Nomina Whitepaper: Introducing the Nomina Network

News
October 21, 2025

With our rebrand from Omni to Nomina, we introduced the Nomina trading terminal and unveiled $NOM, the primary token powering the newly named Nomina network.

While our name and brand have evolved, the core architecture of Nomina, $NOM token utility, and underlying protocol remain the same and more. Nomina continues to provide Ethereum-native interoperability, designed to deliver sub-second cross-rollup verification through our CometBFT-based consensus architecture.

At the heart of Nomina’s design is a natively secured, externally verified network that derives its cryptoeconomic security directly from Ethereum Layer 1, which further reinforces network security as the ecosystem grows.

Nomina also introduces a universal gas marketplace, enabling users to pay for gas on any rollup with the native asset of their source network or with $NOM directly. This gas abstraction mechanism simplifies the user experience and enhances interoperability across all rollups.
