Introduction

This video features an interview with Jai, co-founder of DEFINITIVE, a decentralized finance (DeFi) trading platform. The discussion centers on DEFINITIVE's capabilities, addressing the challenges of on-chain trading, and its value proposition for various user types, from retail traders to institutional investors.

Key Takeaways

• Institutional-grade DeFi trading: DEFINITIVE provides a platform mirroring the experience of centralized exchanges like Coinbase Pro and Binance, but entirely on-chain. It aims to bridge the gap between the security and features of centralized exchanges and the benefits of decentralized finance.
• Solving DeFi trading problems: The platform addresses issues like fragmented liquidity, complex trading mechanics (gas, slippage, MEV), and the lack of advanced order types commonly found on centralized exchanges (TWAP, limit, stop-limit orders).
• Gas and chain abstraction: DEFINITIVE abstracts away the complexities of gas fees and chain differences, allowing users to seamlessly trade across various blockchains without worrying about technical details.
• Diverse user base: The platform caters to a broad spectrum of users, from retail traders to sophisticated institutional investors and funds, managing millions or even billions of dollars in assets.
• Best execution and reporting: DEFINITIVE's algorithms optimize trade execution by aggregating liquidity from multiple sources (DEXs, aggregators, market makers). Detailed post-trade reports enhance transparency and aid compliance for institutional clients.
• Future plans: Integration with Hyperliquid, support for AI agents trading, launch of a native token (EDGE points program), and improvements to the user experience (PWA, mobile app) are on the roadmap.
