The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and Temasek have published the report of the fifth and final phase of Project Ubin: “Project Ubin Phase 5: Enabling Broad Ecosystem Opportunities.” MAS is Singapore’s central bank and financial regulatory authority and acts as a settlement agent, operator and overseer of payment, clearing and settlement systems in Singapore that focus on safety and efficiency. In 2016, MAS started working with several institutions from Singapore and around the world on the production of a proof-of-concept (PoC) to conduct inter-bank payments facilitated by DLT. This initiative known as Project Ubin, is a digital cash-on-ledger project. The purpose of Project Ubin is to evaluate the implications of having a tokenized form of the SGD on a DL, and its potential benefits to Singapore’s financial ecosystem. Across the years, MAS has published five reports during its first four phases. For the final phase of the project, MAS worked closely with Temasek to provide technical insights into the blockchain-based multi-currency payments. They built a network prototype and highlight the value of the blockchain-based multi-currency payments network prototype and its commercial potential for the financial industry. These benefits were validated through workshops conducted with more than 40 financial and non-financial firms engaged in Phase 5 of Project Ubin.

We have successfully demonstrated how the functionality in Ubin payments network can be implemented to enable instant Delivery vs Payment of bonds and payments on blockchain, through an integration with the STACS platform which financial institutions use for the issuance and lifecycle management of digital securities. The platform enables investment banks to issue bonds on behalf of the issuer and they can accept payment of funds via the Ubin payments network.Investors would refer to other banks looking to purchase bonds on behalf of their clients, using funds in the Ubin payments network. The key benefit is to reduce the settlement cycle, improve efficiencies, and secure the payment process by delivering a major digitalization on during the purchase of bonds.

STACS is delighted to have had the opportunity to contribute to this initiative. We continue to support the industry to increase DLT adoption and be part of innovative initiatives into the market digitalization.
