Meet @extendedapp , a decentralized perpetuals exchange built by a former Revolut team. Their goal: combine the speed and UX of CeFi with the transparency and self-custody of DeFi. #ExtendedDEX#DeFi
How to create 100 Million dollars (@binance edition)
Step 1:
Tell the community that they will buy SPCX IPO for you if they deposit money
Step 2:
Raise about $557M from the community
Step 3:
Invest all that money in the $SPCX IPO
Step 4:
This is very important: if the IPO does well, then keep all the profits and refund the community { xyz reasons }
If the IPO doesn't do well and opens at breakeven, then give them shares instead of a refund
SPCX IPO opened at 20% higher prices, so @binance kept all the profit and then refunded the money to the community
EZZ $100M PROFITSSSSS
@Ledger “Free from compromise”
Think your team forgot to mention these three incidents:
-Dec 2020: Ledger e-commerce & marketing data breach
-Dec 2023: Ledger Connect Kit frontend hijack
-Jan 2026: Ledger Global-e order data breach
6 months of building. what's next?
TLDR: We focused on putting in place the product, partnership and governance foundations for the next phase of Extended. TradFi partnership, hundreds of new crypto and RWA markets, spot trading and further decentralisation are coming. Our approach to growth remains unchanged: no KOL round, no paid promotions, no paid PR, no podcast sponsorships and no paid market-making arrangements.
Over the past 6 months, the team at @extendedapp has been focused on a fairly simple objective: building the product, infrastructure and partnerships required to support the next stage of growth.
A lot of the work happened behind the scenes but we are now getting to the point where the pieces are starting to come together.
Product
Some of the key items are already live:
- Multi-asset collateral, allowing users to post wBTC, ETH and USDT alongside USDC. Besides expanding the collateral universe, it also unlocks simple cash-and-carry strategies directly on the platform.
- Full email onboarding, including gasless deposits and withdrawals. While not particularly exciting on its own, it unlocks fiat on/off-ramp integrations that are required to onboard non-native users.
- Significant improvements to UI stability, responsiveness and overall user experience, driven largely by user feedback collected over the past months.
Several important pieces are coming next:
- Spot trading, which we view as a table-stakes component of a complete exchange experience and an important UX improvement to multi-asset collateral.
- Opening up our lending infrastructure beyond the exchange itself, allowing users to deposit wBTC, ETH and USDT, borrow USDC and deploy capital elsewhere.
- New trading infrastructure that will unlock hundreds of additional crypto and RWA markets. Internally, this is the product initiative we are most excited about.
Growth
Over the same period, we have spent a lot of time thinking about how Extended should grow.
One principle remains unchanged: we do not pay for KOL promotions, PR, podcast sponsorships or market-making arrangements. This applies equally to cash, tokens and points.
Its a slower path and not the easiest one but over time we have become increasingly convinced that sustainable growth is built on product quality, distribution and community rather than financial incentives.
We have also completed a number of less visible but equally important initiatives:
- Finalised the legal and commercial framework for our first tradfi partnership, which unlocks some of the product initiatives mentioned above and establishes a foundation for future institutional integrations.
- Secured the majority of the long-term partners who will help operate, secure and govern Extended. We are proud of the quality of the organisations that chose to support the vision and will be sharing more details separately.
- Spent considerable time with our largest users and major ecosystem participants to gather feedback and ensure alignment around the long-term direction of the protocol.
- Remained committed to our original targets for early community rewards, despite certain things taking longer than anticipated.
This month is an important one for Extended. It will conclude the team's efforts over the past 6 months and mark the beginning of the next phase: further decentralisation, ecosystem expansion and the transition to a community-owned protocol.

If you are in your 20s, got a few millions liquid and like cars, it’s totally fine to buy a $300k car imo.
People telling you the opposite hate life.
The goal isn’t to become the richest guy in the cemetery.
During 10/10, I got super lucky
I was literally on Hyperliquid on the $XPL chart showing a friend how we jeeted the top
Then suddenly I see $XPL nuking hard
I had no idea the entire crypto market was crashing
I'm like "wait a second"
Very quick I put bids on $XPL at around 25-30c, managed to get filled and dumped a few hours later at around 50c for roughly $900k profit
Today we’re expanding our support for @HyperliquidX by becoming the platform’s official treasury deployer of USDC.
Onchain markets operate 24/7 and require collateral that is always available, instantly transferable, and deeply liquid - USDC delivers exactly that.
Alongside this, we’ve also significantly increased our position of staked HYPE.
