The Fortress platform will offer APIs where users can buy, sell, store, and gift NFTs and other assets in one simple to-use, secure location. Fortress will provide a variety of services, including accounts where users can receive royalties directly into Royalty Escrow Accounts. Through the platform, artists, athletes, agents and publishers all have “read only” access to the Royalty Accounts, providing full transparency and ensuring everyone who is supposed to get paid, gets paid.
BankProv will assist in providing technical and operational support utilizing its fully integrated API suite with Treasury Prime. Treasury Prime’s API layer will connect applications to BankProv’s infrastructure. This gives crypto and blockchain companies working through Treasury Prime’s API software the ability to create a payments ecosystem customized to their platform, streamlining the transaction process.
