Infinex
Infinex is a self-custodial crypto "super-app" wallet designed to feel closer to a centralised exchange while users keep keys. It uses passkeys, gas abstraction and aggregated swaps, bridges and perpetuals across many chains.1
History
Infinex emerged from teams connected to the Synthetix ecosystem with a thesis that UX fragmentation—not missing protocols—blocks mainstream onchain finance. It competes with other wallet super-apps such as Defidotapp.
Founders
Kain Warwick is the founder of Infinex, a self-custodial DeFi super-app, and previously founded Synthetix, one of decentralised finance's foundational protocols. An Australian entrepreneur, Warwick launched Synthetix in 2017 (evolving from earlier projects) to enable onchain synthetic assets and later popularised yield-farming mechanics associated with "DeFi Summer."
With Infinex (founded 2023), Warwick's thesis is that UX fragmentation—not missing protocols—blocks mainstream onchain finance. Infinex aims to replace centralised exchanges as users' primary crypto interface via passkeys, gas abstraction, aggregated swaps/bridges and perpetuals while keeping self-custody—competing in the wallet super-app category alongside products such as Defidotapp.
Reception
Infinex attracts attention as Kain Warwick's UX-focused follow-on to Synthetix—betting that passkeys and aggregation can make DeFi feel like a centralised exchange while preserving self-custody.
Products
Passkey accounts, multichain portfolio, Swidge (swap/bridge aggregation), perpetuals integrations, earn vaults and browser-extension access to dapps.
