2021 was quite the year for Clipper! Before we set sail for new DeFi destinations in 2022, let’s take a moment to run through Clipper’s first six months — and our collective accomplishments to date!

A Hearty Toast to the First of Many Clipper Adventures.

Last week Clipper launched its Polygon Community Liquidity Program to the tune of $680,000 in total staked assets. Over 1,300 unique addresses deposited liquidity for the available crypto assets (WETH, WMATIC, WBTC, USDC, USDT, GYEN) and liquidity providers had ample time to allocate funds to their chosen pools.

Since integrating with Polygon just a few weeks ago, Clipper has seen a surge in activity as users take advantage of the L2’s low trading costs and granular swap features on the Clipper DEX. We’re excited to announce that Clipper’s Polygon Community Liquidity Program (CLP) will launch

Clipper's integration with Polygon means retail traders operating on Clipper DEX will now be able to perform swaps at an even lower cost than before.

Once upon a time in a galactic ocean far, far away adventurers dared to explore worlds at the frontiers of civilization in search of true freedom. These adventurers created a new community based on a new decentralized economy. All trade was conducted peer-to-peer, and all adventurers called themselves Pirates. Each

Yesterday Clipper opened liquidity to the community for the first time, with $3 million available across five assets (wBTC, ETH, USDC, USDT, DAI) subject to a USD$10,000 cap per address. Now, the results are in! The entire $3 million filled up with a total of 389 successful deposits

Last week’s DeFi Pirate boat party was rip-roaring fun! Nearly 400 people signed up for the event, and there were plenty of free drinks, food, and swag for all you wonderful degs who showed up. Here are some highlights from the party: There were so many exciting blockchain events

As of today Clipper is fully integrated with 0x! This integration makes Clipper accessible to traders using 0x’s DEX aggregator, Matcha.xyz and other dApps that rely on the 0x API. This integration further cements Clipper as the most retail-friendly DEX in the DeFi seas! 0x is exchange infrastructure

We’re thrilled to announce that Clipper’s long-awaited community liquidity program (“CLP”), will launch on October 5, 2021! To ensure Clipper’s ability to offer the best prices for retail traders, it needs $20M in liquidity. The first $17M was committed by institutional liquidity providers (ILPs) pre-launch. As expected,

Since launching in mid-July, Clipper has proven to be more than seaworthy! And as we mark the first full month since setting sail we’d like to take a look at how Clipper is faring within the motley world of DeFi. Nearly 24,000 trades have already been made on

We’re pleased to announce that Clipper is now fully integrated with the 1inch Network! 1inch is an exchange aggregator that scans decentralized exchanges to find the lowest cryptocurrency prices for traders, and plays a crucial role in providing liquidity across the evolving DeFi landscape. We believe the 1inch Network’

We’re excited to share that Clipper’s developers at Shipyard Software have raised $21M for Clipper! A $4M equity round for Shipyard was led by Polychain Capital, with participation from 0x Labs, 1inch, DeFi Alliance, and Quantstamp, as well as other notable investors such as MetaCartel DAO, Robert Leshner

At Shipyard Software, we know that not all trades are the same, and that every user has their own unique preferences and demands. That’s why we’re building specialized DEXs that are calibrated for specific audiences, starting with Clipper — a DEX designed to offer the best prices anywhere for

We take security seriously, and as Clipper’s beta launch date approaches, we want to run through everything we’ve done to ensure that our users and their funds are fully protected. Clipper has gone through rigorous testing, conducted a bug bounty with ImmuneFi, and been audited by Quantstamp and

We’re thrilled to announce the alpha launch of the Clipper DEX! While other DEXs take a “one size fits all approach” that ultimately leads to a feeding frenzy for whale traders and arbitrage bots, Clipper was based on our belief that retail traders have an urgent need for a

The MissionAcross the board, retail traders are paying unnecessarily high trading fees on established crypto exchanges. At centralized exchanges, they often pay up to 10x what institutional traders are charged  in relative terms. Meanwhile, most DEXs incentivize whale traders by maximizing liquidity in their pools, which reduces slippage on large

A Custom-Built DEX for Retail TradersThe vast majority of existing DEXs are structured in a way that prioritizes high dollar trading volume above everything else. While this may sound nice, in practice this unfocused “growth for the sake of growth” model generates profit-scalping opportunities for bot-driven front-runners and arbitrageurs – often
