Important notice: Nebula's launch is now slated for Q2 2026.
Official information and announcements will only be released on this webpage and our social media channels.
The Compelling Need for Change
The Crisis of Authority
Today, institutions are perceived as out of balance. Governments and traditional authorities are seen as less competent and ethical than businesses, especially in regulating emerging technologies.
Their approach to innovation is viewed by society as mismanaged, overly politicized, and disconnected from people’s needs and expectations.
These insights are reflected in the 2024 Edelman Trust Barometer which highlights widespread distrust in institutional competence across several key metrics. Trust in leaders to tell the truth is eroding.
Cryptocurrencies at the Crossroads
In the wake of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, Bitcoin emerged as a radical alternative to traditional financial structures. Conceived as a means to liberate society from perceived financial oppression and authoritarian oversight, it embodies the promise of a decentralized, trustless future.
However, skepticism persists towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies at large. According to Edelman’s 2024 Trust Barometer, only 38% of respondents trust cryptocurrencies, while a 2023 Atlanta Fed survey shows that a mere 0.4% use them regularly for payments.
Has the original crypto-anarchist dream failed?
Why Nebula? Stability meets Flexibility
Unlike volatile cryptocurrencies or pegged stablecoins, Nebula leverages a dynamic stability mechanism to maintain its price within a defined corridor, combining algorithmic precision with adaptive resilience.
In Nebula’s system, market interventions are guided by a rigorous model grounded in sound economic and engineering principles. It integrates transparent, auditable real-time data feeds and a design that complements ICP’s technology to prevent discretionary controls and market manipulation.
That's why we define Nebula as a stabilized digital currency.

The Birth of a New Standard
Next Generation Design
Nebula closes the divide between the rigidity of stablecoins and the volatility of other cryptocurrencies, achieving a unique equilibrium between flexibility and strength. This balance is made possible by a groundbreaking stability mechanism, rigorously tested across thousands of simulations.
Designed for adaptability and resilience, Nebula offers a dependable digital asset for the needs of today’s and tomorrow’s digital economy.
An Ecosystem of Synergy
Nebula's Three Value Cycles
The Design — At the core of Nebula's design lies an innovative dual-asset stabilization mechanism, designed to be adaptable and resilient.
The Platform — Nebula will fully leverage the technological power of the Internet Computer (IC) to provide a strong and future-proof foundation for scalable and secure integrations, both up and downstream.
The Impact — Nebula will allow users and developers on the IC to interact in a dynamic network enabling the creation of innovative applications, stimulating growth, and expanding value for the IC ecosystem and far beyond.
Each orbit reinforces the others, leading to compound effects that are the cornerstone of Nebula's design.
Moving Forward
Work on Nebula started in 2024, consolidated during 2025, and is targeting launch during Q2 2026
Design, Testing and Evaluation
Nebula has been actively in the works since March 2024
The first technical paper (62 pages) was released for discussion with selected L1s in September 2024, providing a solid foundation for collaboration and feedback. Simulation tests of the Nebula framework began in mid-October 2024 and have continued at pace since then.

Grant Awarded
Nebula to be Built on the Internet Computer
Following a rigorous two-way technical due diligence process, the DFINITY Stiftung (Switzerland) awarded the Developer Grant 49458239 to commence Nebula's development on the Internet Computer (IC). Its technology stack fully aligns with Nebula's requirements for scalability, security, and decentralization. It will enable Nebula to service anyone building on the IC, its users, and beyond. Our plan is for Nebula to become the new oil that lubricates the cogs of the web3 across multiple blockchains.
Mid-February 2025
From Concept to MVP
Time to Start Building
Initial resources were scoped and identified, with technical and operational roles clearly defined, to efficiently kick-start the MVP building phase on the IC. It involved mapping existing Nebula code (originally developed in Python) to Rust and Motoko, to make Nebula operational on the IC at MVP level. We also undertook work to efficiently scope Nebula's go-to-market (GTM) strategy (including initial discussions towards third-party partnerships) and resource allocation beyond the MVP stage, with the aim to launch by the end of Q2 2026. During this stage, the necessary steps for setting up the legal structure of Nebula's issuing entity were taken.
To October 2025
MVP and DFINITY Grant Milestones Completed
Grant Milestones Completed
The final milestone of the DFINITY Developer Grant was been successfully concluded, with the team delivering on all requirements. Central to this achievement was the deployment of a Proof of Concept (POC) featuring production-ready Motoko canisters. This POC provided an operational demonstration of Nebula's stabilization mechanism via a sophisticated synthetic multi-agent model. By simulating a token trading venue where a human operator can interact and trade against autonomous agents, the team validated the protocol’s responsiveness and stabilization mechanism. This work, alongside rigorous testing in a local NNS replica, confirmed that Nebula functions precisely as designed and aligns with the formal proof in our technical documentation.
Early November 2025
Preparing for the Final Stages
Building Momentum
During this period, we will refine our roadmap for the next phase, transitioning from a Proof of Concept (POC) toward a full-scale production environment. The engineering work completed during the grant phase has addressed approximately 50% of our production requirements. This intensive period provided critical insights that will now inform our strategic planning. We expect this preparatory phase (including resource allocation and team scaling) to conclude by late February 2026.
November 2025-February 2026
The Final Sprint
Completing Nebula's development
This period will be demanding, yet it marks the most pivotal phase in Nebula’s journey. Our focus will be twofold: firstly, we will develop the final critical code components to augment and refine our MVP infrastructure. Secondly, we will accelerate our marketing efforts and strategic partnership development. We anticipate being market-ready by the end of June 2026, followed by a projected soft launch in July with a fully operational token.
