Project Kissen
Wholesale settlement infrastructure that reduces nostro/vostro requirements for cross-border payments.
Definition
Project Kissen is the wholesale settlement infrastructure within UDPN that optimises cross-border and cross-currency operations. It reduces nostro/vostro account requirements for commercial banks — the correspondent banking accounts that tie up billions in idle capital globally. By enabling direct settlement between sovereign nodes, Project Kissen dramatically improves capital efficiency for international payments. Large retailers operating across multiple countries benefit from standardised payment infrastructure, while banks gain working capital efficiency and new cross-border service capabilities.
The multi-rail interoperability layer connecting sovereign nodes, compliance frameworks, and cross-border settlement.
Near-instant clearing using stablecoins, replacing the multi-day settlement cycles of legacy rails.
Country-specific infrastructure nodes that preserve national economic sovereignty and data custody.
