The challenge

The product offered advanced DeFi features, but the category spoke in mechanics rather than user benefits. It risked being seen as just another technical DEX instead of a usable trading experience.

What I did

  • Shaped product positioning, go to market strategy and the full user journey.
  • Defined and communicated features including spot trading, DCA/limit orders, margin trading and ETH/BTC cross collateralization.
  • Translated technical mechanisms into user facing messaging and educational content.
  • Coordinated product, branding, community and marketing priorities around launches.
  • Built relationships with KOLs, communities, exchanges and partners while supporting fundraising efforts.
