The use of distributed ledger technology (DLT) to establish digital trust is increasing rapidly across myriad sectors. R3’s Corda is the industry-standard platform for developers who build DLT applications for highly regulated markets, including banking, trade finance and capital markets. No matter where you are on your blockchain application development journey or which version of Corda you are using, R3 is here to support your build and shorten your time to deployment.

R3's customers in regulated industries require secure and highly available services that process data with integrity to maintain confidentiality and privacy. We currently support enterprise customers through our 24x7 customer support, blockchain application firewall, Hardware Security Module (HSM) integrations and compliance with industry-wide information security standards.

We briefly touched on Project Layer Cake, the initiative that inspired us to make our APIs modular and split Corda into discrete, logical layers of value: network, flow, ledger, and contract.
