Customer Story: Xpansiv

Background

Xpansiv is the global marketplace for transacting an infinite array of data-driven commodity products in an intuitive, user-friendly environment. Xpansiv prices energy, carbon, and water based on deeper data. They’re the global marketplace for data-driven, ESG-inclusive products, and the platform for redefining value based on immutable information. They help prove provenance so commodities can be valued according to their full life-cycle story.

Xpansiv applied their core-competency in ESG and commodity-market infrastructure to prove what’s possible, drive liquidity, and build relationships with established market participants. When it came time to scale, process standardization and interoperability were required, and Digital Asset is the ideal partner to help them build that ESG ecosystem.

Challenge

• Gathering and systematizing enormous amounts of data from multiple sources, supporting rapid analysis, price discovery, and complete market transparency.

• Tracking the digital commodity from launch through its entire lifecycle to provide investor confidence and surety that ESG intentions are achieved.

• Creating an infrastructure that allows for continuous innovation, so that new assets, applications, and workflows can be added without affecting market performance.

• Connecting all parties without cumbersome, costly technology — and allowing the flexibility to add or change components as needs evolve.

Strategy

• Simple to use: Xpansiv’s team is already writing in Daml, working closely with Digital Asset experts.

• Portable and interoperable: Xpansiv can add, change, or expand its ledger, blockchain, or database providers as business needs evolve, without rewriting any code or applications. Using Daml’s

• Canton interoperability protocol, Xpansiv can atomically transact and settle across otherwise unconnected networks.

• Easy to integrate: Standardized Daml APIs give market participants seamless connectivity to Xpansiv’s services and infrastructure, without costly technology builds.

Outcome

• Xpansiv’s Daml-driven architecture ensures an immutable record of production and ESG data for the entire lifecycle of a digital commodity, from asset creation to trading. This enables ESG-minded consumers to procure assets with confidence and in accordance with standardized climate accounting regimes.

• Using Daml to underpin the infrastructure for new data-driven, ESG-inclusive assets—like methane performance, GHG intensity, and carbon-removal products—will drive liquidity and enable these new markets to flourish.
