Our mission is to empower developers to easily create decentralized internet products, and serve them to billions of users. Over 70,000 developers use thirdweb every month and over 1M unique wallets have interacted with our contracts on mainnet. Companies like Shopify, AWS, Coinbase, Circle, Rarible, Animoca Brands, and so many more use our product to build and power their applications.

Our goal is to simplify DeFi and make its users more profitable with our automated strategies. We build algo-LP strategies and lead the development of V4 DEX hooks.

Our goal is to make DEXs the best way to trade derivatives. Despite the decentralized nature of crypto, centralized derivatives exchanges still remain dominant - they're already fast, familiar and reliable. So far, the DEX trading experience hasn't met that standard. Slippage is high for large orders, transferring funds between platforms is subject to massive gas fees, and low liquidity leads to poor pricing. Drift’s goal is to bring a state-of-the-art trader-centric experience from centralized exchanges on-chain. We're a team of experienced traders and builders from DeFi and traditional finance working together to make this a reality.

Today there are too many products and services which are scattered across the DeFi and Web3 ecosystem. This overwhelms a lot of new users and prevents them from entering the DeFi ecosystem. Platter, therefore, will be building a curated marketplace for DeFi investment and Web3 products. Platter’s platform will allow its users to learn about the DeFi and Web3 ecosystem, invest and track in different types of DeFi products and use various Web3 products on its Platform. Platter aspires to be a Web3 Network State! Platter will be a community-owned, community-governed and community-evolved organisation. The community will choose and bring on new projects to Platter’s platform and take decisions about Platter’s roadmap through governance. At Platter, our focus is to create a delightful user experience and remove all frictions which today prevent users to invest in DeFi and adopt Web3. We are still in the initial development phase and will be publicly releasing our alpha version very soon. Stay tuned by following us here to get an update on our progress!
