Digital Asset (or Digital Asset Holdings, LLC) is a financial technology company founded in 2014 by Sunil Hirani and Don R. Wilson. It builds products based on distributed ledger technology (DLT) for banks and other financial institutions.[1]

History[]

On June 25, 2015 the Moneybeat column from The Wall Street Journal wrote that the "acquisition of HyperLedger might raise eyebrows in the bitcoin community, where there is aversion to the idea that Wall Street might co-opt blockchain technology and strip it of its decentralized nature."[2][3][4]

The Digital Asset Platform[]

The company’s primary offering is the Digital Asset Platform, a replicated Distributed Ledger Technology log with partially replicated reference data. An overview of the Digital Asset Platform can be found in a non-technical whitepaper published by the company in December 2016.[5]

Digital Asset Modeling Language[]

Digital Asset Modeling Language ("DAML") is an open-source smart contract language inspired by Haskell. It aids in modeling agreements and runs on blockchain platforms.[6]
