Imagine owning a piece of a classic car like a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 for a fraction of the cost and easily selling it whenever you want. This is the future envisioned by CurioInvest, an RWA (Real-World Asset) tokenization platform, as it integrates with The Open Network (TON) blockchain.
Breaking Down Barriers in Real-World Asset Ownership
Traditionally, owning luxury assets like classic cars has been limited to high-net-worth individuals due to the high cost of entry. However, RWA tokenization allows these assets to be divided into smaller, tradable digital tokens, making them accessible to a wider range of investors.
One of the biggest challenges hindering the growth of RWA tokenization is the lack of interoperability between different blockchains. CurioInvest aims to address this by integrating with diverse blockchains like TON, fostering a more connected and efficient ecosystem.
CurioInvest & TON: A Progressive Partnership
The integration with TON is a multi-phased approach. Curio has already launched a closed beta TON restaking program and a Substrate-based testnet that will serve as a layer-2 solution for the TON network. This layer-2 features staking functionalities built on a delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism.
Furthermore, Curio is developing an adapter that will allow users to convert different liquid TON tokens into stTON, the staking token on the Substrate network. This paves the way for a future upgrade to a liquid DPoS system with the introduction of the tTON token. Additionally, a dedicated liquid staking protocol is under development for the TON network.
Capital DEX: Expanding Reach with Telegram Integration
CurioInvest boasts a comprehensive ecosystem, including Capital DEX, a multichain AMM (Automated Market Maker) platform. Capital DEX will be deployed on the TON network, enabling users to swap and bridge integrated tokens. It will also feature farming pools and staking opportunities, offering users multiple ways to earn rewards.
To further expand its reach, Capital DEX will be integrated as a mini-app within Telegram’s Mini Apps platform. This grants access to Telegram’s massive user base of over 900 million, potentially revolutionizing DeFi accessibility.
Beyond TON: A Vision for Advanced Interoperability
Since its inception, CurioInvest has successfully tokenized a wide range of assets, from bonds to physical cars and wines. This commitment to innovation extends beyond TON integration. CurioInvest also offers solutions for central banks, connecting traditional finance with the DeFi world.
Their Polkadot-based blockchain, Curio Chain, is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), allowing seamless cross-chain transfers between Polkadot and Ethereum ecosystems. They plan to further enhance interoperability by enabling EVM-compatible tools for DEX and staking functionalities.
Democratizing Investments Through Blockchain
CurioInvest’s ultimate goal is to create a future where investment opportunities are accessible to everyone. They leverage the power of blockchain technology to bring transparency, liquidity, and inclusivity to the financial ecosystem.
“At CurioInvest, we envision a future where investment opportunities are democratized and accessible to all,” said Curio CEO Rey Fernando Verboonen. “Our recent developments in integrating TON and offering solutions for central banks exemplify our commitment to innovation and financial stability.”
CurioInvest’s expansion into the TON blockchain opens doors for broader adoption of RWA tokenization and paves the way for a more interconnected and accessible financial future.
