Vision - Napier App

One Interface Does Not Fit All

Napier believes that no single interface can serve every type of user. The Napier Interface provides one access point to the protocol — but not the only one. Users, curators, and developers can choose or build the experience that best matches their needs, risk preferences, and goals.

Open and Neutral Access

The Napier Interface acts as a neutral network explorer for all verified markets and strategies within the Napier ecosystem. It is unopinionated — showing verified data, trust indicators, and yield management options without bias.

• Any page is accessible through a direct link, except where restricted by regulation.

• If a user accesses an unverified market, the interface will display a warning banner.

• All user positions — even those opened through third-party interfaces — are visible in the Portfolio tab, with a warning for unverified markets.

Open, Auditable, and Accessible

The Napier Interface and its infrastructure are fully open-source, ensuring transparency and composability.

• Auditable: All contracts, SDKs, and subgraphs are public and verifiable.

• Buildable: Developers can use Napier’s open SDKs and APIs to create or self-host specialized apps.

• Understandable: Designed to be clear and consistent, avoiding opinionated UX choices.

• Usable: Any user can interact directly with all Napier smart contract functionalities.

• Resilient: Built to minimize trust, security, and liveness assumptions.

Economic Model & Alignment

The Napier protocol distributes revenue to curators — those who create and manage markets. In contrast, the Napier Interface is non-profit, maintaining long-term alignment with users and leaving open space for others to build profitable, branded, or customized products on top of Napier.

In short:

The Napier Interface is a neutral, open, and auditable gateway — a shared foundation where anyone can explore, monitor, and build on the Napier ecosystem.
