Tassat Group, Inc. announced on Tuesday that it has secured a U.S. patent for its on-chain Yield-in-Transit (YIT) technology, marking an advancement in programmable interest-bearing settlement infrastructure.

The patent is part of Tassat’s mission to modernize financial transaction systems for regulated institutions and supports the company’s role in allowing Lynq to deliver end-to-end integrated interest-bearing settlement at scale.

Developed in collaboration with Arca Labs and tZERO Group and launched in July 2025 with the backing of U.S. Bank, Avalanche, B2C2, Crypto.com, Fireblocks, Galaxy, FalconX, and Wintermute, Lynq allows digital asset institutions to accrue and receive on-chain interest continuously throughout settlement, collateral, and reserve processes.

Yield-in-Transit: Intraday Interest Without Friction

Tassat’s patented YIT technology covers the intraday accrual and distribution of on-chain interest, addressing a longstanding challenge in high-velocity settlement environments.

By allowing interest distribution proportionate to the time assets are held, the YIT model removes the ambiguity, manual reconciliation, and economic inefficiency typically associated with 24/7, cross-platform settlement.

“The award of this key patent validates Tassat’s continued innovation in tokenization and real-time programmable settlement platforms,” said Glen Sussman, Chief Executive Officer of Tassat.

“Yield-in-Transit has the potential to transform how digital asset institutions such as market makers, exchanges, custodians, and stablecoin issuers think about on-chain capital efficiency,” Sussman added.

Driving Capital Productivity in a 24/7 Financial Landscape

YIT will make sure that liquidity is never idle. The technology keeps capital productive throughout the settlement process—positioning on-chain assets to continuously generate returns in ways traditional systems cannot without batch-based cycles, cutoffs, or multi-day delays.

“This IP embodies our commitment to building next-generation blockchain solutions that meet the real-time needs of leading digital asset firms,” added Andre Frank, Chief Operating Officer of Tassat. “It opens the door to YIT-enabled features, including collateral pledging, delivery vs. payment, and stablecoin reserve management.”

Real-World Deployment Through Lynq

The real-time impact of Yield-in-Transit is already being demonstrated within Lynq’s institutional network.

“Through the incorporation of Yield-in-Transit into Lynq, our users are able to accrue on-chain intraday interest and receive distributions the same day,” said Jerald David, Chief Executive Officer at Lynq. “Tassat and Lynq are redefining how institutions optimize settlement, collateral, and liquidity operations.”

When someone creates a US patent, they go through a review process to stop the most blatant copies from previous patents or pre-existing work. After this, you may still have bad patents get through, which can be removed through litigation or publicly accessible methods such as Inter Partes Review (IPR). The latter of which is planned to be changed as we know it in the near future.

IPR is a method where an individual can claim that an existing patent is invalid due to pre-existing work, such as something the individual should have creative ownership over. While there is always the litigation method of removing blatantly fraudulent patents, a small business or the average person is unlikely to have the funds.

New regulations are changing how IPRs can be filed in some substantial ways. Now, if someone files an IPR, they give up the right to future litigation on their rights over a patent. This is obviously not ideal for someone who may have their own products on the line if an IPR is to fail. Additionally, IPRs will no longer be able to be even tried if there are existing cases against the patent, even under poor previous cases. While this change is meant to increase the efficiency of the patent office, there are some serious consequences that must be looked into either way. The patent office also cites IPRs being beneficial to larger organizations rather than the smaller businesses, though you can make your own conclusions based on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s arguments here.

Hackaday certainly can not give any legal advice on how this change will affect you, but there are cases given by both sides that may persuade you to write to your legal representatives if you live in the States. Even still, we here at Hackaday have seen our fair share of patent trolls causing issues.
