Nuon v2 Guarded Launch: February 2025
In just a few days, we are beginning a controlled initial deployment of Nuon v2—the next step in the evolution of yield-bearing stablecoins.
What is Nuon v2?
Nuon v2 introduces innovative functionalities designed to address a fundamental challenge: ensuring sustainable, long-term yields regardless of market conditions while protecting stablecoins against USD inflation.
To do that, Nuon v2 deploys a community allocation portal accessible through the upcoming strategy coin, which incentivizes defi strategists to allocate the protocol's TVL into yield-bearing assets.
Over time, the portal will begin to function as a de facto prediction market for defi yields, thanks to an incentive design where successful allocations are heavily rewarded while unsuccessful choice-makers get slashed.
Additionally, Nuon v2 offers a range of risk management profiles fit for investors at all levels of risk appetite.
The protocol's defi aggregator and allocation strategies are available to high-risk, high-reward players who, by staking their strategy token, gain access to the community allocations and rewards on the total protocol's TVL. They also get to manage a large capital portfolio.
Stablecoin fans, on the other hand, gain access to relatively low-risk, medium-level yields without the need to manage their portfolio or understand various defi protocols. The inflation yield is streamed directly to Nuon holders' wallets, and most of their risk is transferred onto the strategists of the protocol.
Additionally, at a slightly higher risk, Nuon holders may choose to stake their Nuon to receive strategy tokens, granting them first access to strategy allocations and rewards after TGE.
This marriage of low-risk stablecoin users seeking a secure inflation hedge and high-risk defi players seeking extra rewards is what maintains sustainable yields in the system.
What is the Guarded Launch?
The Guarded Launch is a controlled initial deployment of the Nuon v2 protocol and Nuon v2 token. The gradual character of the launch helps us maintain the protocol's security and test the system's stability in real market conditions before the complete deployment. It's a security measure and an opportunity for early birds to get access to the strategy tokens before the Token Generating Event (TGE).
When is TGE?
TGE of the strategy token will occur once we are 100% certain the protocol is ready to open to the public. Nuon stakers will still earn rewards even after the Guarded Launch is complete. Any rewards earned during the Guarded Launch will become claimable after TGE.
What to expect during the Guarded Launch?
At Guarded Launch, everyone will gain access to the Nuon v2 dashboard and be able to mint Nuon 1:1 against USDC. It will also be possible to stake Nuon tokens in exchange for the strategy token. Nuon stakers will gain start accruing strategy tokens up to and after TGE.
Users will also be able to acquaint themselves with the v2 dashboard, proposals, allocations and strategies areas, which will become active after the TGE, March 2025.
How to get the strategy token early?
First, go to the Nuon v2 portal and convert USDC to Nuon. The transaction will instantly mint new Nuon into your non-custodial wallet.
Next, go to the staking section of the dashboard and stake your tokens. You will begin to receive the strategy token rewards.
The staking has an unbinding time of 21 days, but during the Guarded Launch we may reduce that to 7 days. Your strategy token rewards will not be sellable or movable until the official TGE.
