Understanding Vaults
NUVA's strategic goal is to become the leading self-directed alternative asset marketplace. Asset selection and evaluation is critical, and NUVA's framework prioritizes assets that:
are issued by reputable asset managers
have transparent and proven historical performance
have real liquidity options
have institutional scale
are "digitally-native" rather than "digital twins"
Initially, NUVA Digital will be responsible for selection of new assets based on the above criteria. As the protocol decentralizes over time, NUVA token holders will gain influence over these decisions, and the Risk Committee under the Foundation will oversee this process.
How Your Funds Flow Through NUVA
From your wallet to NUVA Vaults and back: every step of your deposit’s journey is designed for transparency, security, and efficiency.
Step-by-Step Flow of Funds
Deposit and Mint: Deposit USDC into a vault and receive Asset tokens in your wallet.
Allocate to RWA Issuers: Deposits are allocated to real-world assets based on the vault’s strategy. Provenance Blockchain ensures efficient deployment and liquidity management, so your money starts working quickly.
Tokenize with On-Chain Proof-of-Reserves: The underlying assets are tokenized on Provenance Blockchain, creating immutable records of ownership and real-time data on activity.
Generate Yield: Each vault’s underlying assets generate real yield, which is distributed back to the vault and reflected in the price of your Asset tokens. You can also enhance yield opportunities across DeFi.
Trade or Withdraw: Swap your Asset tokens anytime for stablecoins based on the current token price. Most withdrawals are processed instantly, though some strategies may require a short settlement window for larger amounts.
