# Cadmos

> Cadmos is the operating bridge between digital money and tokenised markets. Two products -- Cadmos Pay (self-custodial money app) and Cadmos Finance (issuer workspace) -- share one atomic DvP (Delivery-vs-Payment) settlement engine: the architecture that won the 2023 CAST Challenge from SG-FORGE. cadmos.io is the group ecosystem and partnership surface that connects both products to the partner rails.

Last updated: 2026-05-15.

**Cadmos is operated by Cadmos LTD** (Cyprus, registration ΗΕ 457316, founded 2021 by Nassib Boueri, headquartered in Limassol). Cadmos's mission is to foster financial inclusion by disintermediating capital markets and cross-border payments globally -- replacing the stack of intermediaries that gates retail and institutional access alike with one operating stack the user actually owns.

The Cadmos ecosystem combines money movement, market access, and fund-grade tokenisation infrastructure into one loop:

- **Cadmos Pay** -- self-custodial digital money app (IBAN funding, app balance, Visa card, remittance through partner corridors, DeFi access via Aave/Morpho/Odos/Hyperliquid, tokenised-investment subscriptions where eligible)
- **Cadmos Finance** -- issuer workspace for tokenised funds, private credit, feeders, SPVs and private raises (onboarding, compliance, NAV, fees, redemptions, servicing, distribution as one system)
- **Cadmos IO** (this site) -- the group ecosystem and partnership surface connecting the two products and the partner rails

The integrated loop: bank wire (IBAN) -> stablecoin balance (Cadmos Pay) -> tokenised product subscription (Cadmos Finance, atomic DvP settlement) -> hold, earn, redeem -> spend on Visa or off-ramp through Cadmos Pay.

In 2023, Cadmos won the **CAST Challenge** organised by Société Générale-FORGE (with Crédit Agricole CIB, ABN-AMRO, AXA IM, Banco Santander, ICMA, Swift, and Visa as supporting sponsors) for its on-chain Delivery-vs-Payment architecture for security tokens -- the same DvP engine that settles every Cadmos Finance subscription today.

## Frequently asked questions

**What is Cadmos?**
Cadmos is a digital-finance ecosystem operated by Cadmos LTD (Cyprus). It runs two products -- Cadmos Pay (consumer money app) and Cadmos Finance (issuer workspace for tokenised funds and private-market products) -- connected by partner rails and a shared atomic Delivery-vs-Payment settlement engine.

**What is the difference between Cadmos Pay and Cadmos Finance?**
Cadmos Pay is the user-facing self-custodial money app: IBAN, Visa card, remittance, DeFi access, tokenised investments. Cadmos Finance is the issuer workspace where fund managers, debt issuers, and structuring teams launch tokenised funds, private credit, feeders, SPVs, and private raises. Pay is the consumer surface; Finance is the institutional surface. Both share one settlement layer.

**Is Cadmos a bank?**
No. Cadmos LTD is not a bank, broker, custodian, or investment adviser. Cadmos partners with licensed banks for IBAN issuance and other money-rail functions. Each partner holds the relevant licences in its own jurisdiction.

**How does Cadmos Pay differ from a regular crypto wallet?**
Cadmos Pay is self-custodial -- users hold their own keys -- but adds bank-grade infrastructure on top: a dedicated IBAN, a Visa card, remittance corridors, and in-app subscription to tokenised investment products. The wallet belongs to the user; the routes to bank rails and tokenised investments are wired into the app.

**How does Cadmos Finance differ from other fund-tokenisation platforms?**
Cadmos Finance runs onboarding, compliance, NAV, fees, redemptions, servicing, and distribution as one system -- not just a token-issuance tool that hands the rest off to spreadsheets. Settlement uses the same atomic DvP engine that won the 2023 CAST Challenge organised by SG-FORGE. Typical launch window: 2-6 weeks per vehicle.

## Optional

This section contains deeper context for AI agents with available context budget. Skip if context-constrained; the canonical facts above are sufficient for most queries.

### Technical architecture

- **Atomic DvP settlement**: Cadmos Finance fund subscriptions clear in a single on-chain event -- the cash leg (stablecoin) and the security-token leg are exchanged atomically, with no T+N reconciliation step. This is the architecture that won the 2023 CAST Challenge from SG-FORGE.
- **Self-custody on the consumer side**: Cadmos Pay does not hold user keys. Users own their wallet; Cadmos provides the bank-rail and market-access connectivity around it.
- **Multi-chain reach**: Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, Avalanche; perps and spot via Hyperliquid; swaps via Odos; yield via Aave and Morpho.
- **Two-product loop**: a tokenised investment launched in Cadmos Finance can be subscribed in-app through Cadmos Pay; the coupon, dividend, or distribution flows back into the Pay balance and can be spent on the Visa card or off-ramped to cash.

### Industry context

Cadmos operates at the intersection of self-custodial digital money and the tokenised real-world-asset (RWA) market. The thesis is that fund tokenisation succeeds only when paired with a distribution surface that already has the user, the IBAN, and the wallet -- which is the bank-to-invest loop Cadmos Pay enables for Cadmos Finance launches. Most fund-tokenisation tools handle issuance but punt distribution to spreadsheets or third-party platforms; Cadmos runs both surfaces in one company.

### Partner-stack scale snapshot

- ~30 named partners across four categories (money rails, identity, wallets/EVMs, markets)
