OpenFin started working on the standard in November 2017, before contributing its work to the Symphony Software Foundation in February 2018, which became FINOS two months later.

Morgan and Morgan Stanley, contributed to the standards as well as firms that have not joined the Foundation like the BNP Paribas, Royal Bank of Canada, NatWest Markets, and others. However, it was the vendor community that put in much of the day-to-day sweat-equity, he noted. “They have an interest in not only making sure that it is suitable for customers, but they also can implement it into their strategies.” Over the next few months, the Foundation expects to turn its focus towards implementation, certification, and community building. “Given its industry-wide relevance, FINOS will need to move forward with a formal certification program where vendors can affirm that they are compliant with the standard,” said Columbro. “We want to make sure that this does not become a quasi-standard.” At least five vendors and five financial institutions already have begun implementing and testing against the standard, according to FINOS. The subsequent versions of the standard will include feedback from the FINOS community as well as exploring alignment with other interoperability efforts in FINOS like Financial Objects and Plexus. The full FDC3 roadmap is publicly maintained by the Program at [Github](http://github.com/FDC3/FDC3/README.md).
