Hamsa

Hamsa (formerly HamsaPay) is a San Francisco-based financial infrastructure company "powering the Finternet." It builds the Hamsa Unified Confidential Ledger (UCL), a privacy-enabled, EVM-compatible, permissioned Layer-2 blockchain for banks and financial institutions, plus the Hamsa Privacy module that uses zero-knowledge-proof (ZKP) rollups on Hyperledger Besu to run confidential Delivery-versus-Payment (DvP) and Payment-versus-Payment (PvP) settlement, tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and CBDCs. The developer platform exposes an EVM-standard JSON-RPC API (eth_* methods) and DvP escrow smart contracts, authenticated with Ethereum message signatures and role-based access control. Hamsa has tokenized over $3.2B for Tier-1/Tier-2 banks (including Banco Safra's Safra Dolar stablecoin) and participates in the Brazilian Drex CBDC pilot.

Hamsa is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Financial Services, Blockchain, Payments, and Tokenization.

Hamsa’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, engineering blog, authentication, and 12 more developer resources.
