Taipei, Taiwan – Nekodex, a new on-chain crypto exchange from Perpetual Protocol, is now offering spot trading to users, combining several recent Ethereum usability improvements that reduce the complexity associated with buying and selling cryptocurrencies across multiple blockchains.
Nekodex users can sign up in seconds and start trading without needing to understand or worry about installing wallets, managing gas fees, or bridging between chains. The exchange offers a wide range of tokens from various chains, including Ethereum, Optimism, Base and Arbitrum, and lets users buy and sell with a few taps from their smartphones.
Nekodex positions itself as the first on-chain exchange to combine passkey authentication, account abstraction and chain abstraction, as well as a PWA-based mobile UI. These tools combine to create what the team behind Nekodex are calling “Defi’s iPhone moment”, recalling the iPhone’s innovation combining several existing technologies into a new user experience that ultimately was a hit with a mass audience.
The result hoped for is a new crypto trading experience that is not only easy to use and intuitive, but also gives the end user custody over their funds while greatly increasing security by using passkeys, a new authentication standard which simplifies password management and ensures the credentials can only be used with the correct website. This leads to greatly enhanced security of users’ private keys, preventing loss, phishing attacks and the plethora of social engineering scams that plague the crypto industry.
Nekodex is also Perpetual Protocol’s first foray into the spot trading market. The perpetual futures trading for which the team is originally known will return in a future version, expected to launch in the coming months.
The introduction of Nekodex comes at a time when the demand for more user-friendly and secure crypto trading solutions is at an all-time high. With the complexities of managing multiple wallets, gas fees, and cross-chain transactions often deterring new users, Nekodex aims to lower these barriers, making it easier for people to engage in cryptocurrency trading. By integrating chain abstraction and passkey authentication, Nekodex not only simplifies the trading process but also enhances security measures to protect users’ assets.
In addition to its technical innovations, Nekodex’s PWA-based mobile interface ensures that users can trade on the go without the need for a dedicated app, thus providing a seamless and accessible trading experience. This move aligns with the growing trend of mobile-first approaches in the financial technology sector, catering to a global audience that increasingly relies on smartphones for financial transactions.
The team behind Nekodex believes that their approach can transform the DeFi landscape by making it more accessible and secure for everyday users. By drawing parallels with the revolutionary impact of the iPhone, they highlight their ambition to create a product that not only meets the needs of current crypto traders but also attracts new users who may have been hesitant to enter the market due to its perceived complexity and security risks.
As the crypto market continues to evolve, innovations like those introduced by Nekodex are crucial for its growth and mainstream adoption. The emphasis on user experience, combined with robust security features, positions Nekodex as a strong contender in the competitive crypto exchange market.
