At Nostra, we're not just building: we're pioneering a future where finance is universally accessible, leveraging Starknet's cutting-edge technology and Ethereum’s unparalleled security.

Our journey on Starknet is motivated by a shared vision of innovation and scalability, ensuring that everyone, everywhere, can access liquidity in the most capital-efficient way possible.

Let’s dive into why we are building Nostra on Starknet.

Why Starknet?

Our choice of Starknet is rooted in its advanced validity proofs technology, offering the perfect foundation for scalable DeFi products.

With its high Transactions Per Second (TPS), Starknet is enabling crypto to serve as the new backbone of financial markets.

Starknet's fast finality times outpace other scaling solutions, ensuring transactions are secure and efficient, bringing Ethereum to real-world applications more effectively.

Moreover, Starknet dramatically reduces transaction fees, lowering the barrier for entry and making DeFi accessible to the whole world.

Cairo's innovative programming framework introduces new logic implementation methods, promising a future of more complex and efficient DeFi applications.

This includes account abstraction, which simplifies self-custody, removing the complexity of managing private keys and opening up new DeFi opportunities.

These features align with Nostra’s mission to onboard the next billion crypto users, building the crypto super app on Starknet.

So Far, so good

Nostra was first announced as a money market in August 2022. By December 2022, we released the alpha version of the app.

After upgrading our contracts to Cairo 2.0, we released the full version of the money market in October 2023. We also launched the Nostra Points Program, where active users can collect points based on their interactions within the super app.

We have also integrated with AVNU, making it possible for users to swap tokens at the best price without leaving Nostra.

More recently, in January 2024, we launched Nostra Pools, enabling users to become liquidity providers and earn swap fees.

At the time of writing, Nostra has over 40% dominance of the Starknet ecosystem.

As we get ready for STRK to revolutionize the whole ecosystem and decentralize Nostra’s governance, we’ll be launching a series of features to realize the vision of Nostra as the crypto super app.

The Road Ahead for Nostra

After launching the first five Nostra Pools, we aim to increase our offering. We’ll launch more stable and volatile pools soon.

Nostra is now at your fingertips. With our mobile launch, we’re bringing permissionless access to the crypto financial system into the palm of your hand.

Besides lending, borrowing, providing liquidity, and swapping, our users will soon be able to bridge funds to and from Starknet.

All of these without ever leaving Nostra!Each of these releases is designed to solidify our position as the crypto super app, making DeFi more accessible and user-friendly.

Decentralizing Nostra

Our engagement with Starknet goes beyond technology: we believe that network users should own Nostra and participate in its direction.

Every Nostra user and community member will have a voice in shaping Nostra's future, ensuring that we remain aligned with our users' needs and the evolving DeFi landscape.

We're investing in the ecosystem's growth, supporting developers, integrating with other protocols, and encouraging innovation.
