What NUVA Labs does

NUVA Labs (legally Provenance Blockchain Labs, Inc., founded 2018 and headquartered in Monmouth Beach, NJ) provides APIs, managed SaaS, and advisory services for tokenizing and managing real-world financial assets on blockchains. Its core stack is built on Provenance Blockchain, a Layer 1 designed for financial services and RWA tokenization that currently secures more than $16-18 billion in tokenized assets. The platform is organized as a hub-and-spoke architecture: a unified Connect interface provides access to AssetManager (tokenization APIs for fungible markers and non-fungible scopes), VaultManager (customized vault infrastructure with multi-chain readiness and proof-of-reserves), DataRoom (real-time data transparency with institutional access controls), and TreasuryManager (yield-bearing stablecoin treasury optimization at ~3.3% APY via nvYLDS). Supporting APIs include ProvConnect (identity, permissions, sanctions screening), BlockVault (confidential data and custody-aware workflows), Trade & Transfer (markets, orders, payments, settlement), and Blockchain Integration & Data (node RPC and protocol REST). A patent-pending verification framework for NFT-based mortgage loan tokenization is in active use.

The company generates revenue through three streams: recurring API/SaaS subscriptions for the ProvConnect suite and related modules; professional services through its "Go Live Quicker" RWA tokenization advisory offering; and, prospectively, marketplace commissions from the NUVA vault marketplace launching Q4 2025. Go-to-market combines an API-first developer motion (docs.nuvalabs.com, connect.provlabs.com) with enterprise field sales targeting financial institutions, asset issuers, and fintechs, plus channel partnerships through the Nuva Digital subsidiary (a joint venture with Animoca Brands) for multi-chain distribution across Ethereum, Solana, and Base. Named enterprise customers include Figure (SEC-registered yield-bearing stablecoin issuer and board-tied partner), infineo (>$625M on-chain life insurance policies), Black Lake Digital Markets ($25M mortgage loan tokenization), Vesta Equity ($100K on-chain home equity investment), and Bridgetower Capital. In September 2025 the company rebranded from Provenance Blockchain Labs to NUVA Labs following a strategic spin-out from Provenance Blockchain Foundation, and it is backed by institutional investors and board members from Figure, Morgan Creek Capital Management, GateCap Ventures, and the Provenance Blockchain Foundation.
