"The ASX CHESS (Clearing House Electronic Subregister System) has been operating for around 25 years and manages the settlement of share transactions and records shareholdings across the roughly $3.19 billion of daily trading volume it handles.

The company had planned for the blockchain revamp to give both issuers and end investors “greater control over, and enhanced confidence in” the exchange’s market activities, providing improved access to the register of holders for those issuing securities.

An independent audit by consultancy Accenture revealed a myriad of issues impacting the project, including latency and technical constraints surrounding its API, as well as challenges relating to “achieving scalability, resiliency, and supportability.”
