Better Than Any CEX: Reimagining A DeFi-Native Robinhood
How Defi.App's building the DeFi-everything app to swap, earn, leverage, and lend

In the latest episode of The Edge Podcast, we’re joined by DeFi.app CoFounder Dan Greer to explore how his team is building the most intuitive CEX-like app ever for all our DeFi needs.
Given the legacy issues we’ve seen onboarding new users onchain, Dan’s vision is to simplify the user experience in decentralized finance to something more like a Robinhood-style platform, but without compromising on principles of decentralization, self-custody, or permissionlessness. He shares the how Defi.App is repackaging the best infrastructure and protocols into one seamless app with next-gen trading tools including a multichain swap and Hyperliquid perps.
Plus, he drops some alpha on their upcoming mobile app (currently in beta), their crypto trading AI, designed to assist users with everything from perps trading to DeFi lending, and how to earn a portion of the 1B HOME token rewards in Season 2 since their TGE in June.
Season 2 of Defi App accelerates the $HOME flywheel.
• 1B $HOME for XP holders
• Mobile beta brings Defi App to the masses
• All XP = protocol revenue
• All revenue = $HOME buybacksThe flywheel is accelerating. 👇
