What Nuva Labs does

Nuva Labs (legal entity Provenance Blockchain Labs, Inc.) is a blockchain infrastructure SaaS company headquartered in San Francisco that provides tokenization, management, and distribution tools for digital assets to financial institutions and modern fintechs. The company was carved out of the Provenance Blockchain Foundation in December 2024 and operates primarily on Provenance Blockchain while positioning its stack as chain-agnostic. Its core product, the Connect platform, bundles four services — AssetManager (token minting with embedded governing rules and compliance), VaultManager (institutional-grade financial vaults), Data Room (real-time asset transparency), and TreasuryManager (yield-bearing stablecoins and programmable payments) — covering the full lifecycle of a tokenized asset rather than just issuance. Complementary offerings include the NUVA vault marketplace and vertical-specific solutions for structured finance, fund tokenization, tokenized invoices, and collateral lending.

The company pursues a sales-led enterprise go-to-market, with direct field sales to financial institutions and fintechs supported by a website, developer documentation at docs.nuvalabs.com, and PR-driven demand generation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and appears to be quote-based, consistent with enterprise SaaS norms. Customers publicly named include NUVA, Infineo (life insurance tokenization), Bridgetower Capital (AI data authentication and private equity ledgering), and Hirt VC (multi-chain portfolio indexing). Revenue mechanics are assumed to be recurring subscription or platform usage fees, though no revenue figures are disclosed.

Nuva Labs is venture-backed at the seed stage, having closed a $17.65 million seed round in November 2024 co-led by Morgan Creek Digital and GateCap Ventures with participation from Animoca Brands, Blockchange Ventures, CMT Digital, Medalist Partners, Provenance Blockchain Foundation, Serengeti Asset Management, The Operating Group, Thirdstream Partners, and Walden Bridge Capital. The company is led by CEO Anthony Moro, COO Dan Garzia, and CTO Ira Miller, and operates with 1–10 employees. The rebranding from ProvLabs to Nuva Labs was completed alongside the carve-out to establish a standalone identity separate from the foundation.

Direct peers

• Securitize: Leading tokenization platform for securities and funds with built-in compliance, transfer agent, and cap-table tooling. Direct competitor to Nuva Labs' AssetManager and fund tokenization offerings for institutional issuers.
• Polymath: Security token platform providing tokenization infrastructure with compliance features for issuing regulated digital securities. Comparable to Nuva's Connect/AssetManager for institutional token issuance.
• tZERO: Tokenized securities exchange and infrastructure platform with ATS/MTF connectivity. Comparable to Nuva in the tokenized securities and capital markets infrastructure category, especially for fund tokenization.
• Tokensoft: Tokenization platform for issuers of security tokens, funds, and structured products with transfer-agent and cap-table capabilities. Directly comparable to Nuva's AssetManager and Connect platform offerings.

Broad incumbents

• Fireblocks: Enterprise digital asset custody, settlement, and infrastructure platform serving banks and financial institutions. Overlaps with Nuva's TreasuryManager and vault/treasury capabilities as part of a broader institutional digital-asset stack.
• Digital Asset Holdings: Enterprise blockchain and smart-contract platform (Corda lineage) serving capital markets and financial institutions. Broad incumbent in the same permissioned-blockchain-tokenization space as Nuva.

Emerging players

• Centrifuge: Decentralized RWA tokenization protocol focused on invoice and trade finance financing on-chain. Overlaps with Nuva's Tokenized Invoices and collateral lending solutions.
• Maple Finance: Institutional DeFi credit platform enabling on-chain lending with undercollateralized pools. Comparable to Nuva's collateral lending and TreasuryManager offerings for institutional treasury use cases.
• Ondo Finance: Tokenized treasury and yield-bearing product platform for institutional investors. Comparable to Nuva's TreasuryManager and yield-bearing stablecoin capabilities.

Others

• Provenance Blockchain Foundation: Underlying permissioned blockchain from which Nuva Labs was carved out. Strategic partner and infrastructure provider — not a direct competitor, but a key ecosystem dependency.
