About Perena

Perena is the first stablecoin infrastructure project on Solana challenging the definition of money. Perena is building the financial infrastructure of the future—an on-chain, transparent, and programmable alternative to traditional banking. Today’s financial system is fragmented, capital-inefficient, and reliant on legacy infrastructure. Perena addresses these challenges by enabling seamless stablecoin liquidity, digital asset issuance, and real-world asset (RWA) integration, all built on blockchain rails. Perena’s technology allows users and institutions to transact, allocate capital, and manage risk in an open and efficient way. By rethinking how financial markets operate, Perena aims to create a more accessible, resilient, and scalable system for the next generation of digital finance. Perena has launched a multi-token stableswap called Numéraire, and are building a stablecoin launchpad, cross-chain stablecoin infra, and synthetic CDP money. If you're ready to help build the future of money, we’d love to have you on the team.
