Navigating DeFi can feel like a labyrinth, especially for newcomers. Setting up a Coinbase account? Sure, thatâs manageable if you've gone through a KYC process or logged into any basic platform before. But the real challenge begins after that. Creating an externally owned wallet (EOA), sending funds on-chainâquestions start piling up: Is this the right address? Am I using the correct network? Should I double or triple check before clicking send? The uncertainties and complexities create a significant barrier to entry, overwhelming even the most motivated users.
In this article, Iâm laying out my case for why Iâm bullish on Infinexânot just for beginners, but for seasoned degens, too.
đ What is Infinex
Infinex is a next-generation DeFi interface built by Kain Warwick, the founder of Synthetixâone of Ethereumâs original and most battle-tested DeFi protocols.
At its core, Infinex is a smart account wallet that lets you access DeFi across multiple blockchainsâwithout juggling wallets, seed phrases, or clunky bridges. Think of it as a powerful, all-in-one crypto dashboard that makes investing, swapping, and bridging assets simpleâeven if they live on totally different chains.
Instead of logging in with a wallet extension like MetaMask, Infinex uses passkeysâa secure, seedless login system similar to Face ID or fingerprint authentication. This makes getting started faster and safer, without compromising self-custody.
But the real magic is in the experience:
Letâs say you have SOL on Solana and you want to swap it directly for ETH on Base. Normally, thatâs a multi-step process involving bridging, swapping, and paying gas on multiple chains. With Infinex, itâs a single clickâdone directly from your portfolio dashboard.
Infinex isnât just for EVM chains either. Itâs built to support non-EVM networks like Solana, and plans to integrate Bitcoin and other major L1s soonâcreating a truly unified interface for all of crypto.
đ Infinex Could Onboard the Next Generation of Users
As DeFi and crypto power users, we often overlook how insanely complex onboarding is for newcomers. From buying crypto on a CEX, to creating a non-custodial wallet, understanding how to transfer funds, and finally interacting with dAppsâitâs a confusing, multi-step process. Even though there are plenty of tutorials online, when you step back and really look at it, the experience is overwhelming for someone new. Infinex has the potential to solve this. Its passkey-based login and clean interface remove much of the friction, making DeFi more accessible.
That said, one key piece is still missing: a way for users to easily top up their Infinex wallet with a debit card or bank account. Iâm confident this will be solved in the near future. With that in place, Infinex wonât just simplify onboardingâit will guide users toward real opportunities, thanks to its curated integrations with top DeFi protocols.
đ Infinex Airdrop Potential â and How to Farm It
One thing is that at the moment, there is not too many innovative protocols coming on EVM or other chains, i can name only a handful one and Infinex is one of them, with a current TVL of $443,558,576.
In my opinion it is still a very early play, one reason im bullish on a future infinex airdrop is that I know that Kain is an OG Ethereum builder and has been studying it since the beginning so he definitely know how to execute and I donât doubt that if Infinex launch an airdrop, it will be massive for most of the users, we could potentially see something like Hyperliquid if they are find product market fit.
One bullish aspect of Infinex is that you gain exposure to airdrops from other protocols simply by using the app. This highlights the power of DeFi composabilityâseamlessly integrating with other open-source protocols is something traditional finance simply canât offer.
For example, through my Infinex wallet, Iâve already claimed three airdrops: one from Ethena for depositing stablecoins into the protocol, one from Pudgy Penguins just for being an Infinex user, and another for opening a crate within the first 24 hours of CrateRun.
This kind of opportunity doesnât exist anywhere else. The fact that Infinex offers a unified interface makes it especially valuable for tracking and managing my DeFi positions.
đ§ Final Thought
Overall, Iâm very bullish on Infinex. I believe it has the potential to become a one-stop platform for all DeFi activity. While thereâs strong competition from projects like Abstract and the Base Appâwhich currently have broader appeal to non-crypto usersâInfinex could definitely attract both newcomers and experienced DeFi users with solid execution and effective marketing.
As for a potential token, considering itâs being built by an OG DeFi team that truly understands the market, Iâm definitely keeping a close eye on InfinexâI wonât be sleeping on this one.
