Other Stablecoins keep your yieldNova funds frontier science
Instead of going to corporate profits, yield from Nova's reserves helps the world by funding frontier breakthroughs with top scientists and labs.
Building a Stablecoin for Frontier Science
Nova directs reserve interest into milestone-based frontier science programs. By reserving NOVA during Genesis, you help engineers, physicists, and science teams secure predictable funding for breakthrough research.
Frontier Disciplines
Quantum materials, AI alignment, biosecurity, and space systems
Institutional Partners
Work directly with labs like USC ISI under advisory oversight
Yield-Backed Research
Your principal stays safe—only yield funds lab milestones
Partner Spotlight
USC Information Sciences Institute
Pilot collaboration: Nova's genesis cohort launches alongside teams at USC ISI, where autonomous science agents and biosurveillance platforms are co-developed with national labs. Genesis reservations underwrite diligence, infrastructure, and researcher time so these programs reach deployment-ready milestones.

How Nova Works
Reserve NOVA by depositing USDC and mint NOGE—an advisory token that lets you vote on which science projects receive yield funding.
Reserve NOVA
Reserve USDC to secure your NOVA allocation. Reservations are non-refundable.
Receive NOGE advisory tokens
Mint NOGE based on your reservation. Use NOGE to vote on which science projects receive yield.
Vote on allocations
NOGE holders advise where yield flows—which labs and milestones get funded first.
Three-phase roadmap
- Phase 1 — Launch (Genesis): bootstrap reserves, fund diligence and audits.
- Phase 2 — Treasury migration: move to diversified USD backing and open mint/redeem.
- Phase 3 — Frontier science allocations: community-guided yield flows to labs worldwide.

Reserve NOVA to fund science
Reserve NOVA with USDC, mint NOGE advisory tokens, and help Nova seed a reserve that backs frontier research milestones.
This is a testnet environment on Ethereum Sepolia.
NOGE tokens grant voting power to advise which frontier science projects receive yield funding.
Smart contract audits are in process and expected as part of the launch. Contracts are open source. Transparency reporting starts with the Genesis pool and expands for NOVA launch.
Reserves earn yield until audits and compliance finish. Genesis reservations will convert to NOVA once the treasury goes live.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when I reserve NOVA?
You deposit USDC to reserve your NOVA allocation. Your reservation is non-refundable and you can claim NOVA 1:1 when the stablecoin launches. You also receive NOGE advisory tokens based on your reservation amount.
What are NOGE tokens?
NOGE (NOVA Genesis) tokens are advisory tokens that grant you voting power to help decide which frontier science projects receive yield funding. NOGE is minted using a sqrt formula based on your reservation, with a cap per address to ensure fair distribution of governance power.
Can I withdraw my USDC reservation?
No. Reservations are non-refundable. Your USDC stays in the Genesis pool to bootstrap Nova's reserves. When NOVA launches, you can claim your NOVA tokens 1:1 with your total USDC reservation.
What happens to the yield during Genesis?
Yield earned on reserved USDC funds engineering, legal work, audits, and initial science initiatives. Protocol costs are kept minimal and transparent—the majority of yield goes to frontier science research.
Is this audited and secure?
Smart contract audits are in process and expected as part of the launch. The contracts are non-custodial and open source. We publish transparency reports covering reserve balances, protocol costs, and science allocations.
How do I get NOVA when it launches?
Once NOVA launches, there will be an easy way to claim your NOVA tokens directly on this site. You'll receive NOVA 1:1 with your total USDC reservation amount.
What networks are supported?
The demo currently runs on Sepolia testnet. Production will launch on Ethereum mainnet with full Aave v3 integration.
