Neemo Finance Review 2026: Liquid Staking on Astar and Soneium

Neemo Finance is a liquid staking and liquid restaking product that gives users tokens representing staked ASTR or restaked ETH, with the aim of using those tokens in other DeFi apps on Soneium. Its main appeal is composability and points rewards, and its main caveat is that the fee terms, audits and team are not clearly published.

Our verdict on Neemo Finance

5.0/10

Neemo Finance suits holders of ASTR or ETH who want a transferable receipt token that can be used in Soneium DeFi apps. Its main strength is that composability and points are clearly described. The main caveat is that fees, audits and team details are not published in the material reviewed, and a 2025 governance proposal about custody of its dApp staking warrants a close read before you commit funds.

What is Neemo Finance?

Neemo Finance is a liquid staking and liquid restaking project that operates across Astar and Soneium. Its listed products include liquid staking tokens such as nsASTR and liquid restaking tokens such as nrETH, which are meant to be used across DeFi protocols on Soneium.

The project appears in public reporting through campaign pages, a loyalty program, a Soneium Genesis Campaign and posts describing a partnership with ether.fi on the Soneium gateway. Those sources describe the product's purpose, but they do not provide a full fee schedule, audit report or team list.

The project also appears in Astar community discussions, including a 2024 grant application on the Astar forum and a July 2025 governance proposal about secure custody of Neemo dApp staking. Readers should read those threads directly rather than rely on a summary.

How Neemo Finance works

Staking means locking a crypto asset to help secure a blockchain, in return for rewards. Liquid staking adds a receipt token: when you stake, you get a token that represents your position and can be moved or used elsewhere while the underlying stake keeps earning. Neemo Finance describes its tokens as the gateway to liquidity on Soneium, meaning the token is meant to be used inside other DeFi apps rather than sitting idle.

Liquid restaking follows the same idea for restaking, where a staked asset is reused to secure additional services. Neemo's listed token nrETH is described as a liquid restaking token. The sources reviewed do not explain the exact restaking route or the services involved, so the mechanism beyond this general model is not confirmed.

Rewards are tracked through points and tiers. According to the material reviewed, staking ASTR and reaching a tier shows up in the app, and campaigns such as the Soneium Genesis Campaign offer boosted points for using listed protocols.

Pros and cons

What we like

  • Clear purpose: liquid tokens let staked assets be used in other DeFi apps on Soneium.
  • Covers two asset types, ASTR through nsASTR and ETH through nrETH.
  • Loyalty and campaign structure gives users a visible way to track rewards.
  • Public campaign pages and social posts describe what the product is for.
  • Appears in public Astar community discussions, which gives some public record to check.

Watch out for

  • The public material reviewed does not publish fees, audit reports or a team list, so the core safety picture is incomplete.
  • Liquid tokens add a layer of smart-contract and counterparty risk on top of the underlying staking or restaking.
  • A July 2025 governance proposal on the Astar forum concerned secure custody of Neemo dApp staking, which readers should look into before committing funds.
  • Most of the visible activity is tied to campaigns and points programmes, so the long-term economics depend on whether those programmes continue.
  • Rewards and tiers depend on the Neemo app and on the programmes running on Soneium, which can change.

Neemo Finance fees

Neemo Finance does not publish a fee schedule in the material reviewed. Costs, if any, would be shown inside the app at app.neemo.finance when minting, staking or unstaking, so check that screen before committing funds.

Is Neemo Finance safe?

The material reviewed does not publish smart-contract audit reports, insurance cover or a detailed custody model, so the security picture is incomplete. Liquid staking and restaking add smart-contract risk and counterparty risk: if a contract or a validator fails, the liquid token may not fully reflect the underlying value.

A July 2025 governance proposal on the Astar forum concerned secure custody of Neemo dApp staking. Before using the product, read that thread and any follow-up in full, and check whether the issues it raised have been resolved.

No regulatory status or licence is stated in the material reviewed. Crypto products are not uniformly regulated, so check the rules where you live. Only stake an amount you can afford to lose.

Who Neemo Finance is for

Neemo Finance is most relevant to users already holding ASTR or ETH who are comfortable with liquid staking and restaking and want to use those positions in Soneium DeFi. It is less suited to readers who need published audits, fee schedules or a named team before depositing.

Neemo Finance FAQs

What is Neemo Finance?

Neemo Finance is a liquid staking and liquid restaking project. Based on the material reviewed, it issues tokens such as nsASTR and nrETH that represent staked or restaked assets, and it works with DeFi protocols on Soneium.

How does a liquid staking token like nsASTR work?

Liquid staking tokens represent a staked position, so you keep a transferable token while the underlying asset earns staking rewards. Neemo's material says these tokens can be used across major DeFi protocols on Soneium, which is the main reason to hold them rather than leave assets locked.

Does Neemo Finance charge fees?

The material reviewed does not publish a fee schedule, so the costs of minting, staking or unstaking are not confirmed here. Check the app itself before depositing, and read any unstaking terms in full.

What are Neemo points and loyalty rewards?

Neemo's material mentions a Loyalty Program with tiers and points. Staking ASTR and reaching a tier is described as the way rewards show up in the app, but the exact tier thresholds are not set out in the sources reviewed.
