Introduction
NUVA is a Web3 marketplace that connects RWA issuers and users through curated vaults offering diverse, institutional quality yield strategies. NUVA is unifying the fragmented RWA sector and driving the convergence of TradFi and DeFi.
NUVA users can access a curated selection of tokenized TradFi and DeFi opportunities from leading managers across multiple chains. Built-in tools simplify education, research, due diligence, portfolio construction, and reporting.
Issuers can use NUVA marketplace to access an entirely new global distribution channel. They can bring their own tokenized assets to the platform or use NUVA's industry-leading Vaults-as-a-Service product built natively on the Provenance Blockchain.
NUVA’s Innovative Structure
NUVA combines the latest blockchain technology with rapidly evolving regulatory compliant structures to deliver a better user experience. Key characteristics include:
Simple, permissionless access: Just visit NUVA.finance and select an asset and deposit USDC to get it - no KYC, no token staking, no yield claiming - you don’t need an engineering degree to use NUVA.
Effortless constantly compounding yield: Continuous compounding yield maximizes interest payments, opening up entirely new forms of collateral from structured payments to repo transactions.
Multi-chain and composable: NUVA is native to the most popular networks including Ethereum, Solana and Base. nvAsset tokens will also trade on multiple decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and can be used with third-party DeFi partners to lever, loop and strip.
High liquidity with no minimums: Each vault has different liquidity and withdrawal characteristics that depend on the underlying assets instant creation, but instant creation, fast withdrawals and DEX liquidity are standard.
Overcollateralized with 100% on chain proof of reserve: Manage risk with a clear view of each vault's underlying assets which are digitally native and ownerhip perfected on the Provenance Blockchain.
Immutable, self-custodial and efficient: Smart contracts that are managed according to pre-programmed rules that cannot be changed and are audited with regulatory compliance and operational excellence at their core. Users always have full ownership and control of their tokens.
Earn NUVA points / tokens: Users own the network and receive NUVA points for early participation. Soon, NUVA points will convert to tokens that can be staked for increased yield.
The nvYLDS Vault
nvYLDS is the flagship stablecoin of the NUVA ecosystem, built for investors who prioritize yield, safety and liquidity. nvYLDS is fully backed by Figure Certificate Company’s YLDS, the first and only U.S. SEC-registered, yield-bearing stablecoin security. YLDS’ SEC registration is a major differentiator and enables a wide range of regulated investors to incorporate it into their holdings.
Yielding around 4%, nvYLDS tokens are among the most attractive stablecoins in DeFi.
The nvHELOC Vault
NUVA’s flagship private credit asset vault nvHELOC provides exposure to a diversified pool of high quality home equity line of credit (HELOC) loans originated and managed by Figure Technology Solutions, Inc. through their Democratized Prime marketplace.
Yielding around 9%, nvHELOC tokens are among the most attractive assets in DeFi.
The NUVA Token
The NUVA token serves as the economic backbone of the NUVA ecosystem—scalable, capital-efficient, community-owned financial infrastructure that offers an alternative to centralized exchanges and stablecoins. User incentives are tightly aligned, ensuring rapid ecosystem scaling and sustainable decentralization. We expect NUVA to be listed on leading crypto exchages in 2026. Highlights include:
Real Revenue Sharing: Many DeFi protocols keep all the profit for themselves. NUVA is different in that it distributes all of its net revenue to staked NUVA token holders. Revenue sharing provides tangible yield—especially valuable when the user base is smaller—and incentivizes staking, which reduces float and strengthens token demand. NUVA splits net revenue between staking rewards and buybacks, balancing yield generation, price support, and ecosystem alignment.
Strong Governance: NUVA token holders control the platform's future, including new vault proposals, treasury management, collateral acceptance, reward/buyback ratios, fee adjustments, and more.
Dynamic Token Emissions: As the protocol grows, NUVA becomes increasingly scarce. The emission rate of NUVA points relative to total TVL decreases with new deposits, boosting its intrinsic value over time.
Community-Focused Distribution: The majority of NUVA tokens will be distributed to the community. Ecosystem incentives reward real users, issuers, liquidity providers, and others for facilitating the adoption and growth of the protocol's products.
Developers and Partners
The NUVA protocol is managed by the NUVA Foundation, a Cayman Islands exempted limited guarantee foundation company that serves as the cornerstone for long-term project development, governance, and treasury management. The Foundation operates with a robust governance structure designed for regulatory compliance and operational excellence. Its board of directors brings relevant industry expertise and oversees critical services.
The NUVA Foundation is following a carefully structured path toward progressive decentralization, aligned with community interests and regulatory expectations around safety, soundness, and accountability. This journey will be transparent, deliberate, and inclusive—designed to ensure stability during early stages while gradually expanding community governance as the network matures.
