Cardano’s developer portal has published an interview with ODATANO founder Maximilian, outlining a tool designed for SAP enterprise environments. ODATANO packages the Cardano blockchain as a standard OData V4 API, allowing enterprise developers familiar with SAP’s development stack to integrate blockchain functions without working directly with lower-level Cardano mechanics.
According to Maximilian, SAP developers typically need to understand the UTxO model, transaction building, CBOR serialization, fee calculation, collateral handling, and key management before linking business processes to Cardano. ODATANO moves those tasks into a service layer, so Cardano can be consumed inside SAP applications as a standard OData service.
The project currently exposes 31 entities and supports data retrieval, transaction building, and signing. It can query blocks, addresses, UTxOs, assets, and protocol parameters, and it also supports building, signing, and submitting transactions. ODATANO can run either as an SAP CAP plugin or as a standalone deployment. Maximilian also highlighted reference applications built on top of the tool, including TRACE, QUANTIX, FINCA, and x402. The Cardano developer portal said ODATANO received funding through Cardano Catalyst Fund 14. The project is being developed by Maximilian alone, with 1,285 automated tests completed and statement coverage at 99%.
BlockBeats reported on Sept. 10 that the Cardano developer portal published an interview with Maximilian, the founder of ODATANO. The project is positioned as a Cardano integration tool for SAP enterprise environments.
ODATANO packages the Cardano blockchain as a standard OData V4 API. The stated aim is to let enterprise developers who already work within SAP’s development framework integrate Cardano without having to master the blockchain’s lower-level architecture first.
Maximilian said a traditional SAP developer who wants to connect business processes to Cardano would usually need to learn the UTxO model, transaction construction, CBOR serialization, fee calculation, collateral, and key management. ODATANO places those more complex blockchain operations inside a service layer instead. That allows Cardano to be connected to SAP applications as a standard OData service.
The project currently provides 31 entities and includes functions for data retrieval, transaction building, and signing. It can query blocks, addresses, UTxOs, assets, and protocol parameters. It also supports building, signing, and submitting transactions.
ODATANO can run as an SAP Cloud Application Programming Model, or SAP CAP, plugin. It can also be deployed on a standalone basis.
Maximilian also introduced several reference applications built on ODATANO, including TRACE, QUANTIX, FINCA, and x402. Among them, QUANTIX is described as an oracle-based B2B raw materials procurement and settlement application. It won first place at the 2026 Charli3 Oracle hackathon.
According to the Cardano developer portal, ODATANO received funding through Cardano Catalyst Fund 14. The project is currently being developed by Maximilian alone. It has completed 1,285 automated tests, and its statement coverage has reached 99%.
