halborn.com/audits/temple/daml-contracts-225b21Named institutional counterparty. DTCC's release for its 15 July 2026 production tokenization event lists Temple Digital Group among the participants, alongside BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Marex, Nasdaq, NYSE, Societe Generale, State Street, Tradeweb, Vanguard and Virtu. The event included a US Treasury repo delivery-versus-payment trade in a DTC production environment.
DTCC release, 15 Jul 2026Temple states it executed the first live onchain US Treasury repo transaction using the DTCC Tokenization Service, arranged through its RFQ platform, with DRW and HIFI trading as principals and Marex as prime broker and settlement agent. DTCC's release names all four as participants in the event but does not identify the parties to that specific trade, so the composition of the trade rests on Temple's account.
templedigitalgroup.com/news, 2 Aug 2026Temple announces a partnership with BitGo Holdings, pairing BitGo Bank and Trust's regulated custody with Temple's trading infrastructure for institutional clients. I found no BitGo-published version and no named BitGo executive on the record, so this rests on Temple's release.
templedigitalgroup.com/news, 2 Aug 2026Temple announces a private round led by SBI Group, described as a long-term partnership focused on digital asset trading infrastructure. Recorded for completeness. Investment is a backer item rather than a counterparty item, and Temple already clears the backer item on the seed round.
templedigitalgroup.com/news, 2 Aug 2026YZi Labs describes Temple as the creator of Canton Network's first native trading platform. I could not independently verify "first" against other trading venues that launched around the same period, so the superlative is not treated as confirmed.

Placement, issue 02.
Scored on the published seven-item substance checklist. Every item is binary and announced claims score zero until verified. This placement is published in issue 02 and was corrected on 2 August 2026.
Published in issue 02 at 6 / 7. Corrected to 7 / 7 on 2 August 2026 after I located the DTCC participant list, which was public before I scored. Recorded as a correction to my work, not a movement in the project's. See the correction log below.
// what I could not verify
Gaps.
These are findings, not omissions. I looked and state what I found.
Named institutional counterparty. Closed 2 August 2026. DTCC names Temple Digital Group in its own participant list for the 15 July production event. Recorded here rather than deleted, because the gap was published and the record should show how it closed.
Trading volume or liquidity figures. No published TVL, volume, or open interest for the live platform.
Token intent. No public statement found on whether Temple plans any future token.
// open to the project
Sections Temple can fill.
These stay empty until the project supplies them. Anything supplied is labeled as supplied, dated, and never rendered as something I verified. Declining changes nothing else on this page.
Named counterparty, ongoing
DTCC is confirmed for the July production event. Which institutions are live and trading on the venue day to day remains open, and a counterparty naming itself on its own channel is what moves it.
Volume and liquidity
Any figures the project is comfortable sharing, with a methodology.
Token intent
Plans, if any, for a future asset. If none, saying so plainly is itself useful.

Correction log.
2 August 2026 · substance score corrected, 6 / 7 to 7 / 7. Issue 02 scored S2, named institutional counterparty, at zero and recorded that none was found. DTCC's own release for its 15 July 2026 production tokenization event names Temple Digital Group in the participant list, and that event included a Treasury repo delivery-versus-payment trade. The release was public eleven days before I scored and I did not find it. Discovered after Temple replied to a verification request pointing at three of its own press releases, none of which was the source that resolved the item. Method change from issue 03: the counterparty sweep runs against the institution's own newsroom, not only the project's.
