Noon$NOON: A Governance token with real returns
At Noon, we believe governance shouldn’t just be a responsibility—it should be rewarded. Protocols are complex systems that need constant tuning, and those who participate in shaping them deserve to see value in return. That’s why we’ve designed $NOON and $sNOON not just as tokens of participation, but as vessels of long-term value creation. While most governance tokens offer a say in decision-making—and, implicitly, the chance to benefit from token appreciation—we wanted to go further. At No...

Noon7 ways Noon is building the safest and most transparent stablecoin
Over the past two weeks, the stablecoin space has seen some controversy. According to recent reports, the TVL of some prominent stablecoin protocols appear to have been artificially inflated through recursive lending between themselves, a cycle where each protocol lends to the other using their own tokens as collateral. On the surface, that can make numbers look impressive. Underneath, it creates fragile, circular exposure, the very kind of hidden leverage that has caused collapses before. Th...

At Noon, we’ve built everything on two core principles: Intelligence and Fairness.
So far, our interpretation of Fairness has focused on how we distribute value—ensuring as much of it flows back to the people who believe in and contribute to Noon. But as we approach the $NOON Token Generation Event (TGE), it's time to zoom out. Fairness isn’t just about who gets what. It’s also about how decisions are made, and who gets to make them.
We’re ready to zoom out.
True transparency means users can see and understand the decisions that impact Noon’s future. But that’s only half the story. If you can’t actually influence those decisions—if power sits in a black box—then transparency is a hollow promise.
That’s not how Noon operates.
We believe control must be decentralised, deliberate, and democratic. In that spirit, we’re unveiling our Governance and Voting Mechanics—a system designed to ensure the Noon protocol is not just seen, but steered, by the people who use and support it.
Here’s how governance at Noon will work, across three key areas:
Scope: What’s up for vote, and how that evolves
Process: A phased approach to community proposals and decision-making
Maximising Impact: How to make your voice matter most
We want governance to matter. That means giving the community the ability to vote on topics that actually shape the protocol.
Our initial focus will be narrow but meaningful—targeting decisions that materially impact Noon’s strategy and returns. These include:
How we expand into new asset classes
How we balance risk vs. reward in deployment strategies
How we evolve tokenomics: rewards, emissions, utility, and more
Over time, this scope will broaden—driven by the same community it’s designed to serve.
The rule is simple: if it matters, it should be voted on.
Governance isn’t governance unless it’s structured. Here’s how proposals will move through our system—step-by-step:
Community members can propose topics they believe Noon should explore. To proceed, a proposal must meet:
50%+ support from voters
60%+ quorum (of eligible votes)
If approved, the Noon team conducts deep analysis. This might include deploying between 1-2% of TVL into a test strategy.
Findings are shared transparently in the Governance Forum.
Armed with data, the community dives in. We’ll answer questions, explore edge cases, and foster debate.
Some topics will be contentious; others unanimous. Either way, we’re here for it.
After sufficient discussion, the community votes.
50%+ support required
60%+ quorum required
Once a proposal passes, we publish an execution plan with key milestones and dates. Then—we get to work.
Want your vote to carry real weight? Want to unlock the full potential of your $NOON allocation?
It all comes down to staking.
When you stake $NOON, you unlock two key advantages:
Stake for 12 months → you vest 100% of your $NOON allocation
Claim immediately → you get just 10%
Unstaking early means forfeiting unvested tokens
Details on vesting curve
Your staked $NOON (we call it $sNOON) increases daily, accelerating over time. Here’s how it works:
$sNOON(t) = 10% + V(t) × 90%
V(t) = (t/T)^3 * 0.73 + (t/T) * 0.27
Where:
t = elapsed time (up to 365 days)
T = 365 days
Examples:
3 months → 16.96% vested
6 months → 29.85% vested
9 months → 54.56% vested
12 months → 100% vested
Staking also boosts your say in governance:
While $NOON is non-transferable (post-TGE), $sNOON = 4x voting power
Once transferable, users will choose custom lockup durations, and earn up to 4x voting power via ve-style mechanics (exact curve TBD)
This system is about more than just good mechanics. It’s about embedding Fairness into Noon’s DNA—not just in what we build, but in how we build it. Governance isn’t a feature bolted on at the end—it’s a core layer of the protocol, as fundamental as the smart contracts or the stablecoin itself.
The $NOON TGE is a milestone, but it’s not the end. It’s the beginning of something deeper: a new model of participation, where intelligence and fairness aren’t just promises—they’re protocol. Noon isn’t designed to be controlled by a few insiders behind closed doors. It’s designed to reflect the collective voice of its community—transparent, reasoned, and open.
Now is the time to shape that voice. Propose. Vote. Stake. Build.You’re not just a user—you’re part of the foundation. And this is your protocol as much as it is ours.
Let’s build the most fair, transparent, and intelligent stablecoin together.
