Nested.fi is a decentralized copy trading platform that supports all major popular blockchains.
You, as a user, have the option to create a portfolio of various tokens and let others copy it. At the time of writing, fees for copying a portfolio is 0.3%, which will be shared between you (As a creator) and the Nested platform.
For an end user, this gives an excellent opportunity to stay passively invested in the market while relying on the strategy of an experienced investor. Users can always see what tokens and what allocation is associated with a portfolio before copying.
Do note: There are no performance fees as of now, and you make money when a user copies your portfolio or stop copying.
Another way it could benefit you is you can always find interesting portfolios, and copy them.

- Well documented project https://docs.nested.fi/general-information/airdrop/genesis-epoch
- Apart from creating an account using Web3 Wallets. Users can also log in using Twitter/Email/phone and add funds using bank transfer (Powered by https://www.mtpelerin.com/) or by Debit/Credit Card. This is useful for a user who is not yet experienced the magic of Web3, and still wants to get exposure to this asset class.
- Nested.fi also lets you create a Web3 wallet, and you can export your private key. Non tech savvy users can simply use web 2.0 login, and never have to worry about security. I think the user experience is top-notch.
- At the time of writing this (March 2023), they have a team of 20 people working on it. 12 of them are engineers.
Security and Audit
A Web 3.0 project that is not audited yet is a risky bet. Hacks are common in the web 3.0 world, and as an investor or user, you should use a platform that is audited by a reputed firm.
- Nested.fi is audited by https://twitter.com/code4rena (Publicly audited)
- https://twitter.com/trailofbits slot is booked for another audit.
- Funds are insured via Nexusmutual.

NST Token usage :
- Governance Stakers of NST can change Nested platform parameters as well as vote and submit proposals to improve Nested Protocol. Governance will be live at Rubik launch.
- Staking rewards There would be two types of rewards: – $NST tokens from the ecosystem’s reserve. – A part of the protocol fees. We are still waiting for final compliance approval.
- Bribes Users will be able to feature portfolios on top of the explorer. They must bribe the governance for that.
- VIP tiers $NST token stakers stand to get a discount on Nested platform fees.
- Premium contents Users can unlock private portfolios by paying a monthly fee to their owners – the same mechanism as on Onlyfans.
- Tips Users will be able to tip other users in $NST tokens.
Note: The more $NST the user is staking, and the longer he/she is doing it, the higher will be the rewards.
The $NST rewards part will be compoundable, but in escrow one year after the user claimed them. If the user wants to receive them now, there will be a penalty fee of 60%. These $NST tokens will be added to the rewards of the next epoch
