!The Challenge

Token projects launching across multiple chains needed a unified vesting and distribution platform that could handle complex schedules with cliff periods, linear unlocks, and milestone-based releases.

Our Solution

We engineered Ferrum Network's flagship vesting platform supporting 8+ chains via LayerZero cross-chain messaging. The system handles complex vesting schedules including cliffs, linear vesting, milestone triggers, and revocable grants.

Key Features

8+ EVM chain support via LayerZero messaging
Complex vesting: cliff, linear, milestone-based schedules
Plasma Staking reflection model (1/3 FRM locked)
Revocable grants with admin controls
Unified multi-chain dashboard
DAO governance integration for protocol decisions

Results & Impact

1Deployed across 8+ EVM-compatible blockchains
2Complex vesting schedules serving multiple token projects
3Cross-chain token distribution via LayerZero
41/3 of FRM supply locked via Plasma Staking

Overview

Ferrum Crucible is Ferrum Network's flagship DeFi platform featuring advanced multi-chain minting, staking, and the innovative Plasma Staking reflection model that locks 1/3 of FRM supply.
