The truth about Snappy Trade, EXPOSED! Why it's not live? Why we taking so long and how we did prevented a disaster. Let's deep dive into 👇 1. The story of the avoided possible disaster Back in March 2026, Snappy Trade was called InNOut and was ready! Aggregating Fulcrom and Moonlander liquidity, it was ready to serve the Cronos ecosystem in the best natural and smooth leverage trading experience; The guts, the feelings, the 6th sense, stopped me of going live with the product. And I was right! After a couple of weeks, Moonlander and Fulcrom started to have troubles and stopped majority of the pairs from trading. If we would've launched? A total disaster, probably ended up with our product closing. What we did? We pivoted! 2. Pivoting to @HyperliquidX and the reason why I think its the best decision Hyperliquid grow into a powerhouse of crypto leverage trading platform; Integrating HIP-3 (commodities and stocks) it transformed it do be even bigger; The house of finances of Web3, integrated with web2 world; And we are gonna build on top of it! The biggest liquidity available, with the best experience in the industry; @cronosapp is gonna leverage them as well So we started from scratch! New infra, new chain, new tech. And that leads us to .... 👇 3. Infra, Tech and the Privy dilemma The go-to industry wise for custodial wallet management is Privy. Privy is backed by Stripe (important) In order to offer NO sign txs, NO gas fees, smooth execution as a product you need a wallet management system; Privy offer that, but at what cost? Well, at first, under 250, 500 users not that much (at first). Based on Wolfswap data, we do pass 500 users on good days. So we would've reached the top tier of payment pretty fast (based on historical data) The biggest problem? Privy start to charge per TX/operation after that. And that's where the catch is. Bills can get insanely huge pretty fast on that type of on-demand service. For the ones building on AWS, Azure know what I'm talking about; And the biggest red flag for me was: if the project doesnt pay the bill, all operations are locked and the platform can work anymore. That's crazy for me, how you could have that? So we had to make a decision: do we go with Privy with the known risks or do we find a solution? Well as crazy idiot monkeys that me and my cofounder are, we decided to build our own! Why? So we can scale without the fear of blocking your money, bad entities exploiting our system and absurd bills in the future We decided to go on a much more robust and scalable pathway: smart accounts. What does it mean? 👉 When you initialize the Snappy account, your smart account, it will automatically create a smart account (a contract) on HyperEVM chain 👉 Only YOU can access that smart account with your wallet, and Snappy Trade platform to execute your trades and do your operations 👉 You can attach a GOOGLE, a DISCORD, a TELEGRAM or even a passkey with your wallet to that smart account in order to have access to Snappy Trade on mobile (for example 😏) This is our way to fix the scalability and performance! And we DID it! All of these are build and ready to go! 4. Concept and brand Snappy Trade is meant to bring a new concept, the concept of speed trading, and a classic way to perform leverage tradings. With all of the assets that Hyperliquid offers, stocks, commodities, you will be able to perform trades in lighting speed transactions: NO signature, NO gas, pure click click done experience. We believe that we can bring new concepts to the market, or at least we can try The brand? A crazy turbo snail, SNAPPY! We resolved the scalability, we resolved the brand, and now we nail the last stuffs on the platform! The launch SHOULD* be around 3 weeks. Anything faster is a big bonus. We will celebrate the launch of Snappy with some special surprises and competitions that we do prepare This is Snappy, and this is its story! Can't wait for it to be live! PS: the same infra will be used on Wolfswap, Launchpad as well to provide click click experiences after Snappy launch
