About Charged Particles

Charged Particles is a DeFi NFT protocol built on Ethereum and other chains. Its core business is "NFT nesting": users can deposit ERC-20 tokens and NFTs into another NFT, turning it into a "charged NFT" that carries assets. Deposited assets can automatically earn yield via Aave integration, with support for time-locks, programmable interest distribution, and whole-basket transfer on secondary markets. The protocol is deployed on Ethereum, Polygon, Mode, Mantle, and ZKsync, and is fully non-custodial and permissionless.

Its core narrative is turning NFTs from static collectibles into yield-bearing asset containers. The pain points it addresses include: NFTs themselves generating no cash flow, fragmented asset management, and the lack of on-chain savings/trust/vesting tools. Typical use cases include interest-bearing savings NFTs, time-locked vesting capsules, charitable donations, and nested digital gift baskets.

In the past six months (2026-03-13 to 2026-09-13), no significant updates or negative events from official channels were found; the project remains operational, but no notable new features were released beyond routine documentation.
