🚀 DeFi.app Raises $2M in Seed Funding at $100M Valuation: A Leap Toward Simplifying Decentralized Finance
Decentralized finance (DeFi) just got a major boost as DeFi.app, a platform branding itself as the "Robinhood of DeFi," secured $2 million in seed funding. The round, led by Mechanism Capital, places the startup's token, HOME, at an impressive $100 million fully diluted valuation — even before its official launch.

With a mission to make DeFi accessible to everyone, DeFi.app is rethinking how users interact with decentralized financial systems.

Here’s a closer look at what this funding milestone means and what the company has in store for the crypto world.

💡 What Is DeFi.app?

DeFi.app is on a mission to simplify decentralized finance, offering tools for easy trading while maintaining full self-custody of assets. Think Robinhood’s simplicity meets DeFi — a one-stop shop where users can:
  • Buy tokens on any blockchain
  • Perform one-click cross-chain swaps
  • Access decentralized derivatives markets
  • Explore yield opportunities — all without gas fees or bridges.
🛡️ Key Features:
  1. Gas-Free Transactions: No need to worry about gas fees, thanks to full-chain abstraction.
  2. Enhanced Security: Biometric access and passkeys ensure your assets remain secure.
  3. No KYC Hassles: Seamless onboarding without tedious verification.
"The market needs a 10x improvement in user experience," says founder and Chief Design Officer Dan Greer. "Not another Layer 2 or bridge, but a true app that finally makes DeFi accessible to everyone."
🔍 Unlike many crypto startups, DeFi.app sold just 2% of its total token supply during this round, preserving the majority for public sales and community engagement. Greer emphasized plans to allocate at least 20% of the token supply for community distribution.

🏗️ Building for the Future

DeFi.app’s approach positions it as a competitor to both centralized exchanges and decentralized platforms:

  • Centralized Exchanges (CEX): Dominant but riddled with custodial risks, high fees, and low transparency.
  • DeFi Rivals: Apps like Photon, Pump.fun, and Bonkbot are already generating millions daily.
DeFi.app aims to surpass these benchmarks with its user-centric model, redefining the decentralized trading experience.

📅 What’s Next?

Launch Plans

  • Public Beta: Going live this month, featuring an esports-themed points tournament with rewards.
  • Mainnet Launch: Scheduled for Q1 or Q2 next year, debuting alongside the HOME token.
  • Token Airdrop: Inspired by Hyperliquid’s success, this will reward early adopters.

Growth Ambitions

DeFi.app currently employs 20 people and plans to double its team next year to scale operations.

🌐 Why It Matters

DeFi.app’s bold vision — making DeFi as intuitive as traditional finance apps — could onboard the 98% of crypto users still stuck on centralized exchanges. With a robust roadmap and a strong funding base, it has the potential to redefine the way people engage with DeFi.

Stay tuned for updates on their journey. Who knows? DeFi.app might just be your gateway to effortless decentralized trading.
