the affected flow if one is attempted.
Immutable audit
An append-only event store plus write-once, read-many storage with long retention. Records cannot be altered or deleted once written, and the full state can be replayed for a reviewer.
Daily reconciliation
Automated variance reporting compares internal control totals, per asset, against custodian, bank and liquidity balances. Differences are surfaced rather than absorbed, and breaks are quarantined to suspense.
AML, KYC and Travel Rule
Integrated identity verification, sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening, on-chain transaction monitoring, and Travel Rule messaging (IVMS101) for cross-VASP transfers.
Technology and security
Multi-factor authentication on privileged access, role-based least privilege, encryption in transit and at rest, and a design ready for independent penetration testing.
Data residency and resilience
Deployed in the UAE region across multiple availability zones, with a defined disaster-recovery posture and stated recovery objectives.
Regulatory reporting
Read models and exports for periodic financial and operational reporting, plus the audit trail behind material-event notifications.
Engineered like market infrastructure.
The decisions that make the platform trustworthy to a regulator and safe to operate.
Ledger as source of truth
Every balance shown anywhere is derived from one append-only ledger. Corrections are new reversing entries, never edits, so the record stays complete and provable.
Event-driven, exactly once
Services communicate over an event backbone with a transactional outbox, so a committed movement is never lost and never double-counted.
Provider-agnostic adapters
Custody, banking, liquidity and screening vendors sit behind clean adapters, from Zand Bank and Zand Digital Asset Custody to Fireblocks, Fasset and Binance. Swap a provider without touching core logic, and test against mocks before you integrate.
A full retail and institutional virtual-asset broker-dealer, delivered as a forkable, white-label core, with architecture documentation prepared to support the VARA submission process.
Delivered under NDA. We can walk your team through the architecture and controls in a scoping call.
From scoping to a platform you own.
A proven core plus your configuration and integrations, delivered and handed over cleanly. Your platform, your IP.
- Step 01
Scope and align
Map your VARA activities to the platform and identify your custody, banking and screening providers.
- Step 02
Configure
Brand, supported assets, fees, spreads and limits set on the white-label core.
- Step 03
Integrate
Connect your providers through adapters, validated against mocks first, then live.
- Step 04
Harden and document
Security, disaster recovery, and architecture documentation prepared to support the VARA submission process.
- Step 05
Handover and support
Your platform, your IP. We support the transition to your team operating it.
Platform readiness, provider integration, security testing, operational readiness, and regulatory approval are distinct milestones; the scoping call maps them onto one timeline.
What founders ask us first.
Do you provide the VARA licence?
No. We build and document the technology to VARA's technical expectations. The licence application and any regulatory decision rest with you and your legal advisors.
How fast can we launch?
Because we start from a proven, pre-built core rather than a blank page, configuration and provider integration are measured in weeks. Two clocks run outside our control and are not included in that figure: your providers' own onboarding timelines, and the licensing process itself. We map both in the scoping call so the plan reflects your real critical path.
What does white-label mean here?
The platform is deployed as your product: your brand, assets, fees, spreads and limits, on a core that is already built and tested.
Who owns the platform and the IP?
You own your deployment and the client-specific work built for you. Our reusable core is licensed to you, and the handover is clean.
Which custody and banking partners do you support?
The platform is provider-agnostic: every vendor sits behind an adapter, so you can bring your own. It is built and delivered with UAE-licensed banking, custody and screening providers through that adapter layer. Current integrations cover liquidity (Fasset, Binance), custody (Zand Digital Asset Custody, Fireblocks) and banking with virtual IBANs (Zand Bank).
