Transformation (2023-2024)

Transformation (2023-2024)

The transformation era saw the rebirth of Lagrange as the fXYZ Network - a multi-chain, compliance-first platform with a clear path to EU regulatory approval.

Rebrand to fXYZ

September 2023: New Identity

The fXYZ Network name reflects our expanded vision:

Why the Change

1. Distance from Collapse: Fresh start after FTX/Serum
2. Broader Scope: Beyond forex-to-crypto bridge
3. EU Focus: European regulatory pathway
4. Modern Vision: Knowledge graphs, AI agents, multi-chain

Regulatory Journey

Poland Entity

2024: FXYZ Sp. z o.o. registered in Poland

EU MiCA Preparation

Preparing for Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation:

Why Poland

Strategic choice for EU market entry:

• Crypto-friendly regulatory environment
• English-speaking business community
• Tech hub with developer talent
• Gateway to EU single market
• Reasonable incorporation costs

Technical Pivot

Multi-Chain Architecture

Redesigned from Solana-only to chain-agnostic:

Supported Chains

Neo4j Knowledge Graph

Why Graph Database

Relationships are more valuable than records:

FIBO Integration

Financial Industry Business Ontology provides standards-compliant structure:

Transition to Production

Q4 2024 - Q1 2025

The transformation era culminated in production deployment:

• December 2025: Neo4j knowledge graph live
• January 2026: Solana mainnet deployment
• January 2026: Florin token operational
• January 2026: AI agents production-ready
• January 2026: Bridge.xyz fiat integration live

The transformation era proved that collapse can become catalyst. From the ashes of FTX/Serum emerged a stronger, multi-chain, compliance-first network ready for production.
