Onchain trading has reached scale, but the experience hasn’t necessarily kept up. Even as decentralized exchanges process billions in daily volume, getting started still requires navigating wallets, seed phrases, and fragmented funding flows. For new users, the gap between interest and first trade remains wide.
At the same time, trading itself is evolving. It is increasingly social and driven by group chats, Telegram communities, and real-time trade ideas shared amongst friends. The tools to act collectively in real time, however, have lagged behind.
The next phase of growth won’t come from more assets or new primitives. Instead, it will come from removing friction at the edges (onboarding, funding, and mobile execution) and tools that support the natural social dynamics of trading.
Definitive’s new mobile app is designed around this shift.
A new model for onchain trading
With Definitive Mobile, the goal is simple: collapse the path from discovery → onboarding → funding → execution into a single, seamless flow.
New users can sign up with email, phone, or social login and are provisioned with a secure, self-custodial wallet instantly. Funding happens just as quickly, with native fiat-to-crypto flows embedded directly into the experience.
The result is a product where a user can go from hearing about an asset to placing their first trade in under a minute.
Under the hood, Definitive preserves everything that makes its trading engine powerful:
A unified balance across EVM and Solana ecosystems
No bridging, gas fees, or approval prompts
Full access to advanced order types, including TWAP/DCA, Limit, Stop Loss, and cross-chain swaps
Performance isn’t the only thing that makes this launch notable. It also introduces a social trading layer.
Trading still moves through group chats, Telegram communities, and small circles of friends, but the tools to act collectively in real time have lagged behind. Definitive Mobile introduces Community Leaderboards, where groups can gather, compete, and execute together in one place.
Users can create private trading competitions, invite friends or communities through unique access codes, and track performance in real time. The result is a more collaborative trading experience, where discovery, coordination, and execution happen side by side.
Building with Privy and Stripe
Delivering this kind of experience requires more than just a trading engine. It requires a fully integrated system for onboarding and funding.
Privy provides embedded wallets and authentication, enabling users to create accounts and securely access self-custodial wallets without having to manage keys directly.
Stripe Onramp enables instant fiat-to-crypto funding through familiar payment methods like Apple Pay, credit, and debit cards.
Together, they remove the two biggest points of friction in onchain trading: getting a wallet and getting funds into it.
“Privy is best-in-class for embedded wallet technology, full stop. Just as important, the team has been a genuine partner. They are always responsive, always invested, and consistently unblocking us so we can focus on the trading experience itself.” — Jai Prasad, Cofounder of Definitive
For teams like Definitive, this unlocks a fundamentally different product surface—one where onboarding, funding, and execution are not separate steps, but part of a single continuous flow.
“Stripe was a no-brainer for us. There’s no partner we trust more to deliver a first-class fiat-to-crypto onramp, especially as we bring a more mainstream audience onto Definitive.” — Daphne Huang, COO of Definitive
What this unlocks
The immediate impact is accessibility, even for advanced trading strategies. By abstracting away wallets and funding complexity, Definitive can reach users far beyond crypto-native audiences, including those accustomed to trading in apps like Robinhood and Interactive Brokers, but who haven’t yet crossed into onchain markets.
Just as importantly, it unlocks new behaviors:
Communities can trade together, not just share ideas
Mobile becomes a primary trading surface, not a limited companion
Advanced trading tools become accessible, without sacrificing UX
The result is not just a better interface, but a different kind of product: one where trading, identity, and coordination converge.
Looking ahead
Definitive’s mobile rollout signals where onchain trading is heading. As onboarding and funding become invisible, the focus shifts to what users can actually do: trade faster, collaborate more easily, and act on opportunities the moment they arise.
Privy remains focused on enabling this shift—providing the wallet infrastructure and authentication layer that make these experiences possible, while partnering closely with teams pushing the boundaries of what onchain applications can look like.
