Prisma Finance
A community-owned suite of DeFi applications on Asentum, the post-quantum blockchain. Swap, lend, and trade perps with contracts written in JavaScript that anyone can read and verify on-chain.
Introduction
Prisma Finance brings the core primitives of decentralized finance — spot trading, lending, and perpetual futures — to Asentum, a Layer-1 designed to stay secure in a post-quantum world. The protocol is built to be transparent and community-first: its native token, PRFI, is earned by using the protocol rather than bought from insiders, and the Prisma Foundation directs the large majority of the ASE it receives back to the community.
The Asentum chain
Asentum is the Layer-1 that Prisma Finance is built on. Three properties make it a good home for DeFi that is meant to last:
- Post-quantum security. Every signature uses ML-DSA-65 (Dilithium3), a NIST-standardized lattice scheme, from the first block. There is no classical signature history to migrate away from later.
- JavaScript contracts. Contracts are plain JavaScript deployed as source and verifiable on-chain by a single hash comparison — no opaque bytecode.
- Native scheduling. The chain can run scheduled calls itself, so liquidations and funding can settle without external keepers or off-chain bots.
Prisma Swap
A constant-product automated market maker (x·y=k) for spot trading and liquidity provision, in the spirit of Uniswap V2. Liquidity providers earn a 0.30% fee on every trade in their pool, plus PRFI airdrop points for the liquidity they provide over time.
Prisma Lend
An over-collateralized money market in the style of AAVE. Suppliers earn a base interest rate plus extra PRFI rewards; borrowers post collateral and pay interest in the borrowed asset, while still earning a share of PRFI. Each asset has its own risk parameters (max LTV, liquidation threshold and penalty, reserve factor) set by governance.
| Asset | Supply APY | Borrow APY | Max LTV |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASE | 10% + 10% PRFI | 14% + 8% PRFI | 70% |
| PRFI | 30% + 15% PRFI | 38% + 10% PRFI | 45% |
Illustrative preview rates. The PRFI component is paid as reward tokens on top of (or against) the base rate.
Prisma Perps
Perpetual futures with leverage up to 20x. Funding and liquidations are settled by Asentum’s native scheduler rather than external keepers. Traders choose a market (e.g. ASE-PERP, PRFI-PERP), a direction (long or short), and a leverage level; the interface shows position size, entry and liquidation price, and fees before opening. Trading volume and open interest earn PRFI airdrop points.
PRFI & tokenomics
PRFI is the governance and incentive token of Prisma Finance. Total supply is fixed at 1,000,000,000 PRFI.
| Allocation | Share | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Community airdrop (Season 1) | 15% | Retroactive, distributed at TGE |
| Liquidity mining & incentives | 30% | Multi-year emissions |
| Treasury (Prisma Foundation) | 18% | Development, security, reserve |
| Core contributors & team | 17% | 12-month cliff, 36-month vesting |
| Ecosystem, grants & partnerships | 12% | Integrations, market makers, audits |
| Early backers / strategic | 8% | 12-month cliff, 24-month vesting |
The airdrop
The community allocation is earned through a points program: providing liquidity on Swap, supplying or borrowing on Lend, and trading on Perps all accrue points, weighted by size and duration, with Early Adopter, Loyalty, and Referral multipliers. At TGE, points convert pro-rata into each participant’s share of the 15% community allocation.
Separately, the Prisma Foundation receives an ASE airdrop from Asentum and directs it to the community: 40% is airdropped to participants alongside PRFI, 40% seeds the PRFI/ASE liquidity pool, and 20% is kept as a lean treasury reserve. See the PRFI Airdrop page for full details.
Security
- Quantum-safe by default. All signatures are post-quantum (ML-DSA-65) from genesis.
- Verifiable contracts. Contracts are plain JavaScript readable on-chain; verifying that deployed code matches the published source is a single hash comparison.
- Reentrancy-resistant runtime. Cross-contract calls on Asentum are asynchronous message-passing, which removes a whole class of reentrancy bugs.
- Audits. Independent audits are planned before mainnet. Until then, treat the protocol as experimental testnet software.
Roadmap
- Now — Testnet. Swap, Lend, and Perps interfaces live in preview; airdrop points begin accruing once contracts are deployed.
- Next — Contracts on testnet. Deploy the ARC-20 token, AMM, lending, and perps contracts; wire the UI to live data.
- Then — Audit & snapshot. Independent audit, points snapshot, and final eligibility criteria.
- TGE & mainnet. PRFI and ASE claim, PRFI/ASE pool launch, and the move to mainnet.
FAQ
Is Prisma Finance live on mainnet?
No. It runs on Asentum testnet first. All figures shown in the app are illustrative until the contracts are deployed and audited.
What is the difference between PRFI and ASE?
ASE is the native token of the Asentum chain. PRFI is the token of the Prisma Finance protocol, earned by using Swap, Lend, and Perps.
How do I earn the airdrop?
Provide liquidity, lend or borrow, and trade perps. These actions accrue points that convert to PRFI at TGE. See the PRFI Airdrop page.
Why JavaScript contracts?
Asentum runs contracts as plain JavaScript in a hardened sandbox, so anyone can read and verify them on-chain without decompiling bytecode.
