Nara's Asset Managers
The Foundation of Trust and Expertise
Nara's ability to securely and effectively access the PayFi market is built on its partnerships with world-class asset managers. At launch, Nara is proud to partner with Mansa and Hercle, two of the leading names in payment financing. These partners bring a wealth of experience, a proven track record, and a deep understanding of the intricacies of the cross-border payments industry.
Our Launch Partners
Hercle
A leading asset manager specializing in trade finance and cross-border payment solutions, with a global network of partners. Hercle has facilitated over €12 billion in annual transaction volume and has coverage across 30+ jurisdictions.
Mansa
A top-tier PayFi manager with a strong focus on emerging markets and a reputation for operational excellence.
Together, our launch partners manage over $12 billion in annual transaction volume and have secured over $60 million in assets for the Nara protocol at launch. This provides a strong foundation for the protocol's growth and ensures that there is a consistent and scalable pipeline of high-quality PayFi opportunities.
Hercle, in particular, has raised $10 million from Tether in 2025 and has financed over $264 million in PayFi solutions for B2B payments, remittances, cards, and forex. This demonstrates the strong demand for PayFi services and the credibility of Nara's partners.
A Commitment to Security and Due Diligence
The selection of our partners is a rigorous and ongoing process. We conduct extensive due diligence on all potential partners to ensure that they meet our high standards for security, transparency, and operational excellence. Our due diligence process includes:
Financial Audits: A thorough review of the partner's financial statements and accounting practices to ensure their financial stability and creditworthiness.
Operational Review: An in-depth assessment of the partner's operational processes, including their risk management and compliance procedures. This includes evaluating their KYC/AML practices and their ability to manage counterparty risk.
Track Record Analysis: A detailed examination of the partner's historical performance, including their default rates and return on investment. We only work with partners who have a proven track record of success.
Legal and Regulatory Review: A comprehensive review of the partner's legal and regulatory compliance. This includes ensuring that they hold the necessary licenses and registrations in all jurisdictions where they operate.
By partnering with the best in the business, Nara is able to provide its users with a level of security and trust that is unmatched in the DeFi space. Our commitment to due diligence and our strong relationships with our partners are the cornerstones of our sustainable yield model.
