Welcome to Perena:
Your Risk Layer on Solana

Perena is a decentralized financial protocol on Solana that offers USD STAR (USD*), a yield-bearing asset. USD
* is fully collateralized and earns yield from diversified, real sources such as delta-neutral strategies and secured borrow-lend market positions. Its value grows automatically, making it a simple, secure way to save on-chain.

USD
* is fully collateralized by a diversified portfolio of yield-generating assets and positions, including:

Delta-neutral hedged positions on centralized and decentralized exchanges (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL)

Secured borrow-lend market positions involving on-chain stable coins

Real-world assets
, such as the reinsurance fund by On Re

Perena actively manages asset allocation and diversifies across multiple strategies to reduce single points of failure and optimize for sustainable, consistent yield performance.

Built on Solana's high-performance blockchain, Perena is creating a liquid, yield-bearing digital dollar that anyone can access with a sustainable, risk-managed approach.

Looking ahead, Perena is building a full suite of on-chain stable banking products to expand access to real yield across crypto and traditional finance. The goal is a sustainable financial experience for anyone to transact, save, and invest on-chain.

Perena is founded by a team of builders from the Solana ecosystem with backgrounds in Trad Fi and DeFi. We believe deeply in pushing financial architecture forward — and in doing it with transparency, resilience, and speed.

We're backed by some of the best in the world, including:

Solana co-founders Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal

Investors from Citadel, Jane Street, IMC, and Susquehanna

Borderless Capital, Binance Labs, Primitive Ventures, Maelstrom, Anagram, Breed, and others

Perena was a sponsor of the Colosseum Hackathon Stablecoin Track
, helping fund the next generation of stablecoin projects on Solana. Our growing community spans over 20,000 developers, users, and builders aligned around one goal: reinventing how money works.

• Build and own the frontend applications that bring Perena's financial products to life, from minting and redeeming USD
  * to portfolio dashboards, yield analytics, and on-chain transaction flows, using Next.js and Type Script as the core stack

• Design and implement a scalable component library and design system that ensures consistency, accessibility, and reusability across all Perena surfaces, including public-facing apps, internal operations tools, and documentation

• Integrate directly with on-chain data and wallet infrastructure, building seamless interactions with Solana programs, wallet adapters, and real-time blockchain state to create intuitive user experiences around complex DeFi primitives

• Collaborate closely with protocol engineers, designers, and product to translate sophisticated financial concepts (yield strategies, collateral flows, risk metrics) into clear, trustworthy interfaces that inspire user confidence

• Own frontend performance, reliability, and observability, including optimizing load times, implementing error boundaries, building monitoring and analytics pipelines, and ensuring the app performs under real-world conditions across devices and regions

• Drive data-driven iteration by instrumenting user flows, analyzing engagement and conversion metrics, and shipping improvements that make Perena's products easier and more compelling to use

• 3+ years of professional frontend engineering experience with a strong emphasis on Next.js (App Router) and Type Script in production environments

• Deep understanding of React patterns, server components, client/server rendering strategies, caching, and data fetching in modern Next.js applications

• Experience building and maintaining component libraries or design systems (e.g., using Tailwind CSS, Radix, Shadcn, or similar) with a strong eye for craft and detail

• Familiarity with wallet integration and on-chain data in a frontend context (Solana wallet adapters, RPC calls, transaction signing) or clear ability to ramp fast

• Track record shipping user-facing products in fast-paced environments where you owned…
