Nuon v2 Monthly Community Update: February - March 2025

The past month and a half have been incredibly exciting for Nuon as we successfully launched the Nuon v2 protocol, expanded our ecosystem of partners, and strengthened our ties with the community. Here’s a recap of the key milestones and activities achieved in the past month.

February 2025: Building Momentum

February was a month of preparation, testing, and laying the groundwork for the official launch of Nuon v2. Our team worked tirelessly to ensure that the protocol was functional and safe while also engaging with the broader blockchain community at key industry events.

Testing and Final Preparations

The development team spent the first three weeks of February rigorously testing Nuon v2 on testnet and live with select members of the community. This phase was critical to ensuring the protocol’s stability, security, and scalability. By February 21, we were confident that Nuon v2 was ready to go live.

Consensus Hong Kong 2025

The Nuon team traveled to Hong Kong to participate in ConsensusHK 2025, one of the most prominent blockchain and cryptocurrency events of the year, organized by CoinDesk. This was a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry leaders, showcase Nuon v2, and explore potential collaborations.

Nuon v2 at Chainlink Event

February 20, we took the stage at an exclusive Chainlink Event: Build, Scale, Connect during ConsensusHK 2025 to present Nuon v2 to a global audience of builders and investors.

Nuon v2 Protocol Goes Live

February 21 marked a historic moment for Nuon as the v2 protocol officially went live in stealth mode. This initial launch phase allowed us to onboard early adopters and gather valuable feedback from the community.

Guarded Launch Begins

Just three days after the protocol went live, the first Nuon stakers joined the Nuon v2 Guarded Launch. This phase was designed to ensure a smooth and secure rollout, with a limited number of participants helping to stress-test the system.

Partnership with Chainlink Announced

On February 26, we announced a strategic partnership with Chainlink, a leading decentralized oracle network. This collaboration will enhance Nuon v2’s capabilities by integrating Chainlink’s price data feeds and automation.

Community Engagement on X Spaces

Feb 19, we held our first AMA this year for the close community, which answered a lot of your questions about the protocol. You can listen to it on X.

Feb 27, Cameron also joined an X Spaces session with Bracket Finance, Reform DAO, and Midas RWA to discuss the Real Yield generation strategies in DeFi. This was a great opportunity to engage directly with the thought leaders and innovators in the field, explore synergies, and expand our partner ecosystem.

Nuon featured on Truflation Newsletter

As a project incubated by Truflation, we shared details of the Guarded Launch with Truflation’s community via Truflation's newsletter. This helped us reach a wider audience interested in Truflation's vision of inflation protection and reward their community for their continuous support by allowing them early access to Nuon v2 staking rewards.

March 2025: Expanding the Ecosystem

March was all about growth, community engagement, and celebrating the public launch of Nuon v2. The month was packed with exciting announcements, events, and milestones that showcased the protocol’s rapid adoption and success.

Public Launch of Nuon v2

On March 3, the Nuon v2 Guarded Launch opened to the public, marking the official release of Nuon v2 to a broader audience. This was a major milestone for the project as it allowed anyone to participate in the protocol and experience its benefits firsthand.

Referral Program Goes Live

Alongside the public launch, we introduced the very lucrative Nuon Referral Program. This program rewards users for inviting others to join the Nuon ecosystem of stakers, helping us grow the community while providing exclusive and quite extensive incentives for early adopters.

Strategic Partnership with Liquid Yield Experts

March 12, Nuon and Midas announced a strategic partnership. Nuon is working on integrating Midas' highly liquid and EU-regulated yield products into Nuon's decentralized portfolio allocations. Midas will also help Nuon build its inflation backstop using inflation-correlated, tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs), such as tokenized T-bills, oil, gold, and Bitcoin.

Live AMA with Truflation

On March 4, Cameron participated in a live AMA session with Stefan Rust from Truflation. This event was an opportunity to dive deeper into the ins and outs of the protocol, its unique features, the stablecoin, the unique strategy token, the decentralized allocations' engine, and the future roadmap. The AMA aimed to deepen the community’s understanding of the protocol.

Protocol Reaches ~146k TVL

By March 14, the Nuon v2 protocol had reached an impressive Total Value Locked (TVL) of approximately $146,000 despite the challenging market conditions. This milestone reflects the growing trust and confidence in Nuon v2 and the increasing participation from the community. The $NUON stablecoin is the perfect safe haven for the current uncertain situation, protecting investors from crypto volatilities while allowing easy and risk-adjusted access to DeFi yields.

Summary

The past two months have been a testament to the hard work, dedication, and support of the Nuon team and community. From the successful launch of Nuon v2 to the establishment of key partnerships and the rapid growth of our ecosystem, we’ve made significant strides in delivering easily accessible and risk-adjusted inflation protection to wider audiences in the form of a stablecoin.

What's Next for Nuon

We have exciting plans in the pipeline, including partnerships and initiatives that will further enhance the Nuon ecosystem and its broader visibility. Stay tuned for info on upcoming airdrops and giveaway campaigns and other fun ways in which we plan to reward our most avid supporters.
