In April 2025, the decentralized bond financial protocol OpenFi officially announced that it has secured a strategic investment from FEC (Fortune Earnings Coupon), an international electronic coupon infrastructure, and entered into a deep strategic partnership with FEC. The two parties will collaborate long-term in the direction of integrating DeFi with digital trade, jointly building a "full-chain + full-scenario" decentralized super protocol, and co-creating a value-driven global digital economy ecosystem.

About OpenFi: A New Paradigm for Cross-Chain DeFi Reserve Protocols

OpenFi is a leading decentralized bond financial protocol globally, focusing on the "Bonding + Rebase + Multi-chain Treasury" model, integrating stable yield distribution, real asset support, and cross-chain deployment capabilities, providing users with a sustainable on-chain yield experience. OpenFi started on BNB Chain and will expand into a multi-chain ecosystem, supporting various on-chain assets such as stablecoins and mainstream crypto assets as treasury backing. Its dual-token mechanism ($OPEN and $NEC) separates value capture from community governance, building a secure, compound-interest, and open financial growth system.

About FEC: A Decentralized Electronic Coupon Protocol Linking Global Consumer Scenarios

FEC (Fortune Earnings Coupon) is a global electronic coupon protocol launched by the Digital Trade Industry Alliance. It has been widely applied in nearly 10,000 stores across more than 10 countries and has received strategic investment support from Hong Kong-listed Sumon Capital International Holdings Group. FEC issues and circulates coupons through blockchain smart contracts, providing an efficient, secure, and transparent digital consumption incentive tool. It is widely used in e-commerce, offline retail, cross-border trade, content platforms, and O2O services, aiming to become the foundational infrastructure asset tool for global digital trade.

FEC is compatible with various trading platforms, retail systems, and payment platforms, and connects with Web3 wallets through API interfaces, building a blockchain rights tool that can be widely accessed by both Web2/Web3 merchants, reducing the threshold for traditional industries to enter the crypto world.

All issuing, rebate, and redemption actions of FEC are executed based on on-chain smart contracts, making all operations auditable and traceable with high credibility, meeting global regulatory requirements for the verifiability and security of digital assets.

The FEC token can be freely exchanged for mainstream digital assets (such as USDT, ETH) on decentralized exchanges and, combined with the "consume-rebate-repeat" mechanism, promotes the value circulation among global digital economy participants.

Shared Vision: Building a Trillion-Dollar Digital Value Network Infrastructure

OpenFi focuses on constructing a "decentralized bond market + multi-chain reserve asset system," while FEC is committed to building a "global consumption-driven digital asset issuance network." Their collaboration will form a true value passage connecting on-chain asset issuance with offline consumption applications, helping global users enter a "storage, appreciation, consumption" three-in-one on-chain economy.

Under this collaborative structure, FEC's "real-world transaction data + behavioral value" will be integrated into OpenFi's treasury and yield distribution mechanism, making DeFi no longer isolated from actual business activities. Meanwhile, OpenFi's on-chain asset growth logic provides FEC with a new token circulation path and holding value logic, solving the traditional points system's problem of "lack of value anchoring and long-term appeal."

In the future, OpenFi and FEC will jointly launch products, ecosystem incentive plans, and node cooperation mechanisms to empower community members and developers to participate in building the next-generation Web3 digital economy system.

Regarding this cooperation, OpenFi's core team stated:

"OpenFi, as a protocol-based financial infrastructure, has always been committed to exploring the integration paths between DeFi and real-world assets and consumption systems. FEC has a solid global foundation of landing scenarios and a mature commercial user network, making it an important partner for our cross-industry collaboration. We hope to use this cooperation to drive on-chain finance towards the mass market."

The cooperation between OpenFi and FEC is not just a simple investment link, but a deep fusion attempt between two Web3 infrastructures at the asset layer, protocol layer, and consumption scenario layer. This will bring more value-supported on-chain financial services to global users and inject new possibilities for the sustainable development of DeFi in the future.
