Cryptocurrency application developer Mass has launched a mobile decentralized finance (DeFi) trading app integrating Synthetix’s leveraged perpetuals platform, Synthetix told Cointelegraph on Dec. 12.&nbsp;
The app aims to combine onchain trading and self-custody with the design features of a centralized exchange app, Synthetix said. The app will let users trade perpetual futures with up to 25x leverage.&nbsp;
Perpetual futures, or “perps,” are a type of derivative that allows traders to buy or sell an asset at a future date with no expiration.

Synthetix hopes that “Mass’s simple onboarding and intuitive mobile app will help Synthetix products reach a broader audience of mobile users, beyond crypto natives,”&nbsp; Benjamin Celermajer, a Synthetix core contributor, told Cointelegraph.&nbsp;
“DeFi exchanges do not take custody of user funds, but are not nearly as user-friendly due to their decentralized architecture,” Synthetix said.
Mass’s mobile app includes features such as “Apple and Google logins, sponsored first transactions, a crosschain gas tank, and on/off-ramp options via SEPA, ACH, [and] credit/debit cards,” Synthetix said in a statement.&nbsp;
The app will be available in the United States, Europe and Asia, Mass told Cointelegraph in a statement.

In October, Synthetix tokenholders <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/synthetix-activist-investor-overhaul-almost-unanimous-approval" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_self" text="null" title="https://cointelegraph.com/news/synthetix-activist-investor-overhaul-almost-unanimous-approval">voted overwhelmingly in favor</a> of a proposed governance shakeup after the protocol fell short of product delivery deadlines, including its planned v3 multi-collateral perpetuals launch on Arbitrum.
In a Sept. 25 SR-2 proposal, Celermajer, a longtime SNX investor, outlined a plan to “completely overhaul” and improve the governance and day-to-day operations of Synthetix.&nbsp;
Since then, Synthetix has taken numerous steps to improve operational efficiency and product marketing reach, including acquiring perps platform Kwenta and leveraged token trading platform TLX.
“These will play a core role in Synthetix’s new focus of bringing high-quality products to market,” Celermajer said.
Synthetix is also reorganizing as a foundation to “streamline and improve our capabilities regarding business activities that require signing contracts with partners,” among other potential benefits, Synthetix <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://blog.synthetix.io/synthetixs-bold-reboot-what-sr-2-means-for-the-future/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank" text="null" title="https://blog.synthetix.io/synthetixs-bold-reboot-what-sr-2-means-for-the-future/">said</a> in an October blog post.&nbsp;
