Plena Finance
Plena Finance offers a mobile application designed for managing cryptocurrencies and NFTs. The app integrates self-custodial wallet security with centralized platform convenience. Users can engage in various crypto activities, including investments, transactions, and asset swaps, all with a single tap.[1][2]
Overview
Plena Finance, founded in 2021 by Sparsh Jhamb and Yajash Jhamb and headquartered in Singapore, aims to redefine cryptocurrency management by providing users with full custody of their funds while offering a user-friendly experience akin to centralized applications.
Leveraging Account Abstraction technology, Plena enables seamless integration with multiple blockchain networks, allowing users to manage various cryptocurrencies conveniently.
Additionally, automated investments and crypto portfolios simplify investment strategies, catering to both experienced investors and newcomers. With Plena, users can securely navigate the crypto landscape and achieve their investment goals with ease.
Plena Finance currently supports Polygon, Fantom, BSC, Avalanche, and Base chain, with plans for future integration with more blockchain networks.[3][4][5]
Account Abstraction
Account Abstraction represents a significant advancement in blockchain technology, aiming to unify Contract and Externally Owned Accounts to enhance flexibility and security. Traditional Externally Owned Accounts rely on private keys for control, which can pose security risks and lack programmability, leading to challenges in managing transactions.
Through abstracting transaction logic from accounts, Account Abstraction aims to provide enhanced customization and security. Plena Finance adopts this technology with the aim of streamlining blockchain interactions for users. [3][6]
Smart Portfolios
Plena Finance's Crypto Portfolio feature offers users a diverse selection of cryptocurrencies tailored to their investment objectives. Through Account Abstraction technology, users maintain full control over their funds, ensuring enhanced security. With a user-friendly interface, the platform aims to enable users to invest in their chosen coins seamlessly.
For regular investing, Plena aims to provide an Auto Invest feature, allowing users to set up recurring purchases within their portfolio. This feature intends to ensure consistent investments without requiring constant monitoring.
Additionally, Plena offers Public Portfolios managed by experienced traders for users seeking guidance. These portfolios offer curated selections of coins, with portfolio managers incentivized through collected fees.[3][7]
Collateralized Portfolios
Plena Finance introduces Collateralized Portfolios, aiming to enable users to utilize their entire portfolio as collateral for borrowing within the app. This approach reduces risks associated with market volatility by maintaining a diversified collateral base.
Additionally, it offers flexibility in accessing liquidity without selling existing holdings. With security measures, Plena intends to ensure the safe storage of users' collateral, fostering trust and confidence in the platform.[3]
Automated Investments
Plena's Automated Investments, referred to as systematic investment plans (SIPs), aim to offer users a convenient way to preset investment parameters and execute transactions accordingly.
This feature facilitates scheduled purchases of selected tokens without requiring constant monitoring, fostering disciplined investing and mitigating market volatility risks through dollar-cost averaging.
Plena intends to prioritize security and transparency, ensuring authorized transactions within users' portfolios while providing visibility into investment activity.[3]
Chat & Pay
Plena's Chat & Pay feature integrates communication and financial transactions within the mobile app. Users can chat with friends and community groups while conducting crypto transactions, facilitating knowledge-sharing and camaraderie. The feature allows for seamless crypto payments, simplifying bill splitting and investment transfers.
Additionally, users can share trades, promoting collaboration and learning within the community. With dedicated community groups, Plena aims to provide a platform for discussions on market trends and insights, creating an environment for traders to connect and stay informed.[3][8]

Tokenomics
Plena Finance Token ($PLENA)
Plena Finance's token, PLENA, serves as both a utility and governance token, facilitating user engagement and enabling participation in platform governance. With a deflationary model that includes mechanisms for token burns and buybacks, PLENA holders aim to benefit from a stable asset.
The platform allocates a portion of its revenue to token stakers, who also receive PLENA tokens for voting, enabling them to contribute to platform decisions. Additionally, a percentage of revenue is dedicated to token buybacks, aiming to incentivize user activity and foster platform adoption. The remaining revenue supports company operations.
Plena aims to gradually transition towards a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) model, transferring ownership to token holders to collectively govern platform features and policies, enhancing community involvement and decentralization.[3][13][14][15]

The total token supply for PLENA amounts to 1.5 billion tokens, with 19.0% of this supply, equivalent to 285 million tokens, allocated for sale.
