A provider comparison
Compare supported payout routes, settlement times, fees, custody and integration requirements. Separate provider evidence from questions still to be answered.
Build partnerships around a shared business need.
We develop partnerships between blockchain companies and businesses and institutions across Asia. The work starts with understanding what both sides need, then identifying suitable partners and shaping a practical first collaboration.
Two ways to begin
Find the fit. Shape the first collaboration.
Start with a business need and a clear reason for both sides to work together. Blockchain companies can find local business partners; businesses and institutions can evaluate blockchain providers. We agree target markets and deliverables before work begins.
For Businesses & Institutions
A clear use-case brief
Clarify the business problem, current systems and provider requirements. Assess where blockchain may be useful and what evidence your team needs to make a decision.
Provider comparison and selection
Compare suitable providers against your use case, capabilities and constraints. Receive selection rationale, open questions and a focused discussion agenda.
An initial evaluation scope
Define the first technical or commercial discussion, responsibilities and next decision with the provider you choose. Implementation work is scoped separately.
For Blockchain Companies
A relevant local partner map
Identify relevant businesses and institutions in your target market. Assess their needs, capabilities and reasons to collaborate with your team.
A local collaboration proposal
Prepare a localized use-case brief, product evidence and a partner-specific discussion agenda. Scope introductions and follow-up for the selected market.
An MOU and pilot outline
Help both teams define the first collaboration, responsibilities and next steps. Introductions depend on fit and counterpart interest; agreements remain with the participating organizations.
Partnership use cases
Start with the business application.
Use these applications to frame the first brief. The workflow and the company’s requirements determine which providers and partners belong in the conversation.
Payments & Settlement
Compare payment infrastructure against a real cross-border business flow: supplier payouts, treasury transfers or settlement. Define how funds move and how the business reconciles them.
Payment provider shortlisting
Cross-border payout workflows
Treasury & settlement use cases
Pilot requirements & introductions
Content, IP & AI Data Provenance
Help content, media and AI companies record who created a work or dataset and how it may be used. Start with the rights or data workflow, then compare providers and scope a pilot.
Rights & dataset workflow mapping
Provenance provider shortlisting
Licensing & usage records
Pilot scoping & introductions
Wallets, Custody & Security
Help treasury and product teams evaluate wallet and custody providers. Start with transaction approvals, access controls and recovery needs, then scope the integration and operating responsibilities.
Custody & wallet provider shortlisting
Treasury control & recovery needs
Security review coordination
Integration & pilot requirements
Identity, Credentials & Data Verification
Help companies and institutions compare identity and credential providers for access, qualifications or provenance. Map who issues the record, who verifies it and how people use it.
Credential & identity use cases
Issuer & verifier partner mapping
Data access & trust requirements
Verification workflow scoping
Connected Machines & Data Networks
Bring manufacturers, operators and network providers together around a connected asset. Explore machine identity, shared operating records and usage-based services with a defined business owner.
Machine identity & data use cases
Manufacturer & operator mapping
Usage-based service models
Partner introductions & pilot scoping
Enterprise Data & Automation
Connect enterprise data to a workflow people can use: internal knowledge, document processing or operational reporting. Evaluate automation and selected AI providers against the data and task.
Enterprise data workflow mapping
Data & automation provider shortlisting
Selected AI use-case assessment
Demonstrations & pilot scoping
An illustrative brief: overseas supplier payouts.
An internal decision brief
Map the flow from the Korean company to the overseas supplier: funding, conversion, payout and reconciliation. Assign review questions to finance, IT and procurement.
A scoped pilot decision
Define one payout route, test volume, settlement target, fee ceiling and exception handling. Name the owners, required evidence and conditions for moving forward.
How we check fit on both sides
A real business need
A specific payment, data, content or operating problem the adopting company wants to solve.
A product ready to show
A working demonstration, with current capabilities and remaining development clearly separated.
A credible integration path
Known systems, data permissions and security requirements for the proposed integration.
People who can move it forward
A business sponsor and named technical, procurement and operating owners on both sides.
A workable commercial model
A budget on the adopting side, provider pricing and a realistic ongoing support model.
A useful first test
One limited use case, the inputs it requires and a result that justifies the next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who commissions the work, and who pays?
Either side can commission the work: a business or institution evaluating blockchain providers, or a blockchain company seeking local partners. Each engagement has one commissioning client and an agreed fee or retainer. The introduced party pays nothing and may decline. Relevant existing commercial relationships are disclosed.
What does “accountable” mean?
A written scope, a named owner, disclosure of who commissioned the work, and follow-up at each stage. It is not a guarantee of an MOU, pilot, procurement or adoption.
What is outside the scope?
Panasia develops commercial and technology partnerships. It does not take part in or advise on transactions in securities or virtual assets, does not raise capital or introduce investors, and does not give legal advice. We do not take investment, token allocation or investor-introduction requests.
What should we prepare before the first conversation?
Businesses and institutions: the use case, current systems, constraints and review team. Blockchain companies: the product, target markets, supporting evidence and partner role. Begin with a non-confidential brief. We confirm market-specific scope and candidate availability before work begins; information is shared only with consent.
Bring the business objective. We find the fit and carry the follow-up.
