What Is Sologenic (SOLO)?
Sologenic (SOLO)is an ecosystem that aims to facilitate the process of a low-cost, on-demand, and secure tokenization of non-blockchain assets on the XRP Ledger. Tokenization involves the creation of digital tokens on a distributed ledger or blockchain, which represent either physical or digital assets. The tokenized assets are tradable against SOLO (Sologenic’s native coin) and XRP. The XRP Ledger is a cryptographic ledger that is decentralized and powered by peer-to-peer network servers. The Sologenic ecosystem seeks to bridge blockchain and other asset classes such as stocks and ETFs. The platform envisions having the key businesses of on-demand tokenization, trading non-blockchain assets, staking rewards, cryptocurrency cards, and community participation.
According to the Sologenic whitepaper, there are several challenges in the traditional asset trading industry:
Regional economic markets: The regional nature of economic markets does not support value exchange on a cross-border scale. In order to make direct investments in a foreign market, the investor must invest a particular capital amount in qualifying for direct access to certain assets or must be accredited.
Limited access to global assets: In many economies, people cannot engage in global commerce or access financial services to participate in capital markets. The major factors contributing to this outcome are financial literacy, high intermediary cost, geopolitical uncertainty, lack of trust in financial institutions, and low income levels.
No technology for cross-asset trading:The existing trading systems are limited to a specific set of assets, such as ETFs and stocks. These trading platforms lack the necessary technology for facilitating cross-asset trading. A trader cannot facilitate exchange between cryptocurrencies and other traditional financial instruments.
As a solution to the problems mentioned above, the Sologenic ecosystem aims to reduce the friction, complexity, and cost of traditional trading and transfer of assets by creating a simple, fast, and secure infrastructure.
Sologenic seeks to apply blockchain benefits and features to existing financial instruments. To achieve this, Sologenic has components such as a decentralized exchange module, a blockchain module, a tokenization module, and an order fulfillment module. These components are classified into two systems, decentralized exchange (DEX) and asset tokenization platform (ATP).Sologenic’s ATP combines various open-source and in-house developed technologies to achieve a secure, robust, and advanced architecture to ensure maximum security and uptime. The Sologenic DEX is an open-source gateway to the native decentralized exchange on the XRP Ledger. The Sologenic DEX allows customers to connect their wallets and trade their tokenized assets with other customers in real time, peer-to-peer.
The Sologenic ecosystem has two types of tokens:
SOLO Coin: SOLO is a utility token of the platform. SOLO coins act as liquidity providers and market makers and can be traded against cryptocurrencies. For SOLO holders, Sologenic aims to offer discounts on trading fees, along with the Liquidity Provider Reward Program (LPRP). In LPRP, Sologenic rewards the users for providing liquidity for transactions. Moreover, SOLO holders are eligible to obtain a free SOLO Card by the platform to spend their cryptos globally with benefits such as monthly cashback, private events, discounts on select hotels, airport lounge access, plus many more benefits. There are four tiers of cards based on how many SOLOs users have in their wallets: black plastic, black metal, black executive metal, and black prestige carbon fiber.
Tokenized Assets: These are securities stablecoins backed by traditional currencies or stocks that are only available to trade on Sologenic due to required securities brokerage licenses.
