- CAP Node.js/TypeScript architecture as the backbone for all OData services
- Strict CDS entity modelling for blockchain objects (Transactions, UTxOs, Addresses, Assets, Metadata)
- SAP-ready OData V4 endpoints designed for S/4HANA, RAP, ABAP consumers and external interfaces — covering both read and write operations
- Full transaction lifecycle support: on-chain data retrieval, transaction building, external and HSM-based signing, and submission — all via typed OData V4 actions
- Blockchain data providers integrated through a modular adapter layer (Blockfrost, Koios)
- Plutus V3 smart contract interaction through schema-driven, typed contract call definitions
- Deterministic, schema-driven data contracts as the single source of truth across ingestion, normalization, signing and OData exposure
- Layered architecture with clean separation between data ingestion, transaction building, signing workflows and OData service layer
- Enterprise security patterns: HSM integration, external signing delegation, request coalescing and audit-safe key handling
ODATANO establishes a unified integration layer that enables SAP systems to:
On-Chain Data Access
- Retrieve on-chain data (transactions, UTxOs, addresses, assets, metadata) in a consistent, typed, and SAP-native format
- Query blockchain state through standard OData V4 semantics — no custom REST clients or proprietary SDKs required
- Use blockchain information directly in ERP processes: logistics, finance, supply chain, ESG reporting and automation
Transaction Building & Signing
- Build and sign Cardano transactions deterministically from within SAP processes via OData V4 actions
- Support external and HSM-based signing workflows for enterprise-grade key management
- Execute on-chain operations (ADA transfers, token transactions, smart contract interactions) triggered by SAP business events
- Leverage Plutus V3 smart contract interactions through a typed, schema-driven contract layer
Traceability & Record Anchoring (TRACE)
- Anchor business records, process steps and document hashes immutably on-chain
- Enable tamper-proof audit trails for compliance, ESG and supply chain traceability use cases
- Integrate on-chain proof-of-existence directly into SAP document and workflow processes
Monitoring & Verification (ODATANO-WATCH)
- Monitor submitted transactions deterministically and feed confirmation status back into SAP
- Verify blockchain-backed business transactions against expected on-chain state
- Close the loop between SAP process execution and on-chain finality
Privacy-Preserving Operations (NIGHTGATE)
- Execute confidential transactions on the Midnight privacy chain from SAP environments
- Access privacy-sensitive business data through a dedicated OData V4 layer with zero-knowledge guarantees
- Extend enterprise integration patterns into the privacy domain without custom tooling
Enterprise Governance & Compliance
- Build custom SAP applications on top of Cardano data using standard OData semantics
- Align all blockchain interactions with enterprise governance, auditability and compliance requirements
- Provide schema-driven data contracts as the single source of truth across all integration layers
The individual components of the organization each address a distinct integration challenge. Together they form a coherent stack:
- ODATANO handles the core data and transaction layer — read, build, sign, submit
- ODATANO-WATCH closes the feedback loop — monitoring, verification and confirmation back into SAP
- TRACE anchors enterprise records on-chain — tamper-proof, auditable, compliance-ready
- NIGHTGATE extends the stack into the privacy domain — confidential operations on the Midnight chain
- odatano.dev provides the public documentation and project surface
As the platform matures, the focus expands toward:
- End-to-end orchestration of multi-step blockchain operations within SAP workflows
- Tokenized asset management and on-chain settlement triggered by ERP events
- Automated, rule-driven payment flows based on SAP business logic
- ESG data anchoring and traceability across supply chain processes
- Confidential business process integration via Midnight, enabling privacy-preserving on-chain operations for sensitive enterprise data
- Broader Cardano ecosystem integrations exposed as SAP-consumable services
🔷 ODATANO Core OData Service (CAP)
The main repository. Connects SAP systems to the Cardano blockchain via a CAP-based OData V4 API, enabling secure on-chain data access and blockchain transaction execution. Built with SAP CAP and Cardano SDKs, it provides a unified integration layer that brings Cardano into SAP processes with full enterprise-grade security and auditability.
🌑 NIGHTGATE Privacy Layer (Midnight)
Connects SAP systems to the Midnight privacy chain via a CAP-based OData V4 API, enabling confidential on-chain data access and privacy-preserving transaction execution. NIGHTGATE extends ODATANO's architecture into the privacy domain, acting as the gateway between SAP enterprise processes and Midnight's zero-knowledge infrastructure.
👁 ODATANO-WATCH Monitoring & Verification
Provides deterministic monitoring and verification of blockchain-backed business transactions for enterprise systems. ODATANO-WATCH enables SAP environments to track, audit and validate the lifecycle of on-chain operations initiated through ODATANO — closing the loop between transaction submission and enterprise-grade confirmation.
🔗 TRACE Trusted Records Anchored on Chain for Enterprise
Example Application: A dedicated module for anchoring business records on-chain in a tamper-proof, auditable manner. TRACE provides the foundation for traceability, compliance and ESG reporting use cases, where enterprises need verifiable, immutable proof of process steps stored on the Cardano blockchain.
🌐 odatano.dev Official Website
The official landing page and documentation site for the ODATANO project, built with Astro. Serves as the public-facing entry point to the ecosystem, providing project context, architecture overviews, milestone updates and integration documentation at odatano.dev.
ODATANO is built with a strong focus on reliability, transparency and enterprise applicability. Demonstrating how Cardano & Midnight can be cleanly integrated into real SAP landscapes.
