A Note from Fusion’s Head of Product Strategy, John Liu.
‘Over the past few months, I have been engaged with companies across different industries, exploring how Fusion can improve their specific workflows. When you think about it, just about all financial transactions involve an element of time. The time component is generally set out in the terms of a paper contract and often involves middle-men that benefit from asymmetries of information. Powered by create asset, time-lock and quantum swap, we can build out a large set of cross-industry financial use-cases on the Fusion protocol that not only make the transaction process more efficient and transparent, but also create new opportunities for value exchange that previously weren’t possible. Anything from asset rentals, debt instruments, entertainment licensing and more!’
Check out the ‘5 Use-Cases for a Time-Based Transaction Ledger’ video below to get a deeper understanding of the ideas we are exploring on the product side at Fusion.’
