Ramifi Token (RAM) is a synthetic digital asset designed to track inflation-adjusted value through an elastic supply mechanism. It adjusts supply based on a volume-weighted basket of over 150 globally traded commodities, aiming to maintain stable real-world purchasing power. RAM was initially launched as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum but migrated to Binance Smart Chain in July 2021 to reduce transaction costs and improve speed. The migration involved an airdrop and deprecation of the original token. RAM supports decentralised governance and can be used in DeFi applications such as trading and staking. The protocol was created by Kyle Forkey and Kyle Kahlenberg, and launched in March 2021 to offer a decentralised asset resilient to fiat currency inflation.

Ramifi Token (RAM) is a synthetic digital asset with an elastic supply mechanism designed to maintain its value relative to an inflation-adjusted benchmark. It operates as part of the Ramifi Protocol, which uses a dynamically weighted basket of over 150 globally traded commodities to assess the real purchasing power of the US dollar. Based on this benchmark, the protocol algorithmically expands or contracts the token supply in order to stabilise RAM’s value in real terms.

Rather than relying on a fixed supply or external collateral, the token supply is adjusted periodically through a rebase mechanism, ensuring that RAM aims to track an inflation-indexed target value. This design distinguishes RAM from other synthetic assets by focusing on preserving purchasing power rather than nominal price stability.

The protocol was initially implemented on Ethereum using an ERC-20 smart contract, later transitioning to the Binance Smart Chain.

Ramifi Token is intended to function as an inflation-tracking store of value within decentralised finance ecosystems. Its core applications include:

  • Purchasing power preservation: By linking its supply to an inflation-adjusted benchmark, RAM aims to maintain stable real value over time.
  • Governance: RAM holders may participate in a decentralised governance process, allowing them to vote on protocol-level decisions.
  • DeFi use: The token can be used in decentralised finance applications, such as trading, staking, or liquidity provision, subject to platform integration.

The supply elasticity model is central to its use case, enabling RAM to operate as a synthetic commodity intended to reflect real-world economic conditions, particularly inflation dynamics.
