The DAMA 2 litepaper is a blueprint for compliant, scalable open finance: tokenized funds, RWAs, and stablecoins, built to move across ecosystems without silos.

@axelar, @deutschebank + @Memento_Bc are building infrastructure for what’s next in global finance.

While digging through some recent ecosystem developments, I came across something that really stood out, even to me as someone working closely on interoperability.

Deutsche Bank has just featured the DAMA 2 litepaper on their homepage, a collaborative effort between @Memento_Bc, @axelar, and DB itself.

It’s a major institutional blueprint focused on tokenizing funds, RWAs, and stablecoins in a compliant, scalable way.

From a research perspective, what’s fascinating is how deeply Axelar’s infrastructure is woven into the architecture.

This isn’t just a logo inclusion, Axelar (via Interop Labs) is a core contributor to the design.

➤ The model leverages zkSync for privacy, Ethereum mainnet for base security, and Axelar to connect it all across 70+ chains.

➤ It’s built as a modular, compliant-ready stack for asset issuance, tailored for real-world institutions.

➤ Axelar’s GMP and Interchain Token Service enable assets to move and interact across ecosystems without fragmenting liquidity.

Seeing this live on Deutsche Bank’s site is a strong signal, not just for what’s coming in institutional finance, but for the role Axelar is playing behind the scenes to make it possible.
