Dear community,

Welcome back to our monthly Product Update! As always, we’re here to share our latest technical developments and give you a peek behind the scenes of our ongoing development work to bring a robust, secure, and user-friendly tokenization platform to market. Let’s jump right in!

This Month’s Focus: Our New Partnership with Cashlink

This month, the spotlight is on a major strategic advancement: we’ve partnered with Cashlink, a German BaFin-licensed crypto security token registrar. This is a significant milestone for us, as it helps ensure that the tokenization processes we provide are fully compliant within the strictly regulated jurisdictions in Europe.

What does this mean for our platform and our community? By working closely with Cashlink, we’re simplifying the launch, management, and transfer of regulated security tokens. This integration will allow issuers to manage their offerings in a fully compliant way - directly within the ONINO Tokenization Platform. Our developer team is currently hard at work integrating Cashlink’s APIs via secure API gateways, ensuring that sensitive data is properly protected and that communication between our two platforms is both - efficient and robust.

Stay tuned for a more detailed, dedicated blog post on the ins and outs of our partnership with Cashlink, where we’ll break down what this synergy means for issuers, investors, and the broader Web3 ecosystem - coming soon.

What We’ve Been Up To

Integrating Cashlink’s APIs via Secure API Gateways

Our development team’s number one priority this month has been connecting our platform to Cashlink’s infrastructure. This involves:

🔁 API Gateway Implementation

We’re introducing a secure layer between our platform and Cashlink’s services. Think of it as a dedicated “tunnel” that ensures all requests and responses are validated, authorized, and fully protected before hitting the internal systems and being forwarded to Cashlink.

🔒 Role & Access Controls for External Calls

As we bring in external APIs, we’ve refined our role-based access controls to ensure that only the right internal components and services can call Cashlink’s endpoints, reducing any risk of misconfiguration or unauthorized usage.

🏃 Performance & Reliability Checks

Before these integrations go live, we’re subjecting them to an intense battery of load tests, ensuring that even under peak usage, data retrieval and token issuance run smoothly and securely.

Improved Developer Tooling & Internal Diagnostics

To deliver a seamless issuer and investor experience, we need to keep our own developer toolkit sharp. This month, we’ve worked on:

🤖 Automated Testing Enhancements

We’ve introduced finer-grained unit and integration tests specifically targeting the new Cashlink integration paths. If something goes wrong, we’ll know about it before it ever touches production.

🔎Logging & Observability Improvements

We’ve amped up our logging system to capture more granular insights into API interactions. This makes diagnosing issues faster and helps us maintain the high uptime and reliability our users expect.

Behind the Screens 🤓

Welcome back to our “Behind the Screens” section, for brutally honest (possibly slightly annoyed) developer insights, where we talk openly and tongue-in-cheek about our biggest hurdles - and how we solved them!

The Challenge

Integrating with external services can get tricky, especially when you’re dealing with regulated markets. Our efforts to integrate Cashlink’s APIs required us to implement a secure API gateway. This might sound straightforward, but the devil’s in the details.

Why So Complicated?

When connecting two sophisticated systems - our tokenization engine and Cashlink’s compliance-driven token registry - security, stability, and clarity are paramount. It’s not just about calling an API endpoint; it’s about ensuring that the data moving between these endpoints cannot be intercepted, tampered with, or misrouted. Balancing role-based access, token parsing, and encryption keys can feel a bit like solving a puzzle with pieces that keep shifting shape.

The Extra Layer of Security

We had to integrate an additional authentication layer that sits “in front” of our actual backend, checking every request before it’s even allowed to communicate with Cashlink’s system. Getting everything to talk to each other securely and efficiently was no small feat. Let’s just say our code reviews included a lot of coffee, a few deep sighs, and a fair bit of debugging at late hours.

The Result

After countless tests, pings, timeouts, and some colorful Slack channel conversations, we managed to implement a gateway that not only keeps your data safe and sound but also enforces strict compliance checks. Now, we have a secure gate that ensures only verified requests, armed with the correct tokens and roles, can cross the divide. In the end, we’re confident that this behind-the-scenes labor will pay off immensely in terms of reliability and trust.

What’s Next?

• In the coming week, expect a dedicated blog post that explores our partnership with Cashlink in more detail. We’ll outline the full scope of what this integration means, from regulatory compliance to streamlined token issuance workflows.
• After expanding our layout and implementing an enhanced design language last month, we’re now looking at subtle UI refinements inspired by early user feedback. Stay tuned for incremental updates that aim to perfect your tokenization experience.
• With new partnerships come new demands on our infrastructure. We’ll continue to refine our systems for scalability, ensuring that as more issuers and investors come on board, our platform remains fast, secure, and intuitive.
