“There’s a way to do it better — find it.” — Thomas Edison
Innovation often comes from the force of transformation and destruction. Without a doubt, the rate of innovation in DeFi is exponential. Layer 2 solutions, AMMs, synthetics, aggregators, flash loans, etc. You name it. But why are real assets not part of this revolutionary paradigm shift?
Two years ago, the buzz surrounding security tokens started. The concept is great — fractionalising real assets democratises access to investment. However, the lack of secondary market liquidity has penalized and stunted its innovation. On the other hand, utility tokens are becoming more and more liquid with the emergence of decentralised AMM infrastructures which are highly composible across the open universe of DeFi legos. Given this, the convergence of both worlds make sense. How can a system / protocol harness the benefits of both security tokens (exposure to real world assets) and AMMs (permissionless access and liquidity provisions)?
Imagine a world where you can swap BNB with Binance’s equity and FLOW with Dapper Lab’s equity. If we extend beyond the crypto ecosystem, what about DOGE with Space X’s shares? Total value locked in DeFi is still a drop in the ocean compared to its ‘real world’ traditional financial counterpart; sooner or later crypto enthusiasts will be longing for real world exposure, from the case of stocks (where our fellow friend FTX is the pioneer), indexes (synthetics) to unicorn companies, or even private equity funds and real estate assets. We are often locked into the mentality that IPOs on NASDAQ / NYSE will unlock liquidity of the rare unicorn companies…but what if a protocol can generate liquidity, create access, enable price discovery prior to traditional listings? As crypto pioneers we have to think steps ahead. Now is the time to lead innovation of the traditional financial market and create the new world of finance, not to be dragged down by legacy and dogma.
To navigate and traverse this new world we will need gates, boats, roads, railways and bridges. Recognising this, Convergence Protocol is a bridge to converge this new world, allowing institutional and retail investors to travel seamlessly between permissioned real world asset exposures and permissionless crypto and utility token DeFi positions.
We are essentially creating bridges for ANY Utility Tokens (UTs) <> Wrapped Security Tokens (WSTs). The protocol design architecture consists of two components:
Our vision obviously is not just limited to providing organic liquidity to real assets. Alongside our ecosystem partners (more on that soon!) we want to bring real assets into every fold of the DeFi supply / service chain — for example, borrowing and lending protocols (WSTs as collateral for borrowing USDT), and decentralized stablecoins (WSTs as reserve assets), to name a few.
