Perena is a decentralized finance protocol on Solana that combines on-chain stablecoin yield, tranched vaults, real-world-asset access, borrowing, and payment products in a single risk layer. Perena's Twitter Score is 131 out of 1000 (an Excellent rating) as of September 2026, ranking #4,732 (top 1%) among 486,860 tracked accounts.
Perena was founded by Anna Yuan, who previously served as head of stablecoins at the Solana Foundation before launching the protocol. Its core yield token, USD*, is not pegged to $1 in the conventional sense; instead, its value appreciates over time as underlying yield accrues, distinguishing it from traditional stablecoins. Perena's vaults are built on Drift Vault architecture and are structured so that neither the protocol nor its partners hold withdrawal permissions, keeping user funds non-custodial by design.
Perena has attracted backing from a broad set of investors, including Borderless Capital, Binance Labs, Primitive Ventures, Anagram, Maelstrom, Breed VC, Temporal, ABCDE, SevenX Ventures, Pivot Global, Graph Ventures, and MitonC. The protocol has accumulated 42,888 followers as of September 2026 and published 3,453 posts, and has been mentioned by 261 accounts a total of 553 times.
