Fermion Protocol Launches Mainnet with $1M D&G Glass Suit as Genesis Asset

High-value physical asset exchange for the future economy has arrived.

Fermion Protocol is thrilled to announce the launch of its mainnet. This milestone deployment enables the fractional tokenization and verified exchange of all high-value physical assets. Fermion leverages Boson’s core tokenization layer and together they form core pillars of the Boson Metasystem- enabling the decentralized exchange of any thing, for humans and AI

To mark this historic occasion, the Glass Suit from Dolce&Gabbana’s Collezione Genesi was selected to serve as Fermion’s genesis asset. First unveiled in Venice in 2021 and sold for ~$1m, this piece of fashion history is a phygital masterwork comprising a physical suit and digital NFT. The physical suit features 72 distinct hand-embroidered chalices crafted from Murano glass and Swarovski crystal, embodying both Venetian glassmaking heritage and the celebratory archetype of D&G.

For Dolce&Gabbana, fashion has always been a merging of worlds that are very distant from each other, and new technology has inspired the vision of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana from the very beginning… Dolce&Gabbana is thrilled to be able to extend this idea at the basis of its history beyond the boundaries of physical reality: when technology is at the service of people and their dreams, it becomes an even more powerful tool.

The fractionalization of this iconic piece demonstrates Fermion’s capabilities as foundational decentralized infrastructure for high-value physical assets, beginning with high-value commerce and expanding to real estate and commodities markets.

What’s Live Today

Fermion Protocol v1.0 full mainnet deployment is Live on Ethereum and Base!

This includes:

Verified custodial exchange mechanism for high-value physical assets
Native fractionalization capabilities
Genesis asset: The D&G Glass Suit fractions can be seen here.

Core Infrastructure for High-Value RWAs

Bringing high-value physical assets onchain requires a fundamentally different protocol design from standard commerce assets. While the e-commerce exchange model works well for most transactions, you wouldn’t send a gold bar through the post. Such high-value physical RWAs require more robust verification.

For such high-value transactions, Fermion implements a version of the verified custodial exchange mechanism, long used in the financial sector to exchange physical assets such as stock and bond certificates. The exchange is deemed complete when trusted verifiers and custodians have secured the physical asset. This enables:

Immediate capital release upon verification
Enhanced security for high-value assets
Long-term tokenization duration

Key features & benefits of the protocol

The Boson Metasystem

Boson and Fermion are the founding protocols of the Boson Metasystem, together forming Web3’s open infrastructure for tokenizing and exchanging any physical real-world asset.

Boson Protocol: Web3’s Decentralized Commerce Layer

Boson Protocol was originally envisioned as Web3’s decentralized commerce layer, enabling fair exchange in commerce without extractionary intermediaries like Amazon. Having successfully built Boson Protocol, this vision has expanded to support the decentralized exchange of anything.

Boson consists of two core components:

Boson Core Tokenization Layer – The base layer for tokenizing all physical assets.
Boson Exchange Protocol – The mechanism for executing decentralized exchanges.

Fermion Protocol: Extending Exchange to High-Value Assets

For exchanging high-value assets, Fermion Protocol was developed as a separate protocol with its own token. Built on the Boson Core Tokenization Layer, Fermion extends the Boson Metasystem to support the verified exchange of high-value assets.

How They Work Together

Separate Tokens – Boson and Fermion each have distinct tokens.
Overlapping Communities – A connected ecosystem of token-holders, users and developers.
Integrated Technologies – Fermion builds on Boson’s tokenization layer while enabling a higher level of verification.

Together, Boson and Fermion provide the infrastructure to tokenize and exchange any physical real-world asset in a decentralized and trust-minimized way.

Technical Implementation & Next Steps

Fermion Protocol’s Mainnet is now live on Ethereum and Base, marking a crucial milestone in our 2025 roadmap.

The protocol deployment enables immediate capabilities for:

Fractional tokenization of high value physical assets
Secure custody and verification mechanisms
Integration with existing DeFi infrastructure

Building the Future of Physical Asset Exchange

Our vision is to enable a new, computable economy where all physical assets can be brought onchain with the same strong commitments as native digital assets.

For builders and enterprises looking to tokenize, fractionalize and exchange high-value physical assets securely, Fermion Protocol is now ready to serve as your foundational infrastructure.

Starting with luxury assets and expanding to real estate and commodities, Fermion Protocol is laying the groundwork for bringing trillions of dollars of physical world value onchain.
