Our Mission

The decentralized finance landscape has evolved rapidly since “DeFi Summer” in 2020, yet core challenges remain-fragmented user experiences, inefficient capital, and limited scalability compared to CeFi incumbents. The Paradex Ecosystem’s mission is to build a comprehensive DeFi ecosystem designed to bridge the gap between CeFi and Defi and usher in the next wave of on-chain adoption.

The Paradex Foundation’s purpose is to grow this mission by empowering our community, developers, researchers and governance contributors to advance the ecosystem's three core components: Paradex Exchange, Native Synthetic Dollar, Paradex Chain.
