# Nostra > The Crypto Super App Nostra is a decentralized finance protocol built as a crypto super app on Starknet. It lets users lend, borrow, swap, and bridge digital assets from one interface, governed by holders of its NSTR token. Nostra is a decentralized finance protocol operating as a crypto super app on Starknet. It combines a money market, token swapping, cross-chain bridging, and liquidity provision within a single interface. The platform serves users who want to manage multiple crypto activities without switching between separate applications. The protocol addresses the fragmentation common across decentralized finance, where lending, trading, and bridging typically require different tools. Users supply collateral to earn yield, borrow against deposits, and provide liquidity to pools that support the swap function, while a bridge module moves assets between Starknet and other networks. The underlying smart contracts have undergone independent security audits. Nostra's offering includes its money market known as Lend and Borrow, a swap and liquidity pools feature, a cross-chain bridge, and a stablecoin called UNO. Governance operates through a decentralized organization in which holders of the NSTR token propose and vote on protocol decisions, with the entire token supply unlocked at launch. The protocol is used by retail participants as well as other Starknet-based projects that integrate its lending and liquidity infrastructure. - Type: Company - Sector: DeFi - Status: Active - Founded: 2022-08-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/nostra ## Products - [Nostra](https://thegrid.id/profiles/nostra): Nostra is a decentralized finance application on Starknet that combines lending and borrowing, liquidity pools, token swaps, and cross-chain bridging in one connected-wallet experience.
