FABLINKER

TOKEN WHITEPAPER

PROJECT OVERVIEW

FabLinker Token is a functional cryptocurrency representing the right to manufacture AI chips. It is initiated by the FabLinker Token DAO. The project aims to build a new decentralized production capacity marketplace by combining production tokenization, on-chain verification, and decentralized governance.

Today, global access to advanced manufacturing nodes (like 5nm/7nm) is highly concentrated. Ordinary AI startups and developers face significant barriers in accessing top-tier chip production. FabLinker Token solves this by bridging the gap between supply (foundries) and demand (developers) through tokenization. Each unit of FabLinker Token corresponds to a right to reserve a certain quantity or time of chip manufacturing, enforceable through smart contracts.

The goal is to break the inefficient and exclusive capacity model and build an open, flexible, and globally accessible ecosystem for chip production.

Market Background & Industry Challenges

The global demand for AI chips is rising rapidly, driven by AI models, edge computing, and smart devices. However, AI chip fabrication relies heavily on advanced foundry nodes (e.g., TSMC’s 5nm or 3nm). This leads to several structural challenges:

  • Production concentration: Advanced nodes are monopolized by a few foundries.
  • Centralized access: Only large clients can secure capacity.
  • Opacity: Pricing and scheduling lack transparency.
  • Non-tradability: Production reservations are non-transferable and illiquid.

This makes it nearly impossible for smaller AI startups, research labs, and open-source chip projects to access resources. Meanwhile, foundries also face inefficient scheduling and limited fundraising flexibility.

FabLinker Token addresses these issues by creating a market for “tokenized capacity rights” that can circulate and be traded globally.

Core Value Proposition

FabLinker Token turns real-world chip manufacturing capability into a programmable, tradable, and governable digital asset. Its core value lies in:

Digital assetization

Converts production rights into divisible and transferable tokens.

Breaking the monopoly

Enables small firms to access production without large contracts.

Global liquidity

Token-based scheduling and resale of production rights.

Innovative fundraising

Foundries can tokenize future capacity to raise capital.

Decentralized governance

Users vote on foundry partnerships, pricing policies, and capacity distribution.

Smart contract automation

Scheduling, priority assignment, and settlement are handled via contracts.

Composable ecosystem

SDK/API integrations with EDA tools, chip design platforms, and supply chain systems.

Technical Architecture

Built on an EVM-compatible chain, FabLinker Token supports Layer 2 scalability and cross-chain operability. Key components:

Capacity Mapping Contract

Verified foundries map their capacity on-chain. Each issuance is tied to real-world factory data and represented as NFTs.

Capacity Booking Contract

Users stake FabLinker Token tokens to reserve manufacturing time or chip batches, with automatic scheduling and priority assignment.

DAO Governance Contract

All major decisions (e.g., new partners, capacity release, policy changes) are determined via token-holder voting.

Staking & Burn Mechanism

Token holders earn governance points and platform rewards via staking. Part of the tokens are burned during usage to ensure deflation.

Oracle & API Integration

Real-time syncing with ERP/MES systems ensures transparency of orders and production schedules.

Tokenomics

FabLinker Token powers the ecosystem through four roles: capacity rights, governance, usage, and incentives.

Total Supply :

1 billion tokens

(fixed, no further issuance)

Allocation :

35% – Capacity Providers (Foundries)

25% – Community & Developer Incentives

20% –Foundation Strategic Reserve

10% –Core Team (vesting)

10% –Investors & Strategic Partners

Allocation :

  • A portion of FabLinker Token is burned with each booking.
  • DAO Treasury uses collected fees for buyback and redistribution.
  • Governance proposals can adjust burn rates.

Capacity Anchoring Mechanism

To ensure the token is backed by real value, FabLinker Token employs strict capacity mapping procedures:

Verified Off-Chain Capacity

Partner foundries submit authentic production schedules and audit reports.

NFT + Token Hybrid

Each unit of production is represented by an NFT and linked to the FabLinker Token token.

Third-Party Audit

Independent auditors validate capacity data and contract fulfillment.

Default Protection

In case of delivery failure, users may file DAO proposals for compensation from the reserve pool.

Data On-Chain Synchronization

MES/ERP data from factories is synced to the blockchain for verifiability.

Ecosystem & Platform Infrastructure

FabLinker Token’s goal is to become the backbone of a decentralized chip production ecosystem:

FabLinker Token DEX

A decentralized platform for token trading, capacity reservation, and resale.

Capacity NFT Marketplace

Reserved capacity can be tokenized into NFTs and sold on-chain.

Audit & Oracle Systems

Interfaces provide transparency of real-time data from partner foundries.

SDK/API Developer Kit

Chip design platforms and EDA tools can integrate FabLinker Token booking systems.

Governance Interface

Token holders vote on policies, fee structures, and partner integrations.

Cross-Chain Bridge

 Interoperability with assets like ETH, USDT, and other RWA token ecosystems.
