Republic, a platform seeking to democratize access to private investments, has chosen Avalanche as the blockchain to launch its novel profit-sharing digital asset, the Republic Note. In addition to launching, the Republic Note is also set to be listed for secondary market trading on the Avalanche-powered trading platform INX.One on December 6, 2023.

Republic selected Avalanche for its speed, scalability, and customizability, and plans to expand its footprint to a dedicated Subnet next year. 

Since its inception in 2016, Republic has empowered a global community of over 3 million members to deploy over $2.6 billion into a diverse range of privately held ventures. To further broaden access to these high-growth companies, in 2018 Republic announced its plans to create the Republic Note, a digital asset backed by Republic's portfolio. 

Available to retail investors globally at low minimums, the Republic Note accrues profits generated by Republic’s portfolio of 760+ private assets and distributes them to holders' digital wallets in stablecoins. The Republic Note has garnered over $30 million in pre-sale participation from thousands of individual investors, institutions, and organizations. 

The Avalanche Foundation’s Vista program is proud to support the Republic Note as one of the many investors. Vista aims to accelerate the growth of tokenization and its role in on-chain finance (“OnFi”) by demonstrating the merits of applying blockchain rails and smart contract logic to historically more manual, operationally-intensive, and opaque parts of the asset management lifecycle.

With the December 6 launch on INX.One via Avalanche, the Republic Note will go fully live in tokenized form and primed for secondary market trading. 

“With Avalanche, the Republic Note is getting the foundation it needs to reach and scale with a global audience of investors,” said Andrew Durgee, President of Republic. “Choosing Avalanche goes far beyond the network’s strength, scale, and speed — it solidifies our longstanding partnership with Ava Labs, built on a shared vision of more inclusive financial markets.”

“Avalanche is the ideal platform to support the Republic Note's exciting launch,” said John Wu, President of Ava Labs. “Ava Labs’ collaboration with Republic showcases mutual commitment to developing innovative digital financial products. We are excited for a wider range of investors to have the chance to choose from new opportunities and anticipate a transformative era on the horizon for groundbreaking digital assets.”
