We're building on Monad, a performant block chain designed from the outset for high-performance decentralized finance applications. Our team has a legacy of interesting Dapp and DeFi firsts; highlights include:

World's first decentralized mobile messenger, featuring group chats and Publishing Dapp integrations Anonymized push notification system allowing protocols to communicate with address holders anonymously Deployed an ultra gas-efficient Time-Weighted Automated Market Maker protocol on Ethereum L1

We’re funded by Tier-1 VCs, angels, founders, and leading market makers. We are assembling an A-Team of engineers, business development, and designers to help us launch a best in class perpetuals exchange experience worldwide.
