" summary

Nala is building a liquidity and staking DAO for decentralized derivatives that runs a vega node and issues liquid staking sliced into forward tokens so a staker keeps a perpetual ownership token plus quarterly forward tokens that can be sold to lock future staking yield without taking credit risk. Design targets onchain margining and offchain matching, plans audits and a Q1–Q2 launch, and seeks community feedback on gas, distribution and governance mechanics.
