About Nest
Nest is Plume's flagship RWA protocol. You deposit stables, vault buys assets, you earn yield
Nest is Plume’s flagship real-world asset protocol, built to enable on-chain access to real world yield through structured vaults. Developed by Plume and backed by institutional investors including Brevan Howard Digital, Haun Ventures, Galaxy Ventures, and Lightspeed Faction, Nest is designed as infrastructure for scalable RWA allocation on public blockchains. Nest vaults allow stablecoins to be deposited into on-chain smart contracts that allocate capital to regulated financial assets and return yield on-chain. Upon deposit, vault shares are minted as on-chain receipts representing a proportional claim on the vault’s assets and accrued yield. Underlying assets are sourced from regulated institutions and asset issuers, including partners such as Apollo and Hamilton Lane, across both public and private markets. Assets are acquired and held as part of each vault’s structure and are not freely transferable, ensuring that vault value is fully backed by the underlying exposures rather than secondary trading or incentive mechanics.
Key Benefits
Nest enables real-world yield to accrue directly to on-chain capital through regulated, asset-backed vaults. Stablecoins deposited into a vault receive an on-chain receipt token whose value reflects accrued yield, while remaining fully composable across the DeFi ecosystem. Underlying assets are sourced from audited, regulated institutions and held within the vault structure, while access remains permissionless at the protocol layer. Institutional safeguards, including AML and threat detection, are inherited from Plume primitives, providing a secure and compliant foundation.
About the Plume Ecosystem
Nest is built by Plume, a chain and ecosystem that brings RWAs to everyone (including other chains). Through native AML screening at the sequencer level, Plume enables secure, globally compliant DeFi applications without centralized gatekeepers.
