In the thought-provoking session "NEXUS Final Round #4: Glider" at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2025, Brian Huang, co-founder of Glider, unveils a transformative vision for the future of Decentralized Finance (DeFi). As DeFi experiences what many see as stagnation, Glider presents a paradigm shift by simplifying and expanding the capabilities of DeFi beyond its traditional boundaries. Huang introduces Glider as a platform where investment beliefs are translated into automated, on-chain portfolios, capable of reacting to any trigger, from market movements to social media trends, in a seamless, non-custodial manner.
Glider distinguishes itself from traditional financial applications and other crypto platforms by enhancing asset velocity across protocols and chains, all without the burdensome processes of gas fees, signing, or bridging. Drawing on his team's robust experience, including seasoned engineers from Coinbase, MetaMask, and development histories with Matcha.xyz and Anchorage, Huang reveals impressive metrics, including over 250,000 users on their waitlist and significant transaction volumes. This positions Glider as a frontrunner in innovating the distribution layers within DeFi.
Brian Huang details Glider's strategic partnerships with top industry players like A16Z's CSX program, Coinbase, and Uniswap, underscoring the platform's organic growth and massive user base across Discord and other social channels. The session concludes with a promising glimpse into Glider's strategic roadmap, highlighting their emphasis on leveraging app-driven power in crypto ecosystems and the potential introduction of a token to fuel further decentralization.
