How Polymesh is solving the challenges facing security token adoption

Polymesh is designed to bring blockchain technology to the world of traditional finance—and overcome the challenges that are preventing financial institutions from getting on board with tokenized securities. As with traditional securities, security tokens are subject to financial regulations and need to adhere to strict compliance standards—which general-purpose blockchains have hitherto struggled to meet. Enter Polymesh. Designed by Polymath, it's a fit-for-purpose permissioned blockchain built specifically for regulated assets. That means that unlike permissionless blockchains such as Ethereum, Polymesh is designed from the outset with KYC compliance, confidentiality, forkless on-chain governance and finality in mind.
