Noon aims to be chain agnostic. Our vision of a yield-bearing reserve currency is most powerful if Noon can be available as widely, and accessed by as many as possible. But, we need to pick a place to start, and a path for expansion - one that affords us and our users the greatest advantages and benefits. This is why ZKsync Era (Era) is one of our launch chains.

Advantages of Era

We spoke to dozens of chains in the process of making our decision. And it was clear to us fairly early on that Era had to be one of our launch chains.

Technological advantage

We believe that zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs are one of the most remarkable innovations that has been enabled by blockchain technology. Organisations like the U.S. Department of Defense are evaluating the use of ZK proofs to build their new, cutting edge security systems around - and we of course rely on ZK proofs for our market-leading Proof of Solvency. Excitingly, one of the advantages of building a chain around ZK technology is native account abstraction, which can unlock some very interesting opportunities for DeFi users (more to come on this topic in the future).

Building early on Era allows Noon to help the ZK ecosystem grow - and partner with a chain and technology which we believe will be at the forefront of the L2 roll-up landscape. Recent announcements about the Elastic chain, and an increasing number of blue-chip financial institutions choosing Era continue to increase our confidence in our decision.

Architecture and cost

Era’s ZK-rollup architecture allows us to scale Noon while maintaining Ethereum’s security. By bundling transactions off-chain and verifying them on-chain, ZKsync enables fast, low-cost transactions without compromising decentralization.

DeFi and impact

We believe Noon’s intelligence (highest through-cycle yields) and fairness (largest raw and token rewards to users) is most impactful as a foundational part of an ecosystem. Era’s nascent but fast-growing DeFi landscape provides an excellent ground for showcasing the true potential of Noon, and allows opportunities for complementary, rapid growth.

The power of Noon & Era

Launching Noon’s USN and sUSN on Era affords both Noon and Era’s users unique opportunities.

Era users

Noon brings the most intelligent and fair stablecoin to one of the most technologically innovative and promising chains in web3. Era’s users will be able to:

• Participate (heavily) in the largest, fairest stablecoin governance token airdrop by holding USN, and / or

• Access the most intelligent market-leading stable yields by holding sUSN

In addition, by being one of the first chains Noon launches on, Era users will be able to accrue Noon governance token rewards earlier than most others, maximising upside potential.

And as Noon grows, and adds unique deployment strategies on Era, users will continue to gain access to cutting edge yield and reward opportunities.

Noon users

Similarly, Noon users will benefit significantly from USN and sUSN’s early availability on Era. We’re thrilled to announce our inclusion in Era’s Ignite Programme, making Noon among a select handful of top protocols on Era to be able to award our users with ZK tokens. Our participation in Ignite will proceed in stages.

• Feb 3; Select USN and sUSN pools will be incentivised on SyncSwap

• Going forward: We plan to expand opportunities for Noon users to gain Ignite rewards on Era, from lending pools to yield vaults (coming soon)

Noon users will be able to accumulate $ZK rewards at an early stage, benefiting from appreciation as the Era ecosystem grows.

Join Us on Era – Be Part of the Future of DeFi

Noon is just getting started on ZKsync Era, and we’re already unlocking new opportunities for both of our users. With high-yield strategies, deep liquidity, and exclusive access to Ignite rewards, now is the perfect time to get involved.

Explore our incentivized pools on SyncSwap and stay tuned for upcoming lending and yield vaults. The future of a fair DeFi is here, and we are building it together.

Time to leverage, time to trade, time for the era of Noon!
