Ecosystem & Partners
Exchanges, custody providers, regulators, and ecosystem builders.
Catena does not work alone.
To build safe AI native finance, Catena works with many trusted partners across the financial and technology ecosystem.
Each partner plays a different role in making agent commerce secure, legal, and scalable.
What exchanges are
Exchanges are platforms where digital assets can be bought, sold, and converted.
They help move value between different forms of money.
Why exchanges matter to Catena
Exchanges help:
- Convert funds when needed
- Support liquidity
- Enable smooth money movement
This makes it easier for agents and businesses to operate globally.
How Catena works with exchanges
Catena integrates with trusted exchanges to:
- Move funds in and out safely
- Follow compliance rules
- Keep records clear
Agents never act alone everything is controlled.
What custody means
Custody is about who securely holds the money. This is critical for safety.
Why custody providers matter
Custody providers:
- Secure funds
- Protect against loss or theft
- Ensure proper control and access
AI agents should never directly hold unlimited funds.
How Catena uses custody providers
Catena works with custody partners to:
- Hold funds securely
- Grant agents limited, rule based access
- Allow humans to pause or revoke access anytime
This keeps money safe while agents operate.
Who regulators are
Regulators are public authorities that ensure financial systems follow the law.
They protect:
- Users
- Markets
- Trust
Why regulators matter
Without regulatory trust:
- Businesses cannot adopt the system
- Markets cannot scale
- Risk increases
How Catena works with regulators
Catena:
- Builds compliance into the system
- Keeps clear records and audit trails
- Designs systems regulators can understand and approve
This makes agent finance acceptable in the real world.
Who ecosystem builders are
Ecosystem builders are developers, startups, platforms, and infrastructure teams.
They build products on top of Catena.
Why they matter
Catena is infrastructure. Its value grows as more builders use it.
How Catena supports ecosystem builders
Catena provides:
- Clear APIs and SDKs
- Standard tools
- Safe financial foundations
Builders can focus on innovation, not financial complexity.
- Exchanges help move and convert value
- Custody providers keep funds safe
- Regulators ensure legality and trust
- Ecosystem builders create real products
Catena connects all of them into one system.
Catena’s ecosystem brings together exchanges, custody providers, regulators, and builders to create a trusted foundation for AI agents to safely participate in the global economy.
