Question 1: Can you please shed some light on how staking and mining will work on FUSION? Do supreme nodes perform staking only for LILO blocks? Or also mining using PoW? (Example : If supreme nodes can compete using PoW, then all the rewards will typically go to the miner with the highest hash power. Normal guys like me will not find it profitable to compete with them using our simple mining rigs)

On FUSION, we have two layers of consensus packing for two different types of blocks. One is transaction blocks, which will utilize proof of stake (nodes use their FSN to buy tickets to compete for the rights of packing transaction blocks). All nodes (no requirements of number of FSN) are qualified to participate. And FUSION accepts FSN with Time Lock to participate, as long as the time lock set is presently valid( eg: FSN now->3 month later).

The second type of block is LILO blocks, which will utilize proof of work as a consensus mechanism. There is a node requirement of 5000 FSN to compete in PoW to validate LILO blocks. We call these nodes - ‘supreme nodes’. Among all of the supreme nodes, the system will use the previous blocks hash as the seed to select 6 supreme nodes. And these 6 supreme nodes will use proof of work to compete for the rights of packing the next LILO block. The algorithm chosen by the FUSION Foundation has set a maximum hash power for each supreme node.

Question 2: Does fusion personally plan on expanding on use cases such as the OTC derivatives market, or do you hope other entities create DApps on the fusion protocol?

FUSION team will focus on building the cryptofinance infrastructure. We will rely on partners in the ecosystem to develop various financial DApps to serve the market.

As you all know, FUSION has established the Industry Adoption Team to support building out this ecosystem. This team is in communication with financial institutions, digital companies, blockchain projects, crypto funds, and financial application development companies to make the ecosystem bigger and bigger.

However, FUSION may develop some tools to make building financial DApps easier.

Question 3: Dj has teased on telegram before that someone is already developing a financial DApp on fusion. Can we get any more hints about it? What sector is it for, pensions, mortgages etc? Any more details you’re allowed to reveal would be great. Is fusion planning to make their own dapp on top of fusion to help adoption in real world?

We see more and more companies come to us and communicate with fusion for the financial DApp they are building on fusion. However, we are not allowed to reveal any details because all of them want to be the first in this market and get the first-mover advantages. But here, I can summarize the categories:

1. Using fusion platform to automate their own financial business processes and increase their ecosystem.

2. Generic financial DApps that enable the creation of derivatives.

3. Token Loan Applications.

4. Discussion in Insurance&Pension but the projects have not been started.

5. Discussion in progress to build a competence centre in Europe.
