Today Fermion Protocol is unveiled – ‘An onchain fractional market optimized for verified physical RWAs.
Introducing Fermion Protocol: the bridge to a computable economy. Fermion is a system for incentivizing the tokenization of all verified physical RWAs into an onchain fractional market.
Based on academic research which our Founder Justin Banon conducted with blockchain economist Prof. Jason Potts, his personal mission is to enable a new computable economy and unlock exponential wealth by building the technology to bring real world assets onchain.
Boson is now product-ready and connecting to scaled distribution channels such as WooCommerce, the e-commerce market leader with 4 million stores. We will continue to drive Boson’s mass adoption into this emerging bull run.
Boson already provides the foundational infrastructure for bringing commerce RWAs onchain with low transaction costs and minimized trust. However, high-value verified physical real world assets – a trillion dollar segment of the RWA market – require more robust verification at the expense of increased cost and trust. We have therefore used our experience to create Fermion.
Fermion is a fundamentally different protocol design which leverages trusted verifiers and custodians to enable more robust verification, higher capital efficiency and longer tokenisation duration. Whilst enabling native fractionalization of tokenized assets via ERC-404.
Fermion Protocol is devised to address the key challenges of the verified physical asset market, namely fragmentation, poor price discovery and excessive extraction. Fermion also incentivizes the tokenization of verified physical assets into an onchain fractional market.
Competition does exist, but the scaling of incumbent protocols is hampered by internalized physical infrastructure and overly complex design. Conversely, Fermion’s architecture is designed to be a simple solution that provides the mechanisms for incentivised sourcing, low-friction onboarding, fractionalized trading and verified, custodial exchange of any verified physical RWA.
Having identified this trillion dollar opportunity, the options were to:
1. Do nothing. However, this would cede the market to competitors who might later challenge Boson.
- Build as part of Boson. However, this is a fundamentally different protocol design, which was never part of the thesis which the Boson community invested in.
- Build separately to Boson, without sharing value. However, this does not align with our values of enabling community members to share in the value they create.
- Build separately to Boson, whilst sharing value equally with Boson holders. This is the option we have chosen since it aligns with our core values.
Therefore, initial distribution of the Fermion token will be via a 1 to 1 stake drop to Boson token holders: stake 1 Boson token for 6 months, and get your Boson back plus a Fermion token.
As an extended community ecosystem, Boson and Fermion constitute the de facto Web3 infrastructure for the trillion dollar physical RWAs market, ranging from commerce to high-value assets.
