Mission - Why was Drake built?
The team behind Drake brings a wealth of experience from running a successful hedge fund that excelled in arbitrage strategies on centralized exchanges. Recognizing the potential of decentralized finance, the team sought to expand into decentralized exchanges but found the existing perp DEX landscape lacking in comparison to the experience offered by centralized platforms.
To bridge this gap, Drake was born—designed to deliver a fully onchain experience that meets and exceeds the standards of centralized trading. As Drake continues to evolve, we’re committed to introducing new features that empower both seasoned traders and newcomers alike. Whether you're looking to refine your trading strategies or earn yield through innovative approaches, Drake aims to equip you with the tools to succeed.
