Big news.

I've joined @0xVDEX as Head of Growth.

Building the infra that makes global, permissionless finance actually work at scale.

Not another perp DEX. Not another trading venue.

Proven rails. Now scaling.

Closed beta is live.

@doranmaul @defiapp @wormhole @Merovingian0101 Been an awesome experience working with you

[Doran @doranmaul]

Friday was my final day at @defiapp.

Back in May 2024, I was a few weeks removed from a public exit at @wormhole. The tweet went semi-viral. My DMs filled up. One of those DMs was from @merovingian0101 - he'd seen the tweet, said they were building something, thought I should hear about it.

I was talking to four or five teams at the time. Called a friend whose opinion I actually trust and asked for his honest read on each one. He paused on one of them and said the team behind it was legit. Said he trusted them.

That was enough.

I think I literally had one or two interviews with Mero. He went back to the team with my number. A few days later I get a response from him in TG DMs that the offer was approved. I called my wife, she nudged me towards accepting, and the rest is history.

I didn't even meet any of the cofounders - Dan, Ken, Aaron - until I was already onboard.
Totally crypto, I know.

The first thing I noticed about this team wasn't the product. It was the vibe.

A few weeks in, Ken drops a message in the marketing chat - no context, totally unprompted - "Have a date tonight. Usually only try to do the girlfriend thing during bear markets but wish me luck." I remember reading that and laughing out loud and thinking: okay. These are my people.

What followed was the most intense and rewarding stretch of my career.

I joined pre-launch as the first community/growth hire. Built the community, social, and support functions from zero. The X account literally had 1,000 followers when I joined. It peaked at over 200k with me at the helm. I managed all socials from Day 1 and since then touched everything we scaled - multi-video series on TikTok, YouTube, and beyond. Helped scale Defi App to 1M+ registered users, $30B+ in trading volume, and $7M+ in annualized revenue within a few short months of going public with the product. We ran a $1M trading contest at the end of 2025 that was one of the most fun things I've ever been part of executing. I got to work alongside awesome people like @JD0x2e, @bigironchris and @shreddydefi - three of the sharpest people in this space - and learned a ton from everyone along the way.

S/O to Shreddy, @0xUxDesign, and @0xdcota RE: the Miami trip. 🚗

I got to discover and lock in generational talent like Paulo, whose animated video work over the last year set a standard I'm genuinely proud of. And I got to be guided, challenged, and trusted by Ken, Aaron, Dan, Ajdin, and @freshPizzaDev who is just, genuinely, one of the good ones - plus many more names than I have room to share.

I want to give a massive shout out to every member of the community, every KOL and partner I've grinded with, and every protocol team I've had the pleasure of collaborating with. You know who you are.

Defi App is in great hands. The product is real. The team is serious. The road ahead is long and I'm rooting for them hard. Got to work on some things the team will share when ready - grateful to have had a hand in what's coming.

As for me - taking a short break. Summer is coming and it feels freeing to think about enjoying that with my wife, who's a schoolteacher and has summers off.

Then, something new.

I've spent the last two years inside one of the fastest-growing DeFi startups in the space. I've seen what scales, what breaks, what the unglamorous middle looks like, and what it feels like when things actually click. If you're building something and need someone who's lived it - not consulted on it, lived it - my DMs are open.

And if you're early in your career and want to ask about any of it - the wins, the chaos, the stuff that doesn't make it into the highlight reel - AMA. I'll do my best to be brutally honest and genuinely helpful.

Godspeed and God bless.

fin.

So yeah, that’s my S2 Kaito reward allocation, live from @defiapp 🎉
We yapped and Defi App didn’t disappoint.

Claims go live this Friday, with more updates dropping too.

Can’t wait to unlock my rewards, stack more XP and stay ahead for the main Degen Arena S2 airdrop!

[Prepz @lordprepz]

GM Yappers ☀️

It’s been a wild week with Kaito S2 allocations going live on Defi App and some people weren’t happy with the claim criteria…

Good news: @defiapp heard the feedback and upgraded rewards for all Yappers.

For the next claim, your XP will now unlock three pools at once:
- 10k Yapper Reward
- 31k Welcome HOME
- 10k Staking Bonus
So if you’ve got 10,000 XP, that’s 1,000 $HOME from each of the pools.

And here’s the craziest part…
All Yappers just got their XP boosted. Open your app and you’ll see your XP doubled or even tripled

⏳ First claims go live in 24 hours

The grind doesn’t stop here.
Keep farming XP and stay locked in for the Degen Arena S2 mega airdrop.

Few projects I think are actually doing stuff instead of just tweeting:

1⃣ @idOS_network - verify once, stash your data, use it across 40+ chains. Finally no more KYC speedruns every damn app.

2⃣ @kloutgg - trending topics on X become coins. If your meme hits #1, jackpot pool detonates and sends it flying. Degen horse racing.

3⃣ @apecoin - No hashtag spam. Only real signal gets rewarded. Wanna farm harder? send $APE to people using @BankrBot.

4⃣ @blazpaylabs - literally just type “swap eth to usdc” and it does it. AI wallet that actually works.

Which one you fading / aping? 😎

Big update: the $1,000,000 @defiapp Trading Contest will no longer launch tomorrow but next week.

Upgrades are being made to the backend so the leaderboard updates in real time, not with a 48-hour delay.

So don't forget: the top 500 traders will share $1M in $HOME, while 20 VIPs compete for the grand prize on @Polymarket (only 1 seat left).

... and this is a PnL-based contest, not volume farming.
All you need to do is trade Perps on @defiapp using your embedded wallet and your rank will update purely based on profit.

If you’re a real trader, this is your opportunity to prove your skills!

https://t.co/4SqgbkRh0h

[Prepz @lordprepz]

- Locked rewards earn XP multipliers = bigger future airdrops
PnL decides everything.

Rewards will airdropped 7 days after contest ends

To qualify, trade from your Defi App embedded smart-wallet account

Trade smart & climb the ranks.

Is your project token just sitting there?

The biggest challenge on #Solana is not launching a token, but giving it lasting utility. Without a strong economic engine, projects suffer from high volatility, zero holder loyalty, and constant sell pressure.

StakeNova fixes this!

That moment is almost here for Android gang

Defi App hits Google Play on Nov 19 and the first 5k to install + swap are getting Early Adopter rewards.

Waitlist is now open and the spots won’t last.
If you want the VIP badge, sign up now and be ready on Wednesday.

[Prepz @lordprepz]

Defi App just went live on Android and honestly it feels like the moment mobile crypto finally caught up

You now can easily swap 40m+ tokens, trade perps (on @HyperliquidX) and move through the whole app with zero gas, zero signatures, zero delays, with nothing slowing you down.

Also now easier for you to join the $1,000,000 trading contest already running, climb up the leaderboard (top 500) and get paid

Make sure you're among the first 5,000 Android users who install @defiapp and make a swap to lock in the early adopter perks for later.

So if you haven’t downloaded it yet, you’re low-key sleeping on one of the cleanest mobile releases this year

[Prepz @lordprepz]

Earn is now live on @defiapp and this might be the cleanest way to get passive income onchain.

You can now tap into Aave and LST yields from any chain, with any token, directly from the same portfolio where you trade.
Powered by the safest yield sources in crypto with up to 8% APY.

What used to take 10 steps across 3 different tools is now literally one click with zero gas/bridging.

Open Earn, pick your yield, deposit and watch your balance grow.

This is what simple, accessible DeFi is supposed to feel like.
Welcome $HOME 🏠

As a yapper for @defiapp, you’ve got to make sure you’re well-positioned. Which is yapping consistently and stacking XP on the app.

Remember for your swaps and trades to count, you must be in a faction.

By now, most of you already know how to join one via the Degen Arena.
So let’s move to the tricky part: choosing the right faction.

When picking a faction, keep this in mind:
Only the top 50 ranked factions will receive bonus XP (40% of the season rewards) as shown on the lb at the end of the season.

In simple terms:
The higher your faction is ranked, the more bonus XP you guys will earn.

Lastly switching factions is free and you won’t lose the XP you’ve already earned.

Good luck and happy stacking! 💪

[Prepz @lordprepz]

"Why isn't my XP showing?"
If you’ve been yapping for @defiapp and wondering why your XP isn’t moving, here’s what might be going on:

- You haven’t joined a faction yet (XP only starts counting after that)
- You haven’t swapped, traded, or staked $HOME on Defi App yet.
- The leaderboard hasn’t updated yet
- There might be a bug, so give the team a bit of time to sort it out.

Also:
XP from trading perps shows up differently.
You’ll need to claim it manually from the “Perps” section, and it usually takes up to 48 hours to reflect.

So if you're trading the right way, no need to worry as your XP will show up eventually.
