Revenue Streams

Revenue is generated from:
  • Trading fees
  • Loan origination fees
  • prANA exercise fees
All fees are governable.

Revenue Distribution

Revenue from Samsara markets is distributed to the following:
  • Directly raising the AVA floor
  • prANA stakers
  • Platform operations
The exact split is adjustable via governance. All components are designed to reinforce the protocol’s structure and create lasting alignment between participants and the system. So if you stake ANA, you earn prANA, which entitles you to both governance and revenue from Nirvana’s native activity.

The Nirvana Flywheel

ANA is the original Assured Value Asset, backed by a USDC reserve. It has all of the same benefits as every other AVA (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 revenue generated by Samsara will be used to buy more ANA, bringing more value to the original Assured Value Asset. image_2025-09-30_14-40-01.png
