DEX.cc Launches Non-Custodial Wallet, Pioneering Kaspa’s DeFi Future

Kaspa-Powered DeFi Hub DEX.cc Launches Phase 1 Wallet, Eyes Full Ecosystem Rollout

 

DEX.cc, a decentralized finance (DeFi) hub built natively on Kaspa’s blockchain, has launched its non-custodial wallet — the foundational layer of its plan to become a comprehensive DeFi ecosystem. The wallet leverages Kaspa’s industry-leading 4,000+ TPS throughput and sub-second transaction finality to enable asset transfers costing just $0.0000025, positioning it as a high-efficiency alternative to Ethereum-based solutions.

 

Kaspa’s unique architecture — a decentralized, proof-of-work (PoW) network achieving speeds exceeding Solana — underpins DEX.cc’s value proposition. With current Ethereum transaction fees averaging 0.50 and Solana at 0.001, DEX.cc’s near-zero costs and Visa-level throughput offer tangible efficiency gains for users.

 

The wallet release (Phase 1) precedes a staged rollout of advanced features — including AMM swaps, leveraged perpetual contracts, and hashrate derivatives — slated for activation after Kaspa’s smart contract deployment in Q4 2025. DEX.cc aims to consolidate these services into a single DeFi hub, rivaling incumbents like Uniswap and AAVE in scope while leveraging Kaspa’s speed-cost advantage.

 

Notably, DEX.cc’s ecosystem token, DXCC, will enable holders to participate in governance and benefit from protocol revenue via buybacks and burns. Early investors can access DXCC at initial rates, with tokenomics designed to align long-term platform growth with holder value.

“DEX.cc isn’t just a wallet — it’s the entry point to Kaspa’s DeFi future,” stated a project architect. “We’re enabling what legacy chains can’t: institutional-grade speed at micro-transaction costs.”

 

The wallet is now live for Android, with iOS support available soon. Institutional liquidity partnerships are underway ahead of the full DEX launch.
