The Armenian capital became a crypto innovation hub this July as Fastex showcased its ecosystem integration at Harmony Meetup 7, blending physical collectibles with blockchain utility.

Bridging Digital and Physical Assets

Fastex CEO Vakhtang Abrahamyan revealed FTN Notes - limited-edition physical banknotes backed 1:1 by Fasttoken (FTN). The 【10 million】 issuance represents just 1% of total FTN supply, featuring advanced anti-counterfeit technology verified by Authentix. Early demand has already exceeded expectations, with the company managing allocation requests for these collector's items that unlock exclusive ecosystem benefits.

Stable Solutions for Volatile Markets

Pavel Aramyan, Fasttoken program lead, addressed DeFi lending challenges through PercentMe - a borrowing protocol on Bahamut chain offering fixed-rate loans. The solution leverages Bahamut's proof-of-stake-and-activity consensus, where validator performance impacts staking rewards. ——This creates a self-regulating mechanism for network security and lending stability—— Aramyan explained in an exclusive discussion.

Spending Crypto in Real-Time

The upgraded Fastex Card, developed with Monavate, enables direct spending from exchange accounts without fiat conversion. VIP users gain access to metal cards with Arculus-powered cold storage, featuring three-factor authentication. ——We're turning crypto into practical spending power—— stated Meri Mirijanyan, Fastex's payments head, highlighting the card's 【40+】 supported platforms.

The event also featured insights from Fireblocks and Arculus executives, plus a surprise appearance by football legend Patrice Evra promoting health tech integration. Fastex's multi-pronged approach demonstrates how blockchain projects can create tangible utility across financial services, payments and collectibles.
