The Core Problem
TradFi needs innovation. DeFi needs trust. We build the utilities that connect them.
Trust – Standards – Infrastructure
Infrastructure for Trusted Digital Finance
RFI’s digital utilities are designed to support cross-institution collaboration, reduce operational fragmentation, and improve trust across financial ecosystems.
Rather than operating as standalone commercial tools, these utilities function as shared infrastructure — enabling responsible information exchange while preserving institutional accountability and data-protection principles.
Trust – Interoperability – Accountability
Our Approach to Digital Utilities
RFI develops digital utilities through an industry-led, governance-driven approach that prioritises interoperability, institutional accountability, and long-term ecosystem trust.
Our focus is not on building isolated tools, but on creating shared infrastructure that addresses systemic coordination and compliance challenges.
From Industry Needs to Shared Infrastructure
RFI works closely with financial institutions, digital asset service providers, regulators, and technology partners to identify real-world operational and regulatory challenges.
These insights inform the design of shared digital utilities – such as VITA and CERT – ensuring that solutions are grounded in actual industry needs rather than theoretical concepts.
Executing Utilities Through Governance & Collaboration
RFI ensures that each digital utility is developed through structured governance, clear accountability, and multi-stakeholder collaboration.
Implementation is guided by working groups, subject-matter experts, and institutional partners to ensure solutions meet regulatory expectations, operational realities, and ecosystem-wide trust requirements.
Sustaining Digital Utilities for Long-Term Impact
After deployment, RFI continues to steward each digital utility to ensure adoption, operational reliability, and continuous improvement.
This includes onboarding institutions, monitoring ecosystem performance, refining governance mechanisms, and supporting long-term sustainability through partnerships and community engagement.
Shared Infrastructure — Governance — Ecosystem Trust
Participation & Institutional Access
Access and participation models vary depending on institutional role, use case, and governance requirements. RFI works closely with ecosystem partners to ensure fair, transparent, and sustainable engagement structures.
Participation terms may differ across utilities such as VITA and CERT. Please contact RFI for detailed engagement guidelines.
