We design protocols for decentralised markets

Founded in 2015, Clearmatics is a London-based blockchain company. We build decentralised network platforms for the p2p exchange of tokenised value between network members. We care deeply about protocols, p2p architectures, removing friction and market inefficiencies, strong security guarantees, and interoperable exchange across platforms to build p2p ecosystems.

We research, design, develop, and deploy our technologies in order to create truly decentralised market infrastructures from the ground up, but we are committed to creating something that is bigger than ourselves, by fostering ecosystems, community, collaboration, and innovation.

P2p networks enable the transfer of economic value and the automation of contractual and fiduciary operations without reliance on trusted third parties. Such decentralised networks can interact with one another, thus creating a wider ecosystem of value, which leads to network effects that ensure their continued growth as part of wider decentralised financial markets.

The concept of Decentralised Markets is still relatively new. It builds on the security and resilience guarantees of distributed ledgers to provide platforms that can tokenise value, transfer ownership of that value between participants, and allow interoperability of value transfer and exchange across platforms.

We believe that such technologies will drive the rapid adoption and growth of next-generation markets, where intermediaries are removed, incentive structures encourage self-regulation, and risks are mitigated and reduced to the minimum. Decentralised markets not only provide cryptographically secure environments for market participants to transact, but also express a p2p model of market participation that removes intermediaries. Moreover, they mitigate concentration and liquidity risk, reduce settlement cycles to real-time, remove friction, and lower the transaction cost of economic exchange. This will result in deep and sustained changes to the wider ecosystem for value transfer as well as and pre- post-trade processes.

The Clearmatics team are strong believers in the Free Software and Open Source movements, and the Ethereum community. We work closely with the Ethereum Foundation, and are an active member of the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA).
