Revenue Streams

Revenue is generated from trading fees and loan-origination fees. All fees are governable.

Revenue Distribution

Revenue from Samsara markets is distributed to the following:
  • Directly raising the navToken floor price (Starts at 25%)
  • prANA stakers (Starts at 25%)
  • Buying ANA and borrowing against it to fund platform operations (50%)
The exact split between floor and prANA is adjustable via governance. All components are designed to reinforce the protocol’s structure and create lasting alignment between participants and the system.

The Nirvana Flywheel

ANA is the original Assured Value Asset, backed by a USDC reserve. It has all of the same benefits as navTokens (rising floor price, self-repaying non-liquidatable loans, etc.), but it also has a key advantage. Staking ANA is the only way to earn prANA. prANA is Nirvana’s governance token, which earns a share of protocol revenue from any Samsara market. ANA unifies Nirvana, acting as the value-capture token for the whole ecosystem and the source of all governance power. All platform revenue generated by Samsara will be used to buy ANA.
