Defined

[[PROJECT:1828]] is a multi-chain trading terminal that has been running since 2021, built on the premise that on-chain trading should not require juggling separate tools for discovery, charting, wallet analysis, and execution. The platform covers spot token trading across 48+ blockchain networks, perpetual futures via Hyperliquid, and prediction market contracts through [[PROJECT:1007]] and Kalshi — accessible from a single account, with a unified balance in [[TOKEN:EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v]].

From Analytics Tool to Trading Terminal

Defined launched as a multi-chain token screener and charting tool, offering what traders lacked at the time: consistent, real-time data across DEX pairs on different networks without the need to visit multiple chain-specific explorers. That data infrastructure grew into the proprietary Codex API, which now underlies the trading terminal and is also licensed separately to external platforms including Coinbase, TradingView, Uniswap, and Magic Eden.

The trading execution layer came later, layered onto that data foundation. The result is a platform where the charting, screener, and trading interface draw from the same indexed dataset rather than stitching together feeds from different providers.

Core Trading Products

Spot trading covers tokens on 48+ networks. The platform routes trades through Relay for execution and uses Turnkey for passkey-based account authentication. Spot trading carries a 0.5% fee, per Defined's documentation.

Perpetual futures are accessible directly within the interface via Hyperliquid integration, at 0.025% per trade. This lets traders take leveraged positions without leaving the platform or managing a separate perpetuals account.

Prediction markets connect to Polymarket and Kalshi, allowing positions on real-world events — elections, economic data, sports outcomes — alongside the standard crypto trading interface. The fee on prediction market contracts is 0.25%.

All three asset types are tradeable from a single [[TOKEN:EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v]] balance. The cross-chain architecture routes trades and settles them in USDC on Solana, which the platform describes as removing the need to bridge funds manually when switching between networks or asset types.

Boards: Modular Workspaces

Defined's interface is built around a concept called Boards — customizable, shareable workspaces that aggregate different data views and trading interfaces into a single layout. A Board can combine a trending token chart, a perpetuals position, a prediction market feed, and a portfolio summary in whatever configuration suits the trader.

Boards are saveable and shareable. A trader can create a layout organized around a specific theme — momentum tokens on Base, Solana launchpad activity, or a custom watchlist — and share that Board with others via link. The system also surfaces pre-built Board templates organized around common workflows: "New Pairs," "Momentum," and "Rotation" are examples of trend-signal-oriented configurations the platform offers by default.

Codex: The Data Infrastructure

The underlying data layer is the Codex API, which Defined describes as covering more than 70 million tokens across 80+ networks with sub-second latency from on-chain confirmation to data availability. The API supports WebSocket streaming across approximately 20 endpoints for real-time data, a rate limit of over 1,000 requests per second, and access to a dataset of over 700 million wallet addresses including historical PnL data.

That speed gap — Codex claims under one second from on-chain event to data availability, compared to 10 or more seconds for comparable screener tools — is the technical basis for Defined's positioning as a professional trading tool rather than a post-hoc analytics viewer. The 700 million wallet dataset enables trader discovery features: users can surface wallets with strong historical performance, track their holdings, and follow their activity.

No Paid Trending

One explicitly stated design decision is that Defined does not sell trending placement. Tokens appear on trending lists based on actual on-chain trading volume and activity signals, not paid promotion. The platform distinguishes this from competitors where paid placement is common: a token's position in Defined's trending feeds reflects real market behavior.

This applies across the platform's discovery features — the new pairs feed, the trending token lists, and the launchpad monitoring section all rank by on-chain metrics. The launchpad monitoring feature tracks new token launches across 16 supported launchpad platforms and surfaces activity based on the same organic signals.

Chain Coverage and Solana's Role

Defined supports 48+ networks, with Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Tron, Sui, and Robinhood Chain among those documented. Solana sits at the center of the settlement architecture — cross-chain trades settle in USDC on Solana regardless of which network the underlying token lives on — making it structurally important to the platform's operation beyond just being one of the supported chains.

The platform's community post feeds are live on Solana, Base, BNB Chain, and Ethereum token pages, adding a social commentary layer to the token data views.

Wallet Tracking and Trader Analytics

Defined includes a dedicated wallet analysis section that goes beyond simple balance views. Users can pull full wallet histories, inspect per-token PnL, filter by transaction type, and track performance over time. The trader discovery feature lets users find wallets with documented strong performance and subscribe to their activity — a tool aimed at traders who want to follow smart-money flows rather than independently analyzing all chain activity.

Token security scanning is built into the interface: before trading an unfamiliar token, users can check contract-level red flags and holder concentration data from within the same view.

Mobile and Supporting Tools

Defined ships iOS and Android apps that share accounts, wallets, and portfolio data with the web platform. Positions opened on mobile are visible on the desktop interface and vice versa — the account state is synchronized rather than mobile being a separate stripped-down product.

A Telegram bot provides trading access for users who prefer messaging-app interfaces for mobile execution. Defined also supports automated buy-bot creation within the platform, letting users configure rule-based execution without leaving the interface.

The DefinedXP reward system tracks platform activity across trading, discovery, and referrals. Active traders earn XP that converts to fee rebates and revenue sharing — the specifics of the conversion rates are in the platform's documentation rather than publicly summarized at a high level.

Team and Background

Defined has been operating since April 2021. The company has not announced public funding rounds. Its revenue model combines trading fees across spot, perpetuals, and predictions with commercial licensing of the Codex API to external platforms — a structure where the consumer trading product and the data infrastructure business reinforce each other.
