One of the main problems for crypto and DeFi is that it's too complicated for the masses, hindering its adoption and growth. That is why several consumer apps have emerged to tackle this challenge. Today, let's discuss three major consumer-based crypto products: ➢ @defidotapp ➢ @infinex_app ➢ @UseUniversalX Let's compare these three and how they are offering unique propositions in our brief comparison and the table below ⤵️ ... — 📌 DeFi App DeFi App is positioned as the Crypto Super App that aims to eliminate all complexity related to cryptocurrency. Key features include: - Non-custodial, recoverable, non-KYC wallet powered by @zerodev_app, @dynamic_xyz, and @turnkeyhq - Bridgeless cross-chain swaps by aggregating prominent CA providers such as @RelayProtocol, @deBridgeFinance, and @lifiprotocol - Support for major chains: Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, Solana, Sonic Labs, and Arbitrum - Gasless transactions - Easy on-ramp with Google Pay and Apple Pay integration - DeFi App Perps, powered by @HyperliquidX - More features in development - native mobile apps, earning features, and AI trading - Secured $2M in funding, backed by @balajis, @dcfgod , @Pentosh1, @MechanismCap, and @DeFi_Dad. - Already reached $6.4B in transaction volume within 4 months of launch In my opinion, DeFi App distinguishes itself by focusing on aggregating and optimizing blockchain abstraction apps through a seamless and usable UI/UX for both beginners and experts alike. The key is that the DeFi app aims to onboard new crypto users and simplify their experience, much like Robinhood. $HOME, the native token with a large allocation, will be distributed to the community via multi-season Degen Arena and Kaito AI campaigns. While no specific information about $HOME utilities has been released, I expect revenue sharing will be the main selling point given DeFi App's massive transaction volume. This volume may change as users are currently very active accruing points for the upcoming TGE (Token Generation Event). ... — 📌 Infinex Infinex, founded by @kaiynne—who also established @synthetix_io—aims to be a user-friendly crypto app. It focuses on delivering an accessible everyday crypto and DeFi solution, free from typical complexities. Key features: - Swidge: A feature that allows users to swap and bridge supported assets across networks leveraging cross-chain swap and DEX aggregators like @EnsoBuild, @JupiterExchange, @1inch and more, currently supporting 12 major EVM chains and Solana. - Non-custodial, recoverable, non-KYC wallet enhanced with Passkeys and Biometrics. - Gasless transactions. - Easy on-ramp process. - Multiple security audits by @iosiro_security, @osec_io and @0xMacroSecurity - Support for chain agnostic liquid staking and restaking protocols like @RenzoProtocol, @jito_sol, and more. - Bullrun: A gamified system for earning rewards from Infinex and partner protocols. - According to their website, Infinex has accrued $423M+ in TVL, though there is no public data dashboard to verify total transactions and volume. - The Infinex team raised $67.7 Million through a community Patron NFT sale last year. - Infinex have no token planned and relies on $SNX token for governance purpose, Additionally, Infinex uses Governance Points (XGP) and Patron NFTs as part of its governance and community engagement framework. Recently at Token 2049, Infinex introduced Infinex Connect, a feature that allows users to connect their Infinex accounts to third-party dapps for seamless interaction. This enables users to access their cross-chain portfolio—assets distributed across multiple blockchain networks—and utilize Infinex features like Swidge directly within these dapps. ... — 📌 UniversalX UniversalX, leverages @ParticleNtwrkk chain abstraction stacks, is the premier chain-agnostic trading app tailored for crypto users with a mobile-first approach. As Particle's consumer-focused tool, it leverages the Universal Account (UA) feature to consolidate all addresses and balances, enabling seamless multi-chain trading. This configuration provides a unified interface for both EVM and non-EVM environments, utilizing Universal Liquidity for atomic cross-chain transactions. It also aggregates user balances across multiple chains to meet specific transaction requirements. Key Features: - Non-custodial, non-KYC wallet powered by Particle's UA (can't export the key) - Pay gas and transaction fees in stablecoins, eliminating the need for separate chain assets - Simple on-ramp process - Advanced charting tools with comprehensive token information - Fast execution with built-in MEV protection and real-time radar for trending tokens - Campaigns and rewards for users via Jackpot, such as @MYX_Finance, which recently integrated UA on their perps platform - To date, UniversalX already reached $580M+ lifetime volume with $5.8M+ in fees - UniversalX is integral to Particle's vision for chain abstraction, hence it also powered by $PARTI The approach distinction here is clear. While the protocols mentioned above focus on simplifying the crypto experience, UniversalX aims to streamline trading UX while maintaining the advanced tools and versatility of a trading platform through chain-agnostic experience.
