Four moving parts. Each is a public on-chain object. Verify any of them yourself.
i. asset
NOVA
Algorand Standard Asset 3032713424 · 6 decimals
A standard fungible token on Algorand. Total supply is finite and was fixed at creation. Asset parameters — including any freeze, clawback, or manager authorities — are public and visible on every Algorand explorer.
ii. pools
LP positions
Tinyman v2 · constant-product AMM
NOVA paired against a basket of high-conviction assets — wrapped BTC and ETH, stables (USDC, EUR), metals (gold, silver), and others. Each pair is a standard Tinyman pool. Anyone can swap, add liquidity, or remove liquidity, subject to pool rules.
iii. vaults
Time-locks
Vestige Vault · protocol id 10
Custody contracts that hold LP positions until a specified unlock date. Sealed at creation. Cannot be withdrawn early under any condition. The lock is enforced by Algorand contract state, not by promise.
iv. fees
Trading fees
0.36% · Tinyman v2 pool fee
Captured on every NOVA pair swap and distributed proportionally to LP shareholders. Vaulted positions accumulate this value passively — each LP share is worth slightly more after every trade.
value flow
How value moves through the engine.
Each trade leaves something behind. The system is the path it takes.
i.
Trade
A user swaps in or out of NOVA on a Tinyman pool.
ii.
Fee
0.36% of the trade is retained by the pool and distributed across LP shares.
iii.
Lock
The vault holding those LP shares accumulates the value. It cannot be withdrawn until unlock.
iv.
Compound
The next trade hits a slightly larger pool. Each trade leaves more behind than the last.
→ the loop runs on every NOVA trade, against every active vault, for the duration of each lock.
parameters
The numbers that define the system.
On the record. Live values draw directly from Algorand and Vestige public APIs. Each number can be independently verified.
The mechanism has clear edges. Naming them protects against the wrong expectations.
not a stablecoin
NOVA's price floats.
Price is set by Tinyman market activity. Vaults lock liquidity, not price. Synova makes no peg, no buffer, no defense of any specific price level.
not a yield product
Vaults don't pay interest.
A vaulted LP position accumulates trading-fee value passively as the share appreciates, but nothing is distributed during the lock. Realized only on renewal or unlock.
not governance
No DAO. No votes.
There is no proposal process. Vault parameters are set at creation and immutable. The only intervention point is the renewal moment at unlock.
not custodial
No treasury controls the vaults.
Vaulted liquidity sits in public Vestige contracts that nobody can withdraw early — not the founder, not Synova, not Vestige. The founder address is on-chain and bonded with rug.ninja, which monitors movement and warns the public if any position is compromised.
not perpetual
Each vault has a finite term.
Lock duration is set at creation, typically four years, publicly visible from the moment of funding. Permanence comes from the renewal cycle, not from any single vault.
not actively managed
No intervention inside an active vault.
No one can rebalance a vault, change its term, or modify its parameters once it's funded. The only knob is whether to renew at unlock.
Synova is a utility token on the Algorand blockchain. Crypto assets are volatile and can lose value. Nothing on this page constitutes investment, financial, or legal advice. Do your own research before purchasing. Live values depend on public API availability and may temporarily fall back to last-known values.
