Fermion Protocol Launches with Luxury Digital Asset

Fermion Protocol, a real world asset (RWA) application built on the Ethereum layer-2 network Base, is launching its services by fractionalizing a Dolce & Gabbana digital suit purchased for $1 million.

The Glass Suit, part of the Italian fashion brand’s Collezione Genesi, was won in an auction by Boson Protocol in 2021. The auction included both the physical suit—crafted by the fashion house over eight months—and a tokenized digital rendition as an Ethereum NFT. Justin Banon, the founder of Boson Protocol, is also the creator of Fermion.

Fermion aims to fractionalize and tokenize physical, real world assets, beginning with luxury goods.

The Road Ahead: Fermion’s 2025 Vision 🚀

Fermion’s roadmap for 2025 includes:
– ✅ Mainnet launch and multi-chain expansion – initiating on @Base, and then extending to Ethereum, Polygon, and more.
– ✅ Development of a Physical RWA Tokenization kit.
– ✅ Partnerships with global luxury brands.

Fractionalization involves dividing a digital asset into shares, allowing broader ownership among collectors.

Banon stated, “With 2% of customers now driving 45% of luxury sales, there’s a clear need to rebuild broader connections with luxury audiences. As luxury consumers report a declining feeling of exclusivity, fractionalization presents a new model for elevated luxury consumption, ensuring instant verification of vintage pieces’ provenance on decentralized networks.”

To celebrate its launch, Fermion Protocol is airdropping fragments of the Glass Suit through various activations targeting the Fermion, Boson, and Web3 fashion communities. This will involve a decentralized AI commerce agent representing the suit.

Currently, the physical Glass Suit is held by Dolce & Gabbana at its Alta Moda atelier in Milan, Italy.

Boson Protocol supplies decentralized infrastructure for real-world asset tokenization. Its Ethereum-based token, BOSON, has recently dropped nearly 10% to $0.155, which is over 97% below its 2021 all-time high of $5.36.

Fermion Protocol is projected to launch its own token in Q3 2025, according to its website.
