Sphereon Chosen to Integrate DAML with Factom Protocol
Integration
It was recently announced that Sphereon has been chosen, by Factom, to integrate DAML with their own Factom Asset Token (FAT).
This integration was undertaken as Factom looks to continue expanding upon the versatility of ‘FAT’ and their recently launched PegNet platform (decentralized stablecoin network).
More specifically, the companies indicate that this move will allow for, not only the tokenization, but the management of both fungible, and non-fungible, assets.
DAML
DAML is a smart contract language that was developed by Digital Asset Holdings. The smart language was made open source, roughly 6 months ago.
It is described by Digital Asset Holdings as a means to ‘abstract away the underlying complexities of blockchains and database technologies, allowing developers to focus on the logic of the applications they are building.’
