Cardano Developers Simplify Integration with SAP Business Platform

Cardano developers have introduced ODATANO, a new tool aimed at streamlining integration between SAP and the Cardano blockchain. This move could bring significant benefits to enterprise users of SAP's business software platform.

SAP is widely used by large companies for managing core business processes such as finance, accounting, supply chain, human resources, production, and customer management. To integrate with Cardano, developers would traditionally need to learn about blockchain concepts like the UTxO model, transaction creation, CBOR serialization, transaction fee calculation, collateral mechanisms, and key management.

ODATANO abstracts away these complexities by providing a standard OData V4 API layer, allowing enterprise developers familiar with SAP's development environment to integrate Cardano without needing to learn about blockchain technology. The tool currently offers 31 different entities and functions, including data reading, transaction creation, and signing.

Several reference applications have been developed using the ODATANO infrastructure, including TRACE, QUANTIX, FINCA, and x402. QUANTIX stands out as a B2B raw material procurement and payment application utilizing oracle data, and it won the 2026 Charli3 Oracle Hackathon.
