Beyond Enthusiasts

- Further adoption requires focusing on the average user who prioritizes ease of use and a sense of security over self-custody.
Infinex Tech Stack
- Infinex prioritizes non-custodial asset management, unlike Binance, which commingles user funds.
- It allows users to deposit and control assets like Litecoin and XRP through smart contracts and passkeys, integrating them into DeFi.
