what's Nest?
Nest is a flagship staking protocol built on the Plume Network, specializing in real-world asset (RWA) finance. It enables users to deposit stablecoins such as USDC or USDT into professionally managed vaults, where these assets are allocated to yield-generating opportunities from regulated funds, brokers, and issuing protocols. This includes partnerships with major institutional players like BlackRock, Blackstone, Apollo, and Carlyle, providing permissionless and borderless access to institutional-grade RWAs. The protocol leverages Plume's infrastructure, including its SEC-approved transfer agent, to facilitate faster onboarding, accurate ownership records, and compliant distribution of tokenized assets. Users can participate in pre-deposit phases or mainnet vaults to earn rewards, with a focus on stability and real yield generation from diversified real-world investments. Nest emphasizes security and operational resilience, ensuring seamless functionality even during market volatility. By bridging traditional finance with blockchain, Nest democratizes access to high-quality yield sources that were previously reserved for institutional investors, all while maintaining compliance and transparency through on-chain mechanisms.
Nest upgraded to display 30-day/7-day rolling APYs and 30-day SEC yield for user positions.
