It is exciting to announce that the testnet of @curated_ex is under internal test and will be facing public very soon.
The product is an App Store allowing anyone to publish their financial app on top of shared liquidity for markets.
The underlying infrastructure is a blockchain with an embedded verifiable 200K tps trading engine.
Anyone could create assets on it and anyone could register trading markets on it, FOR FREE.
And curators could choose to list any assets on their trading entry and present the assets to the audience within their apps, earn fees from every trade through it.
Any builders having great product ideas feel free to DM me, we’d love to support you in our ecosystem.
This is the next chapter of financial freedom, stay tuned!

Introducing Curated
A platform where anyone can build an exchange — every exchange shares the same liquidity, and competition happens at asset curation.
The framework behind it, Decentralized Market Formation, is published as a methodology paper on SSRN: https://t.co/NyKZDBWikk
@0xLoki_Zeng Hello, John. How are you doing today? You mailed into my company a postcard a few weeks back, requesting information on penny stocks that had huge upside potential with very little downside risk. Does that ring a bell?
@nevgeniev@star_okx@curated_ex Product is the foundation, operation is another key. Amazon/Shopify is not just about visibility of each store, though it matters. It is also about the supply chain from manufacturers to logistics, which is kinda similar to liquidity in finance.
That is a good point, but why haven’t a lot of people opened their own exchanges already? Because they have no resource of Market Makers, retail distribution, good assets and software, these are resource monopolised by the top exchanges. Technology does not solve the problem immediately, but it builds the platform with all the resources so anyone who wants to build an exchange could get what they need from the platform.
Technically one could always build a supermarket, but before Amazon, very few people could actually do it.
This week, @star_okx's launch of Exchange OS turned "anyone can build an exchange" into an industry-wide conversation. It's a new model genuinely worth taking seriously.
Some friends from the developer community and I have been exploring the same direction for a while now, and we've built an experimental implementation of it:

Curated goes to testnet in June, and we'll open-source it once it's stable.
The structure behind "anyone can build an exchange" actually has a name in market microstructure research: Decentralized Market Formation (DMF). The core problem it addresses is this — why has the long tail of assets (tens of thousands of tokens, RWAs, niche instruments) never had effective price discovery or liquidity? I recently wrote up the full methodology as a paper, posted on SSRN: https://t.co/LRJo7FQzlq
The core difference between Curated's approach and Exchange OS comes down to the nature of the gate.
Exchange OS uses stake and cost as the gate to open a market — each venue's liquidity is isolated, bound to its own chain and token.
Curated uses knowledge as the gate. Many independent Curators can operate at near-zero cost — think of running a storefront on an e-commerce platform. Each Curator uses their own expertise to select assets, competing with one another and earning fees, while sharing the same liquidity and the same decentralized, verifiable infrastructure. The ones who curate well keep their users; the ones who don't get replaced. Liquidity is shared across the whole network, instead of every exchange being its own island. A Curator's client can take the familiar exchange form, or any variant with trading built in — a game, a media platform, an AI app, and so on.
In one line: gate by judgment, not by money.
Step back, and this is a path crypto has been walking all along. I once wrote an essay, "Crypto doesn’t have a technology problem. It has a civilisation problem":
First came the black market (pure on-chain) — no rules, where rug-pulling is the game-theoretic optimum.
Then the feudal empire (CEX) — where listing taste dictates where the entire industry's resources flow.
Then the Wall Street colony — where sovereign capital arrives to extract, and good assets are imported rather than grown from within.
Every one of these forms pays a price for trust and order, and every one of them concentrates power in the hands of a few.
What we want to explore is a democratic republic of crypto capital markets — where the power to open an exchange belongs not to some exchange, some committee, or some capital giant, but to every ordinary person with the judgment to curate, and the willingness to stand behind the assets they list.
The black market fills the institutional vacuum with predation; idealists fill it with faith. We want to try filling the vacuum itself — with something neutral, transparent, and open to everyone.
The world belongs to every ordinary person.
