Nevo

Decentralized Donation Pools on Stellar

Nevo empowers users to create secure donation pools on the Stellar blockchain using Soroban smart contracts. Each pool has a unique address, supporting public or private contributions in XLM, USDC, or custom assets. Funds earn DeFi yields until disbursed to verified causes, with full transparency via Stellar's ledger.

What is Nevo?

Nevo is a decentralized platform that reimagines charitable giving through blockchain technology. Create transparent donation pools, accept multiple assets, and let idle funds generate yields while maintaining complete control over disbursements.

Why Soroban?

We built Nevo on Soroban, Stellar's smart contract platform, because it offers:

• Low-cost transactions: ~$0.00001 per transaction
• Lightning-fast finality: 3-5 second confirmation times
• Built-in multi-asset support: Native XLM, USDC, and custom tokens
• Battle-tested infrastructure: Leverage Stellar's proven network
• Smart contract flexibility: Complex logic with Rust security
• Seamless DeFi integration: Access Stellar's growing DeFi ecosystem

Features

• Create donation pools with unique Stellar addresses
• Accept XLM, USDC, or custom Stellar assets
• Public or private contribution modes
• Automated DeFi yield generation on idle funds
• Transparent disbursements to verified causes
• Full transaction history on Stellar's ledger

Why Nevo?

Traditional donation platforms charge high fees and lack transparency. Nevo solves this by:

• Minimizing costs: Stellar's tiny fees mean more money reaches causes
• Ensuring transparency: Every transaction is publicly verifiable
• Maximizing impact: DeFi yields grow donation pools over time
• Building trust: Smart contracts automate fund management
• Enabling accessibility: No traditional banking required
