Parallel operation
A new ledger does not immediately retire the old one. Reconciliation, servicing and reporting may continue across both systems.
- →How long must both systems operate?
- →What is the exit criterion for the old system?
CHALLENGE 01 · RESEARCH EXPLAINER
The research describes institutions operating old and new infrastructure at the same time. Explore the decisions behind that migration.
A new ledger does not immediately retire the old one. Reconciliation, servicing and reporting may continue across both systems.
A faster migration requires engineering, testing and operational training. The constraint may be the institution’s capacity to change.
Cost savings depend on which intermediaries and workflows change, and whether duplicated work is actually removed.
A calibrated migration model needs implementation budgets, parallel-running costs and process volumes. This research alone does not supply those inputs.
Research basis: “RWA Tokenization Market Hurdles,” the research report reproduced on the overview page. This lab translates its qualitative themes into teaching scenarios; it does not treat the report’s market statistics or case-study claims as verified model coefficients. The operational chapter is split into liquidity and data freshness; regulation and expertise are combined in one explainer so all six research themes remain covered.
