Nirvana
Founded by a distributed team of DeFi veterans with deep roots in the Solana ecosystem, Nirvana is on a mission to redefine token markets and elevate the decentralized finance landscape. With the relaunch of Nirvana V2, the team reaffirms its commitment to building secure, transparent, and equitable financial systems for all.
Vision
Nirvana’s market-driven mint with its protocol-owned liquidity was conceived as a direct response to the pervasive systemic issues plaguing the business-as-usual in DeFi. Legacy protocols often grapple with challenges such as insider allocations, opaque market-making practices, and inadequate liquidity solutions. Recognizing these obstacles, Nirvana set out to design a fairer, more transparent market mechanism that empowers all participants equally. Nirvana’s ANA addresses these concerns by ensuring protocol-owned liquidity, eliminating insider advantages, and providing a predictable pricing algorithm that includes an irreversible rising floor. Once the floor reaches a new height, it never recedes, locking in profit in perpetuity for token holders.
