$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...

7 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...

Noon’s governance token, $NOON, is more than just a token—it’s a key piece of our ecosystem, designed to reward our most engaged users and align with our long-term vision. With the upcoming Token Generation Event (TGE) in Q2 2025, we’ve structured $NOON to not only provide governance rights but also to create a sustainable and valuable system for our community and the future of the protocol.
Creating a governance token that genuinely benefits our users required careful consideration. We focused on three core principles:
Maximizing real value for token holders – From day one, we wanted $NOON to provide tangible benefits, rather than just being a speculative asset.
Rewarding long-term engagement – We want to make sure we reward users that are with us for the long-term, not just short-term speculators. These long-term users should be the primary beneficiaries of governance power and incentives.
Ensuring sustainability – $NOON should contribute to a self-reinforcing cycle of adoption, staking, and utility.
Unlike many governance tokens that are sold to investors, or used to pay service providers or KOLs, $NOON is only accessible to users who engage with the Noon ecosystem. The best way to accumulate $NOON is by acquiring USN or sUSN and holding it; and participating in our rewards programme to leverage the multiplier effect and boosts.
Token multipliers – The longer you stake $NOON (at TGE), the more you earn. The multipliers reward those who commit for extended periods:
3 months: 2x multiplier
6 months: 3x multiplier
9 months: 4x multiplier
12 months: 5x multiplier
Projected distribution schedule – A majority (65-80%) of the total $NOON supply is allocated to the community, ensuring that governance remains in the hands of engaged users.
Staking is at the core of $NOON’s utility - this is to ensure that any benefits that accrue to holders primarily benefit our long-term users.. Only staked $NOON (sNOON) holders can participate in governance and benefit from key features of the ecosystem:
Governance rights – Only sNOON holders can vote on key protocol decisions, ensuring that active participants shape Noon’s future. This could range from adding new deployment strategies to potential re-allocations of Noon’s raw returns.
Buyback mechanism – Any excess funds from the Noon Insurance Fund will be used to buy back $NOON, creating sustained demand.
Returns flow – Noon’s Insurance Fund collects capital from raw returns (10%) and excess operating funds. After 3 months, unused funds are distributed to sNOON holders - giving back real value, regularly, to our most loyal, long-term users.
Our vision for Noon is a long-term one- that’s why our team tokens are all vesting over an industry-lead. And you’ve seen us use the word “long term” repeatedly above. The structure of $NOON is designed for longevity, with mechanisms that ensure a balanced ecosystem and long-term value creation:
Extended distribution schedule – With 65-80% of $NOON being distributed to our users, we knew we could not do this overnight. This large user allocation allows us to spread out our $NOON distribution schedule over 5+ years, and still ensure our users are well rewarded for years to come
Perpetual buy-back incentives – A portion of ecosystem returns are used to buy-back $NOON, ensuring there’s sustained buy-side pressure for $NOON in the long term.
Stake-driven utility – Encourages holding rather than short-term trading, helping to maintain a stable and engaged community.
$NOON is more than just a governance token—it’s the foundation of Noon’s long-term vision. By rewarding dedicated users, aligning incentives, and ensuring sustainable growth, we’re building a governance model that truly benefits our community.
Don’t wait until TGE (Q2 2025) to start accumulating your $NOON portion. Engage with Noon now by holding USN, stake your tokens for sUSN to cumulate raw yield and a smaller $NOON portion, and take your place in having a seat at the roundtable of Noon Governance, your protocol.
Noon is for you. Always.
