The collapse of FTX not only destroyed the trust of countless investors, but also shook the foundation of the entire crypto market. Many investors no longer have any trust in cryptocurrencies because of this incident, and began to question the reliability of the entire industry. The once glamorous centralized trading platform has become a thing of the past in an instant. This collapse of trust has triggered drastic market fluctuations, and the price of cryptocurrencies has plummeted in a short period of time. The liquidity of the market has almost dried up, and users funds have been damaged on a large scale. Such a catastrophic event highlights the huge risks of over-reliance on centralized trading platforms, and also makes users in the crypto market full of doubts about the security, transparency and regulatory compliance of exchanges.
Therefore, a large number of users began to turn to decentralized trading platforms (DEX) in search of a more secure and transparent trading environment. In this context, the market share of DEX rose rapidly and reached a record high. With the support of the Solana chain, with its high performance and the popularity of the meme ecosystem, the DEX transaction volume on the Solana chain even surpassed Ethereum, becoming one of the most sought-after tracks in the crypto market.
However, the DEX bonus period on the Solana chain has almost been exhausted. The opportunity for early high returns has been firmly grasped by the first players to enter the market, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for latecomers to gain significant benefits from it. In order to stand out in this highly competitive market, it is no longer enough to rely solely on existing projects. You must seize the opportunities of early projects to gain an advantage in the competition.
In such a context, Cube.Exchange came into being. As a project deeply supported by the Solana ecosystem, Cube not only inherits the high performance and stability of the Solana chain, but also creates a safe and efficient trading environment through close integration with the Solana chain.
Cube Exchange was founded by Bartosz Lipiński and Lawrence Wu. Bartosz is the CEO of Cube. Prior to founding Cube.Exchange, Bartosz co-founded B+J Studios, a startup studio focused on Solana, where he raised $10 million and launched successful projects such as SociaFi product Cupcake, gaming facility Raindrops, and decentralized exchange Lollipop. During his tenure at Solana Labs, Bartosz made significant contributions to the development of early DeFi protocols, wallet infrastructure, and NFT standards. This gave Cube unique support and resources from the Solana chain from the outset. Before embarking on a Web3 startup, Bartosz held important positions at BNP Paribas, Citadel, and JPMorgan Chase, focusing on building a strong global trade infrastructure.
Lawrence is the CTO of Cube Exchange. He has expertise in high-frequency trading systems at DRW and development experience at Solana Labs. He has his own standards for complex trading system development and focuses on Cubes trading speed, reliability, and user-oriented design.
Tigran Rostomyan and Lynn Nguyen are the COOs of Cube. Both of them have rich experience in project operation and incubation. Tigran has ten years of AML compliance experience, specializing in blockchain, Defi, Cefi and Web3, and founded AML Incubator, which is committed to solving anti-money laundering and the integrity and security of the financial system, and promoting the regulatory development of blockchain and traditional finance. Lynn Nguyen participated in the construction of the companys infrastructure as a core member of FalconX in the early days, and helped it reach a valuation of US$4 billion in 2022. She also served as the head of settlement at FTX US, playing an important role in developing efficient solutions and cultivating strategic relationships.
It is reported that Cube.Exchange raised US$12 million in its Series A financing, led by 6th Man Ventures, with participation from GSR Markets, Foundation Capital, ParaFi Digital, Susquehanna Private Equity Investments, Everstake Capital and other companies. This round of financing brought Cubes equity valuation to US$100 million.
Last October, Cube.Exchange completed a $9 million seed round of financing, with participation from Solana Ventures, Asymmetry Technologies, Susquehanna Private Equity Investments, Everstake, Foundation Capital, Big Brain Holdings, Third Kind Venture Capital, Arche Fund, WW Ventures and others.
Cube.Exchange: A new player that fills the trust gap
Cube.Exchange breaks through the limitations of traditional centralized platforms in its design. Through its unique non-custodial architecture, it ensures that users digital assets are always in their own hands, providing users with higher security and enabling the platform to retain the advantages of decentralization while maintaining high-performance transactions.
1. Non-custodial design: users control their assets and eliminate the risk of abuse
In traditional centralized exchanges, users need to hand over their assets to the platform for trading, which means that once the platform has problems, such as financial crisis or improper operation, the users assets may face the risk of loss. However, on Cube.Exchange, this problem has been well solved.
Cube uses a technology called MPC Vault, which allows users to keep their assets in their own hands instead of leaving them to the platform. After creating a Cube Client Account, the system will generate a distributed key to protect your assets in MPC Vault. This process involves the user himself, the Cube platform, and an independent third-party guardian, and the three parties work together to ensure the security of the assets.
2. Excellent transaction speed: on par with industry standards, transactions are completed in an instant
After optimization, Cube.Exchanges central matching engine, market connection, web UI and other systems have a transaction speed 40 times the industry standard, with a latency of only 0.2 milliseconds, which ensures that users orders can be completed in a very short time, avoiding the risk that users orders may not be executed in time due to system delays, thereby missing the best trading opportunities.
3. Powerful security mechanism: multi-layer protection to ensure asset safety
On many centralized trading platforms, the security of users assets is often difficult to guarantee, especially when facing hacker attacks. For example, the Mt. Gox hacking incident resulted in a large amount of Bitcoin being stolen. On Cube.Exchange, the situation is different.
Cube.Exchange uses MPC Vault technology to keep users’ assets under their control, rather than entrusted to the platform. At the same time, Cube’s Guardian network provides additional security verification for each transaction, with validators including Solana Foundation, Everstake, etc., ensuring that users’ assets are protected even in emergencies.
Cube is only responsible for matching and settling transactions and cannot unilaterally control the flow of users funds. Through MPC technology, users funds are non-custodial, avoiding the problems of bankruptcy, abuse or bank runs faced by centralized exchanges in the past. Users can withdraw assets from MPC Vault at any time, and these assets are completely owned and controlled by the users themselves, ensuring safety and worry-free.
4. User-friendly design: adapt to the trading needs of various users
Cube.Exchange provides an intuitive user interface (UI), including deep chart trading, order history, and advanced order entry features, while providing a rich API interface, providing developers with flexible tools to help them create a personalized trading experience. Suitable for beginners and advanced developers.
In addition, Cube also provides a one-click bundle feature that can quickly buy your USDT into an asset portfolio with one click, which is very suitable for novices who don’t know how to allocate their investment portfolio. In addition, it can be customized according to your investment preferences and risk preferences. Currently, Cube offers more than 20 different bundles, including DePin, DEX, Games, OG Runes, Dog Money, AI, Memes, etc.
Solana Ecosystem Deep Integration: Efficient Trading, Keeping Up with Market Trends
Cube.Exchange has shown great appeal to projects with strong Solana genes, providing an ideal growth environment for these projects. With the high performance and popular meme culture of the Solana chain, Cube.Exchange not only supports mainstream crypto asset transactions such as BTC, ETH, SOL and BONK, but also brings unprecedented transaction speed and experience.
This deep integration not only makes Cube.Exchanges transaction speed far faster than traditional platforms, but also opens the door for users to participate in popular projects on the Solana chain. As the Solana ecosystem continues to expand, Cube.Exchange will continue to keep up with market trends and continue to launch more trading pairs and innovative services to ensure that users seize the opportunity in the ever-changing crypto market.
Currently, Cube.Exchange is in its early stages of development. In order to attract more users to experience the platform functions, Cube has launched a points reward program. Users can earn points through simple tasks such as daily sign-in, completing KYC verification, and conducting transactions. These points are not only a reward for users participation in the platform, but may also bring more rewards, airdrop opportunities, and even opportunities to deeply participate in the Cube ecosystem.
The platform also plans to obtain operating licenses in more jurisdictions. According to founder Lipinski, Cube has successfully obtained a virtual asset service provider license in Poland and a money service business license in Canada, and complies with all regulatory requirements for spot trading business in Australia. This has laid a solid foundation for Cubes global expansion.
