Deutsche Bank is addressing compliance challenges in blockchain adoption with the launch of Project Dama 2, an innovative Layer-2 (L2) solution aimed at improving the regulatory framework for public blockchains like Ethereum.
This initiative is part of the broader Project Guardian, a collaboration with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and other major financial institutions to explore tokenized assets through blockchain technology. Deutsche Bank’s contribution focuses on enhancing Ethereum’s efficiency, reducing transaction costs, and addressing regulatory concerns.
Project Dama 2 uses a dual-chain approach to separate compliance issues from public blockchain benefits, making blockchain more accessible to financial institutions. It incorporates ZKsync technology for faster and more secure transactions and introduces “super admin rights” for regulators to monitor fund movements, enhancing transparency and trust.
This solution aims to bridge the gap between decentralized technologies and regulated financial services.
Deutsche Bank’s initiative shows how public blockchains can be integrated into traditional finance while meeting compliance standards. By focusing on Ethereum, the bank is leveraging a widely used public blockchain to create an efficient, transparent system.
The project, developed with Memento Blockchain Pte. and Interop Labs, is set to introduce a minimum viable product (MVP) next year, potentially setting new standards for blockchain adoption in the financial sector.
