One Pager

The future of the blockchain is in providing efficiency savings at scale for international trade in high value real world goods. Founded in 2017 by Ethereum launch co-ordinator Vinay Gupta, Mattereum makes this possible through the tokenization, fractionalization and safe sale of high value real world assets. This will enable frictionless and limitless trade in high value real world assets that is easy, transparent and safe, making it just one world through the blockchain.

Mattereum is:

  • Multi-Chain
  • High Value Asset Orientated
  • Cross-Border

Mattereum works for:

  • Everyone - Mattereum makes it easy for everyone to buy and sell high value assets; it’s done at the click of a button using the blockchain. The fractionalization of physical real world assets enabled by Mattereum’s system also means that anyone can own part of a gold bar, a Picasso or a country estate, and allows DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) to be set up to manage such assets.
  • Everything - Mattereum aren’t limited to a single asset class or sector. Currently, the company is concentrating on high value assets where their innovations are likely to have the most immediate impact, such as gold, real estate and fine art. There is $150bn in savings to be made by streamlining real estate transactions using the blockchain, and a further $250bn through the use of electronic documents for international trade, plus there’s a $16bn market for tokenized securities. Reaping the benefits of all of this is not going to be possible without Mattereum’s system as nothing else provides a means of securely linking the blockchain token to the physical asset it represents.
  • Everywhere - Customers’ tokenized / fractionalized real world assets are backed by the Mattereum asset passport protocol that provides a legal safety layer for transactions. This works in 170 countries worldwide using the UK’s Digital Dispute Resolution Rules and the 1958 New York Convention on Arbitration.

Tokens

Mattereum GmbH, the company’s German subsidiary, launched a Mattereum discount token (MATR) for sale in eligible jurisdictions* on 30 January 2024. Each token entitles purchasers to a 1% discount on the fees when onboarding any asset to the Mattereum system or providing a warranty**. Particularly for high value assets such as real estate or gold, the use of tokens will give a substantial discount on the cost of using Mattereum. As a result, we believe they will be highly sought after.

  • MATR Launch Post – Gives the background and context to the launch of the Mattereum GmbH discount token and outlines its considerable potential for future utility.
  • MATR Token White Paper – The white paper setting out the details of the token, including the tokenomics. This is not directly accessible from the UK or US.

*Please note that dealing in crypto tokens is highly speculative and your capital is at risk. The Mattereum Discount Token is not available in all jurisdictions, and in particular is unavailable to residents of the United States of America and the United Kingdom. The sale of the Mattereum Discount Token is subject to terms and conditions, and you should check your eligibility to purchase and use crypto tokens, including any regulatory requirements in your jurisdiction, before you buy.

**To a maximum of 50% discount with the value of the discount capped at $10,000 per transaction. For example, if an asset worth $1,000,000 is being onboarded and the fees are set at $10,000 one token will give a $100 discount. Up to 50 tokens could be used against this transaction to give a maximum $5000 discount.
