The Numun Ecosystem launches, comprising applications Num and Vectium and offering a structured approach to real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and lending on the Ethereum network.
Num, the first app of the Numun Ecosystem, is a Bermuda-based tokenization company, that specializes in tokenizing traditional finance (TradFi) assets, including ETFs, stocks, and bonds. In 2023, Num successfully closed a USD 1.5 million pre-seed funding round to work on its first MVP, emerging market stablecoins, which garnered 500,000 users within its first year. Num now aims to achieve global reach by tokenizing TradFi assets into fully backed, permissionless forms known as nTokens, bridging the gap between the TradFi and DeFi realms.
The second app in the Ecosystem is called Vectium, an innovative RWA lending protocol that harnesses the power of nTokens to facilitate financial interactions, enabling users to lend and borrow stablecoins against nTokens and soon more RWAs. This system also supports users in leveraging and hedging TradFi assets in a manner that is both permissionless and secure.
Speaking on the launch, Agustin Liserra, CEO of Num Finance, said, “Numun ignites the power of synergy between transparency and innovation. Our commitment lies in steering the course of finance towards a future where accessibility, security, and empowerment are not just ideals, but everyday realities for DeFi users. As we unveil Numun to the world, we stand on the brink of a new financial era – one that we are proud to shape and lead.”
Central to orchestrating the Numun Ecosystem is the Numun Token, which employs a unique value accrual mechanism. Up to 40% of the revenue generated by the lending protocol is allocated to a buy-back-and-burn strategy for the Numun Token. The Numun token will be used across all of the apps within the ecosystem, ensuring its value is intrinsically linked to the success of Numun as a whole.
Numun Ecosystem is partnering with Impossible Finance to bring the Numun Token to the market, Calvin Chu, Co-Founder, and Core Builder of Impossible Finance, expressed excitement about partnering with Numun and supporting their mission of bridging traditional and decentralized finances. Calvin said, “Num’s and Vectium’s approach to bringing permissionless tokenized assets is the correct way to maximize interoperability. The strategy to bring a wide coverage of financial products on-chain is definitely filling a gap in the current landscape.”
Speaking on the significance of the development for the DeFi ecosystem, Alex Kruger, Advisor and Strategic Director at Num Finance, said, “The Numun ecosystem represents the culmination of our enduring commitment to reshaping the DeFi landscape. After years of meticulous work, we are introducing an on-chain ecosystem that makes real-world assets the epicenter. This is the advancement that the DeFi space has been waiting for — a transformative step in aligning the reliability of traditional assets with the innovation of decentralized finance.”
