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