X10

About us

X10 is a self-custody exchange that aims to provide a 10x better experience for every trader while adhering to the principles of self-custody and transparency. We are starting our journey with an MVP featuring perpetuals, the most popular trading product in crypto, but we have the ambition to build a fully-fledged exchange with unified margin, including perpetuals, spot, and an integrated lending market.

Despite the many benefits DeFi offers, the market still prefers to trade on CeFi. Looking solely at trading volumes of perpetuals, the volume in CeFi exceeds by up to x40 the volumes in DeFi. Why so?

There are multiple aspects that matter to both retail and advanced users, and currently, neither CeFi nor DeFi platforms provide all of them together. In short, while CeFi boasts a great user experience, deep liquidity and a wide product portfolio, it falls behind on safety. On the other hand, DeFi ensures self-custody and transparency but falls short in delivering a product portfolio and user-friendly experience comparable to CeFi.

Despite attempts by other DeFi exchanges to bridge this gap and provide a Web2-like experience within the realm of Web3, they have yet to fully meet user expectations. This creates a distinct niche for a Web3 player to emerge, combining the best of both worlds. X10's mission is to become this player.

X10 has successfully raised $6.5 million in funding. The investment round saw participation from Tioga Capital, Semantic Ventures, Cherry Ventures, StarkWare, Cyber Fund, and angel investors including Lido founder and executives from Revolut.
