Powering regulated digital asset operations
IBM Digital Asset Haven is the operational backbone for financial institutions and regulated enterprises entering the digital asset economy. It provides a unified platform for secured wallet management and transaction orchestration, efficiently interacting with multiple public and private blockchains.
Its programmable policy- based governance and diverse set of developer-friendly interfaces enable efficient integration into existing banking systems and allow institutions to flexibly tailor operational workflows to their internal controls and processes.
Core capabilities
Create and integrate digital asset wallets to support multichain trading, automated address creation for simple deposits, real-time transfer notifications, balance tracking and efficient fund movement through embedded compliance checks and liquidity providers.
Orchestrate and automate on-chain transactions with full policy control, routing intelligence and complete lifecycle visibility. Format and broadcast transactions across multiple blockchains with automatic retries, queuing and failure recovery. Supports travel-rule data, fee optimization, conditional transaction flows and more—all through a single API.
Define, manage and enforce granular user roles, permissions, access controls, transaction policies and last-mile validations across multiple blockchains. Ensure full compliance and security across all digital asset operations.
Manage keys through a combination of IBM multiparty computation (MPC) and hardware security modules (HSMs). Leverage the IBM offline signing orchestrator (OSO) for secure, compliant and timer-based cold storage transactions. Built with full technical assurance and layered protection to secure digital assets operations holistically.
Benefit from a large set of preintegrated third-party capabilities that can be activated immediately, with additional integrations easily implemented through developer-friendly REST APIs, SDKs and tools. Integrate efficiently with existing core banking systems, wealth management platforms and payment solutions.

Deployment Model
IBM Digital Asset Haven supports three deployment models. Each model uses a different operational approach and key management strategy. The selected model determines where signing keys reside, how transactions are authorized, and how operational availability is balanced with key custody requirements.
Fully managed
In the IBM Digital Asset Haven SaaS deployment model, IBM hosts and operates the entire platform, including the API, user interface, orchestration services, and key management infrastructure. This deployment model reduces onboarding effort and minimizes operational management requirements for the customer. The model is well suited for operational wallets, high-frequency settlement workloads, and programmatic transaction flows.
Partial Client Control
In the IBM Digital Asset Haven Hybrid deployment model, the customer manages the signing and authorization infrastructure, typically within a customer-controlled environment or on premises. IBM provides the platform and orchestration services, while key custody remains under the customer’s control through hardware security modules (HSMs). This deployment model is intended for organizations that require customer-managed key custody, use dedicated HSM infrastructure, or must meet specific regulatory requirements.
Fully Client Controlled
The IBM Digital Asset Haven (Fully On-Prem) model provides a complete digital asset custody and management platform deployed entirely within a customer’s LinuxONE environment. The solution enables organizations to securely create, manage, and transact with digital assets while maintaining full control over their infrastructure and data. This deployment model is built for organization that require full sovereignty over keys, data and operation in a secured environment while helping increase performance, speed and scale for digital asset operation.
