Meet the Team and Mission Behind Teleperps

At the heart of Teleperps lies a bold vision: making perpetual futures (perps) trading as seamless and accessible as sending a message on Telegram. By combining Web3's transformative power with Web2's user-friendly simplicity, Teleperps is pioneering a revolution in DeFi trading.

The Problem: A Fractured Mobile Experience

Today's perpetual DEXs boast growing volumes but fail to address a fundamental issue: poor mobile accessibility.

  • Traders discover signals on their phones, often through Telegram groups or social media.

  • Execution still happens on desktop, leading to missed opportunities, abandoned trades, and user frustration.

For traders, this creates unnecessary friction. For DEXs, it results in lost revenue and limited user retention.

The Teleperps Mission

Teleperps bridges this gap by bringing perp trading directly into Telegram, where traders already spend their time discovering opportunities.

  • No new apps to install.

  • No wallet setup or KYC required.

  • See a signal, click, and execute—without leaving Telegram.

For DEXs, Teleperps acts as a powerful traffic funnel, enabling user acquisition, engagement, and retention in a way no other platform does. By aligning with trader behavior and removing Web3 complexities, Teleperps eliminates friction in perpetual trading, unlocking DeFi’s full potential.

The Team Behind Teleperps

Teleperps is powered by a diverse and experienced team with expertise spanning technology innovation, finance, and academia.

  • Alumni from Meta, Apple, Tesla, Yahoo, Shopify, and Blackberry bring cutting-edge design and development expertise to the platform.
