Nucleon is a Liquid Staking protocol that issues liquid receipt tokens against staked deposits, so users earn validator rewards without locking up the underlying asset. It is deployed on Conflux. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file).

Nucleon is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Conflux — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Roughly 100% of its on-chain value sits on just three networks (Conflux, Conflux-pool2, pool2), so a fault on any one of them would affect a large slice of users. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts.
