Over the past month and a half, our team has been working tirelessly to build and refine our product. In this time, we’ve shipped our Closed Alpha on TestFlight. Over the coming weeks, we will slowly add new users, continue to fortify our product, and build out the remaining features we have planned ahead of public launch. We are beyond excited to share what we have built with the world soon.
Our team is composed of seasoned operators and engineers from top-tier companies such as dYdX, Uniswap, OpenSea, Square, Two Sigma and more. Most recently, we all worked together at dYdX. Our strong pre-existing rapport has been key to accelerating our progress from day one.
We have over 95,000 sign ups on our waitlist and are just getting started. We’d love for you to be a continued part of our journey.
