About Ferrum Network
Ferrum Network, designed by a distributed systems expert with over ten years experience at the world’s biggest tech companies, was built to address two fundamental problems impeding the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies: slow transaction speeds and the lack of interoperability between networks.
Instead of building a standalone network, Ferrum Network leverages the values of existing blockchains and connects them to a high-speed transaction layer that enables peer-to-peer transactions of any digital asset.
Like the Lightning Network for every blockchain, Ferrum’s revolutionary technology brings networks together, for a consistently high-speed, low-cost transaction experience for every digital asset, whether BTC, ETH, XRP, EOS, Zcash, and so forth. It even works with fiat currencies. Laser-focused on user-acquisition and global adoption, Ferrum Network has built a vertically integrated line of financial applications on top of the network, allowing users to buy, exchange, transact, and store any digital asset with no counter-party risk.
Imagine buying a cup of coffee with bitcoin and the transaction clearing in milliseconds; exchanging BTC for ETH over a high-speed cross-chain decentralized exchange; or sending digital fiat to a user halfway around the world with no third-party intermediary…it is all possible with Ferrum Network.
TECHNOLOGY UNDERLYING FERRUM NETWORK
Innovative technology built for high-speed peer-to-peer transactions of any digital asset is the backbone of Ferrum Network and its products.

Unifyre Wallet & FRM Storage
Our non-custodial crypto wallet — Unifyre Wallet — will be made public in the upcoming months; the estimated timeframe for launch is June-July, in-time for users to download and be prepared for the distribution of FRM. However, Unifyre is NOT required to store FRM (ERC) initially. The ERC-20 FRM will be sent to bounty participants in accordance with the above-timeline.
The official main net will go live sometime during Q4. All FRM holders will then be required to swap their FRM ERC tokens to the native Ferrum blockchain.
Ultimately, we suspect the majority of our community members will be utilizing our unique and user-friendly wallet to claim FRM. We’ll outline all the details about Unifyre when it’s completed and ready for public use.
Moving Forward
In the upcoming weeks and months, we’ll be releasing a series of informative articles related to various aspects of Ferrum Network. We are in the process of structuring and finalizing those key pieces of materials and will be made public in a timely manner.
Ferrum Network has successfully concluded the pre-sale and we are about moving into our Private sale stage. Our public sale is set to occur mid-Q3, with more details being provided in a later document.
