We're proud to (re)introduce Nektar Network: the first Decentralized Infrastructure Marketplace -- where multiple actors converge to maximize capital efficiency.

What Problem are we solving?
Nektar solves the fragmentation and inefficiency by creating a unified marketplace that connects hardware providers (GPUs, CPUs, validators), liquidity providers and node operators with networks and delegators.

What's our Solution?
Nektar offers a Decentralized Infrastructure Marketplace that simplifies liquidity management, allows any asset to be used as collateral, and provides permissionless access to operators - creating a unified platform for efficient capital and resource flow across multiple industries.

We’re excited to announce the launch of Nektar Network’s Mainnet: Stage One**—a pivotal first step toward fully realizing our Decentralized Infrastructure Marketplace. The first phase focuses on rolling out the Network flow, providing the initial structure for future phases of the protocol.

We’re proud to welcome @0G_labs, @berachain, @DroseraNetwork, @OraProtocol, @OrderlyNetwork, @gaib_ai, and @autonolas as the first Networks joining Nektar in this exciting phase. Each represents a step forward in building a more flexible, scalable, and secure future for decentralized applications.

**Key Details:

1️⃣ Whitelisted Access for Initial Launch Partners: In this first phase, access is restricted to launch partners through a temporary whitelisting mechanism.

2️⃣ Progressive Rollout of Key Features: Full capabilities of Nektar’s marketplace will unfold in stages:Network Onboarding: Initially, only Networks will be onboarded to validate and enhance the Network’s framework.

Here's what's coming soon ⬇️

- Introduction of Distributed Asset Managers (DAMs): Following Network setup, DAMs will enter to facilitate asset deployment and streamline operations.
- Delegation Activation: Finally, we’ll activate Delegation, enabling token deposits and full participation in Nektar’s marketplace ecosystem.

With each rollout phase, we ensure Nektar’s marketplace is secure and optimized before moving to the next, allowing seamless, efficient participation across Networks, DAMs, Delegators, and Providers.

The wait is over—NET token is live!

The NET token has officially been launched, marking a major milestone for Nektar and its ecosystem.

We’ve allocated 9% of the total supply to airdrop points holders and 4.7% to Ethereum contributors, including some of the following:

- Diva protocol participants
- Gitcoin donors
- ETH pre-genesis solo stakers
- Active DeFi users

This is your reward for supporting Ethereum’s decentralization and public goods!

Please note that almost all allocations initially distributed are subject to some sort of vesting.

More information about the distribution and vesting periods will be provided soon.

Stay safe
