Last updated 10 days ago

Is Nest non-custodial?

Yes. Nest is 100% non-custodial—you remain in control of your funds at all times. Vaults are fully onchain smart contracts, and Nest never has access to your assets.


How does Nest generate yield?

Vaults allocate your stablecoins into real-world, regulated financial assets, such as:

  • U.S. Treasuries

  • Floating-rate loan ETFs

  • Private credit and receivables

  • Delta-neutral crypto strategies

Yield accrues automatically and is reflected in the increasing value of your vault tokens.


How quickly can I redeem my funds?

It depends on the vault:

  • Some offer instant or near-instant liquidity.

  • Others may take several days to settle based on asset redemption timelines.

You’ll always see the estimated wait time before redeeming. Assets continue earning yield during the redemption period.


What is a vault token?

A vault token is an ERC-20 token you receive when depositing into a Nest vault. Its value increases over time as the vault earns yield. You can:

  • Hold it to passively earn

  • Redeem it for stablecoins

  • Use it in DeFi integrations (e.g., as collateral)


Who can access Nest?

Nest is globally available to most users, except those in restricted jurisdictions due to sanctions or regulatory requirements.

Compliance is enforced onchain using Plume’s AML screening system.


Do I need to KYC?

No. Nest uses onchain AML screening—you don’t need to provide personal information or complete KYC.

All wallet interactions are automatically screened without compromising user privacy.


What is Plume, and how is it related?

Plume is underlying onchain infrastructure that powers Nest and enforces AML rules onchain.


Are the smart contracts audited?

Yes. All vaults are built on audited BoringVault smart contracts, with multiple rounds of third-party reviews.


How do I verify vault holdings?

Visit the Nest App for real-time vault data, including:

  • Asset composition

  • APY trends

  • Risk assessments

  • Redemption timelines
