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...

However, to recognise and reward our early supporters for their engagement, we’re introducing a rewards program ahead of the TGE. Below is a summary of the points program.

At Noon, we don’t just care about returns. We care about your capital, and keeping it safe.In a world where DeFi promises high yields but can sometimes deliver high drama, we set out to make something different: a platform where your assets are secure, and your returns are safe, transparent, and reliable.
Before we talk about insurance, let’s start with the foundation: our strategies.
Every deployment at Noon is designed to minimize daily volatility while still achieving market-leading returns.
Our target is simple: eliminate negative days, when returns are less than 0. We begin to build this stability by carefully selecting strategies, continuously monitoring risk, and ensuring diversification across markets.
But carefully selecting our strategies, etc. is not sufficient. We understand to generate returns above the risk-free rate, we need to deploy capital into strategies involving some limited level of risk. In addition, as we carefully evaluate trading risk, execution risk, market risk, and other risks within our control, we believe that the largest risks our deployment strategies face, which we have limited control over, are smart contract risk and counterparty risk.
To counter these risks - the (limited) risk of volatility from our strategies, smart contract risk and counterparty risk, we look to three lines of insurance to protect our users and our collateral:
DeFi Deployment Insurance - mitigates smart contract risk when deploying into DeFi strategies
Custodial Insurance - mitigates counterparty risk for assets held with qualified custodians

Noon Insurance Fund - mitigates the (limited) risk from the volatility of Noon’s deployment strategies
Even the best strategies can’t remove all risk. That’s why Noon adds insurance on top of smart contract risk.
Through our partnership with Nexus Mutual, every DeFi deployment is covered against protocol failures, exploits, and smart contract vulnerabilities. Nexus Mutual is web3’s most trusted and well known insurance provider, and the first choice for many major funds looking for coverage.
Right now, we hold active coverage for:
And because we believe in full transparency, all coverage is verifiable directly onchain👉 View active Nexus coverage
Coverage is bought using Noon’s Operations wallet.
Whenever coverage is bought, you can validate this on-chain. For example, you can view this transaction in which Noon bought an amount of 1,925,000 USDC for Euler and Morpho here.
Additionally, you can visit Dune and view details of the cover and their owners over here.
Because Noon deploys at scale, we’re able to access this coverage at a fraction of the cost that any individual could. In part, we rely on diversification - we divide our DeFi deployments across multiple independent protocols, with no significant code overlap, meaning no shared attack vectors. This reduces the likelihood of more than one of our deployments being compromised, allowing us to optimise our insurance coverage. In other words, our users get institutional-grade insurance for less — a quiet advantage of our scale.
Some assets don’t live fully onchain — think U.S. Treasury Bills, CLOs, and other traditional holdings.
For these, Noon works via Dinari with Alpaca, a regulated custodian, and benefits from SIPC coverage. In addition to the standard SIPC coverage, Alpaca has taken out additional coverage with Lloyd’s of London to further protect users like us.
This isn’t just a checkbox — it’s real protection for your assets held offchain, ensuring that all parts of Noon’s platform are covered.
Finally, we’ve built our own insurance fund, a platform-level safety net.
Every month, 10% of Noon's raw yield flows into this fund. Its purpose is simple:
Absorb short-term volatility in our strategies.
Cover events that third-party insurance doesn’t.
Funds mature (“season”) for 3 months before distribution to staked $NOON ($sNOON) holders.
This allowing sufficient buffer to absorb any temporary (limited) risk of volatility from Noon’s deployment strategies. You can explore the details of this process here:👉 Return Distribution & Insurance Fund
A Triple-Layer Safety Net
At Noon, we know that building yield safely means thinking beyond strategy selection.
While we carefully manage trading, execution, and other risks within our control, we recognise that there are other significant risks — namely smart contract risk and counterparty risk - which are harder for us to influence.
That’s why Noon has built three lines of insurance:
DeFi Deployment Insurance — mitigating smart contract risk when deploying into DeFi strategies.
Custodial Insurance — mitigating counterparty risk for assets held with qualified custodians.
The Noon Insurance Fund — mitigating the limited risk from volatility within Noon’s deployment strategies.
When you combine these three layers, you get something unique — protection at the protocol level, protection at the custodial level, and protection at the platform level.
This triple-layer structure is how Noon makes our protocol yield safer, smarter, and more reliable — without compromising performance.
Because at Noon, capital preservation isn’t a feature. It’s the foundation.
