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...

We are excited to announce that our sUSN pool is live on Spectra. This marks a significant step in bringing innovative yield strategies to our community. If you're looking to optimise your yield strategies, hedge against interest rate fluctuations, or simply earn from providing liquidity, Spectra offers a powerful platform to do just that.
Spectra Finance is a decentralised yield trading platform that enables users to separate fixed and variable yield components of yield-bearing assets. This is done through its Principal-Yield tokenization mechanism, which splits assets into Principal Tokens (PTs) and Yield Tokens (YTs). By doing so, Spectra allows traders and investors to take more precise positions on future yield movements.
At its core, Spectra enables:
Yield Speculation: Users can trade YTs to express their views on future yield changes, allowing for leveraged exposure to yield fluctuations.
Fixed Income Strategies: Those seeking predictable returns can acquire PTs, securing a fixed yield until maturity.
Efficient Capital Allocation: Liquidity providers can earn trading fees by facilitating the buying and selling of PTs and YTs, all while benefiting from minimized impermanent loss.
Through the Spectra platform, users can interact with the sUSN pool in several ways:
Principal Tokens (PTs): By purchasing PTs, you can lock in a fixed yield until maturity. For example, right now, you can secure a ~9.22% APY if you hold PT-sUSN until February 5, 2026. This is ideal for those who prefer stability and predictable returns.
Yield Tokens (YTs): If you’re bullish on the future yield of sUSN, YTs provide a way to capitalize on potential increases. The value of YTs is tied to Noon's raw yield and rewards structure.
Continuous Trading: Unlike traditional fixed-income instruments, you don’t have to wait until maturity to exit. Both PTs and YTs can be actively traded, giving you full flexibility to adjust your strategy over time.
Spectra’s yield trading mechanics unlock several practical use cases, helping users maximize returns and manage risk effectively.
If you hold yield-bearing assets and want to eliminate uncertainty about future returns, Spectra enables you to lock in a fixed APY for a predetermined period.
Example (Aave): Suppose you supply 1000 DAI into Aave at a 4% APY. This rate could fluctuate over time, lowering your expected earnings. By using Spectra’s Fixed Rate tool, you can lock in that 4% APY for 1 year, ensuring predictable earnings even if Aave’s yield drops to 2%.
Example (Lido): If you hold 10 stETH with a 5% staking rewards APY, Spectra allows you to lock in this rate for six months. If the staking APY later drops to 2.5%, you continue to earn the originally locked 5% rate.
Principal Tokens function similarly to zero-coupon bonds, providing a discounted way to purchase yield-bearing assets.
Example: If you invest 1000 USDC into Spectra at a 7% APY, you receive 1070 PT-USDC—which will mature into 1070 USDC in one year. This effectively allows you to buy USDC at a discount, securing a guaranteed 7% return upon maturity.
If you anticipate that yields will rise, Yield Tokens (YTs) provide a leveraged way to capture higher returns.
Example (Morpho): Suppose the current APY for USDC on Morpho is 4%, and you expect it to increase due to market conditions. By purchasing YT-mUSDC, you gain exposure to future yield increases. If the APY rises to 8%, the value of your YTs doubles, making you a 100% gain.
The process of minting PTs and YTs on Spectra follows a straightforward mechanism:
Depositing sUSN: Users deposit sUSN into the pool, which is then split into PT-sUSN and YT-sUSN.
Market Trading: PTs and YTs are actively traded, with their prices influenced by the market’s expectations of future yields.
Maturity & Redemption: At maturity, PT holders redeem their fixed yield, while YT holders capture the accrued variable yield over time.
Beyond trading PTs and YTs, you can also become a liquidity provider (LP) in the sUSN pool. By doing so, you earn swap fees whenever users buy and sell PTs and YTs. And here’s the best part: impermanent loss is negligible in this pool, as the assets within it are highly correlated.
Additionally, LPs benefit from multiple revenue streams:
Pool Swap Fees – Earn a percentage of all trades.
Principal Token Fixed Rate Yield – Liquidity providers hold PTs, you lock in a guaranteed return.
Native Yield of Interest-Bearing Tokens – Earn extra yield from the underlying assets.
Incentives & Rewards – Spectra and Noon will provide additional incentives for liquidity providers.
This makes liquidity provision in Spectra an attractive option for DeFi users looking for steady fee income without the typical risks associated with impermanent loss.
To make things even better, we will be rewarding LPs and YT holders. This adds another layer of incentives, making it even more compelling to engage with our pool on Spectra.
Short-Term Campaign (until end of April, 2025) 40 points per day per sUSN deposited in LP 20 points per day per YT held
Long-Term Incentives (after end of April, until maturity) 20 points per day per sUSN deposited in LP 10 points per day per YT held
