Reduced counterparty risk through smart settlement
Secure, policy-based transaction workflows via Fireblocks
Seamless integration across centralized and decentralized exchanges
Challenge
Since 2023, Nonco has been working with Fireblocks to automate and secure their crypto treasury operations, reduce counterparty risk, and scale efficiently through policy-based workflows. One piece of the puzzle that helped pull this all together was AWS Nitro.
As a global trading firm serving ETFs, asset managers, and institutional clients, Nonco required infrastructure that was not only secure and programmable, but also easy to deploy, globally resilient, and able to support rapid iteration.
Solution
Fireblocks and AWS Nitro gave Nonco the control of a purpose-built digital asset platform with the performance of enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure.
- Fireblocks enabled programmable policy enforcement, secure vault structures, and smart settlement workflows.
- AWS Nitro co-signer delivered the deployment flexibility, uptime guarantees, and global reach needed to power 24/7 operations.
By running Fireblocks with AWS Nitro, Nonco’s engineering team was able to deploy faster, operate with lower latency, and build crypto-native processes into a broader cloud architecture using AWS-native services.
Fireblocks and AWS, combined, provided us with seamless integration, was easy to set up and ready to use. Fireblocks documentation and support made the process run smoothly and being able to sync multiple workspaces with a single Co-signer instance makes it even easier for us to manage.
Results
- Smart settlement functionality reduced bilateral counterparty risk
- Rapid onboarding of new counterparties and vaults using API-first design
- Improved resilience, uptime, and latency—especially in core financial markets like the Americas
- Easier compliance and infrastructure management through AWS-native monitoring and tooling
