A synthetic asset protocol on Solana allowing seamless crypto investing with low fees, deep liquidity, and up to 20x leverage. Funding needed for legal setup and smart contract audit.

Normal is a synthetic asset protocol on Solana enabling seamless investing in any cryptocurrency with low fees, deep liquidity, and up to 20x leverage.

Last year, we started building on-chain crypto index funds to make diversifying easy. After growing to nearly $250k in AUM, we realized there’s a much deeper problem:

🚨Investing in cross-chain assets is impossible without CEXs and bridges

Solana especially has this problem as most of the Top 100 tokens are ERC-20.

Normal enables you to:

  • 📈Trade any crypto without leaving Solana
  • 🧺Invest in full on-chain crypto indexes
  • 🪙Earn yield from cross-chain assets and protocols
  • 💪Short sell and use up to 20x leverage
  • 💻Use synthetic assets across Solana DeFi on Kamino, Sanctum, Symmetry and more
  • 🏧Earn yield by providing liquidity to the Normal AMM or Insurance Fund
  • 🧾Earn $NORM by trading, LPing, or running Liquidator or Market Maker bots
  • 🗳️Vote on DAO proposals using $veNORM (by vote escrowing $NORM)

Grant Goal = $50,000

Fund Usage

  • $30,000 = Foundation incorporation and legal entity set up for protection of the Normal DAO and its members
  • $20,000 = A smart contract security audit in preparation for launch in Q1 2025
