Swift ledger

What is Swift ledger

Swift's blockchain-based shared ledger is an orchestration layer that enables financial institutions to conduct 24/7 cross-border payments using tokenized deposits.

Swift's ledger provides a secure orchestration layer for bank-issued tokenized deposits that remain on banks' own ledgers, enabling them to move funds for customers, including overnight and on weekends, before completing final settlement through existing systems.

The ledger does not change Swift's role as a global financial messaging network. Final settlement continues through agreed mechanisms, such as real-time gross settlement systems. Banks can therefore extend payment availability without replacing their existing settlement arrangements. This preserves the benefits of commercial bank money.

Answers

Swift ledger, explained

Why does Swift's ledger matter for banks?
It preserves the benefits of commercial bank money while extending what banks can offer. Bank-issued tokenized deposits stay on banks' balance sheets, payment availability extends to 24/7, including overnight and on weekends, and final settlement continues through existing arrangements such as real-time gross settlement systems. Banks modernize cross-border payments without replacing the settlement infrastructure they already rely on.
Does Swift's ledger change Swift's role as a messaging network?
No. Swift's ledger does not change Swift's role as a global financial messaging network. Final settlement continues through agreed mechanisms, such as real-time gross settlement systems, so banks can extend payment availability without replacing their existing settlement arrangements.
How does Taurus connect financial institutions to Swift's ledger?
Taurus is enabling financial institutions to connect to Swift's blockchain-based shared ledger. Taurus has completed connectivity with Swift's DLT infrastructure and integrated Swift smart contracts with its tokenization (Taurus‑CAPITAL) and custody (Taurus‑PROTECT) solutions on clients' permissioned blockchain infrastructure.
Do I need my own Hyperledger Besu infrastructure or EVM connectivity to connect?
No. Taurus supports three paths: institutions without Hyperledger Besu can use Besu and EVM connectivity provided as a managed service by Taurus; institutions already running Besu and supporting EVM compatible blockchains can have Taurus connect to their existing nodes; and existing Taurus clients can have their Taurus‑PROTECT instance extended, with setup in a matter of days on the infrastructure they already use.
How widely is Swift's ledger adopted?
Swift announced its blockchain-based shared ledger at Sibos 2025. It was designed in collaboration with more than 40 financial institutions from around the world and went from concept to activation within nine months. Seventeen first-mover institutions are piloting tokenized deposit transactions, and Swift connects more than 11,500 financial institutions and corporates across more than 200 markets.
