The veTokenomics model is one of DeFi’s rare success stories: a framework that’s stood the test of time because it rewards commitment over speculation. It built the foundation for protocols like @CurveFinance, @Balancer, and @Frax to thrive sustainably long after the hype faded. Neverland brings that same proven model to lending, as one of the first protocols to apply full veTokenomics to a money market. Here’s what that means for you: SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE: veTokenomics ties emissions and rewards to long-term participation, creating consistent demand and minimizing dilution. FULL GOVERNANCE CONTROL: veDUST holders decide how 100% of protocol revenue is used - whether to reward lockers, buy back tokens, or incentivize deeper liquidity. FLEXIBILITY BUILT IN: Each veDUST is an NFT: tradable, transferable, and unlockable early with a burn penalty, so users can stay aligned without feeling locked away. We also reduced the maximum lock period from the typical 4 years down to 1 year (because in DeFi, 4 years is a whole generation). veTokenomics works because it replaces constant inflation with intention. Neverland works because we’ve taken that model and made it fit the way people actually use DeFi today. When considering which protocol to use, choose the option with sustainable tokenomics that gives tangible value back to users.
