Fission
Splits base tokens into Neutron and Proton.
Deploy a reactor that splits an ERC-20 reserve into two tokens: Neutron, a stablecoin, and Proton, which tokenizes the reserve surplus. Both stay fully backed by the base asset.
Neutron
Pegged claim on the reserve
Proton
Reserve surplus
Illustrative model of one reactor. Not live data.
Every reactor is an autonomous, permissionless contract that holds a single base asset and issues two claims against it.
The stable token. Exposure to stability, pegged to the reactor's target asset.
The volatile residual token. It tokenizes the reserve surplus and captures changes in the value remaining after the Neutron claim.
Splits base tokens into Neutron and Proton.
Merges Neutron and Proton back into base tokens.
Converts Proton into Neutron with a dynamic fee based on recent transmutation activity and the reactor reserve.

Gluon's settlement, oracle, and reserve controls follow the Stability Nexus research note on the Gluon dual-token design, published on IACR ePrint as 2025/1372.

Choose a base asset, connect a price oracle, and set the reserve policy. Reactors are created by a factory contract on each supported network.
