Nolus is built to work without fragmenting liquidity. Instead of pulling assets into a hub chain first, the protocol connects directly to the network where the liquidity already lives, so it can borrow and trade on an integrated exchange in one flow.
Live networks
Nolus currently runs on Solana. You connect with a Solana wallet, either Solflare or Phantom.
The collateral behind a position is held in an account controlled by the protocol for the life of that position, and assets move between your Nolus account and Solana over the protocol’s transfer channel.
Assets on Solana
The assets available on Solana are cbBTC, HYPE, NLS, SOL, USDC and wETH.
See Fund & Withdraw Assets for the step-by-step transfer flow.
Assets available for leverage
On Solana you can open long positions on cbBTC, HYPE, SOL and wETH, with the down payment made in SOL and USDC, up to 5x.
Short positions are currently available on Solana.
For an asset to be accepted for leverage it needs deep enough liquidity on an integrated exchange and listings on several trading venues, so arbitrage can keep its price in line during sharp moves. Assets with smaller market capitalisation and thin liquidity can become temporarily unavailable.
Assets available in Earn
The pools listed in Earn: SOL on Solana and USDC on Solana. A pool that has reached its Supply Cap stops taking new supply until the cap moves or liquidity is withdrawn, so check the Earn page for what is open right now. See Earn on Idle Assets for how supplying works.
Assets accepted for gas fees
NLS, cbBTC, HYPE, SOL, USDC, USDC_NOBLE and wETH. You can pay Nolus network fees with the Solana assets themselves, so you do not need to hold NLS. Fees for transactions on Solana itself are paid in SOL from your own wallet.
What can change between sessions
The offering is managed by the protocol, so an asset or a whole market can be taken off the pickers without an app update. If that happens, existing positions stay manageable and closable, and withdrawing your own funds is never blocked.
Swap is not part of the app in this release.
For the exact token denominations used on Solana, see the technical documentation at docs.nolus.io.
