Noble, a platform focused on issuing real-world assets (RWA) and stablecoins, has announced the launch of its new feature, AppLayer. This Ethereum-compatible rollup enables developers to design their own RWA applications and infrastructure.

Noble’s AppLayer aims to facilitate the creation of innovative financial tools that utilize stablecoins, which are digital assets pegged to other currencies such as the U.S. dollar. The rollup will leverage Celestia, a blockchain dedicated to data availability that helps reduce storage expenses for data-heavy blockchain networks. Celestia is integrated with the Cosmos ecosystem and supports the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), enabling compatibility with existing Ethereum smart contracts.

The Noble team communicated through a press release to CoinDesk that its AppLayer rollup is set to launch in the third quarter of 2025.

“Noble plans to unlock its cross-ecosystem potential as EVM applications continue to seek reliable and seamless access to native stablecoin liquidity,” they stated. “Noble’s AppLayer will integrate effortlessly with several top DeFi projects from the Ethereum ecosystem.”

Recently, stablecoins have garnered considerable interest, especially with the U.S. Congress preparing to introduce significant regulations on stablecoins. Companies like World-Liberty Financial, backed by former President Trump, and financial giant Fidelity, along with the state of Wyoming, are also working on launching their respective stablecoins.

Noble launched in March 2023 as an application-specific blockchain or ‘appchain’, designed for stablecoin issuance within the Cosmos ecosystem. Initially, it focused on enhancing liquidity in Cosmos by enabling the issuance of native assets through the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol used by Cosmos networks.

Over time, Noble has expanded beyond Cosmos, connecting with Ethereum and other ecosystems to expedite stablecoin transactions. As part of its growth, in March, Noble unveiled USDN, a yield-bearing stablecoin supported by U.S. Treasury bills.

“Building stablecoin issuance infrastructure over the past two years has given us a deep appreciation for the transformative potential of stablecoins to onboard the world to crypto,” said Jelena Djuric, co-founder and CEO at Noble, in the press release. “The Noble AppLayer, built with Celestia’s technology underneath, finally gives builders the freedom to create highly scalable and efficient stablecoin-native applications.”
