From the same team that built Coinbase Prime’s trading engine, a system responsible for executing billions of dollars of trades for the likes of Michael Saylor and Elon Musk, Definitive is proud to offer every DeFi user access to the most powerful institutional-grade onchain trading platform.

We’ve spoken to a myriad of whales and institutions who want to deploy significant amounts of capital into DeFi, yet they often find their hands tied. All of them faced the same blockers: fragmented liquidity, shallow markets, and a lack of compliance and reporting.
Historically, trade execution services available for DeFi have never matched the power and quality of tooling that are commonplace on CeFi’s exchanges and prime brokers. The lack thereof prevented significant capital from even arriving onchain…until now.
With Advanced Trading, Definitive allows anyone to access institutional-grade trade execution for DeFi. For the very first time on Solana & EVM chains, traders can now place Market, Limit, TWAP and Stop orders between any two onchain assets.
We asked our traders for all the features they desperately wished they had. And we delivered.
Nearly every DeFi user has a regretful anecdote where they had set slippage on their swap to be too high or too low. Set slippage too high and your trade is immediately sandwiched by a MEV bot at your expense. Too low and your trade may revert, wasting precious gas and requiring you to re-quote and resubmit the order. Definitive’s Smart Slippage relinquishes the trader from the burden of the guessing game and automatically discovers the ideal sweet-spot slippage setting to ensure a high success rate for trades while simultaneously defending against all negative impacts and MEV.
Definitive’s Smart Order Router finds the best price for every trade across the full universe of 100+ DEXs and onchain venues as well as 15+ offchain PMMs. We also continuously profile which venues are most reliable and non-exploitative for successful trading and dynamically adjust order routing to ensure the smoothest experience for the end user. Our smart order router is offchain to protect traders’ intent.
Historically, DeFi dApps have missed the mark when it comes to informing users on the performance of their positions. Every Advanced Trading vault on Definitive comes out-of-the-box with best-in-class reporting, including real-time order fill analysis, per-position PnL, and activity history.
Traders using Definitive never have to deal with gassing their Trading Vault. Definitive automatically determines the precise amount of gas execution cost for every trade and sponsors the gas on behalf of the trader. The execution costs are then deducted from the outcome of the trade. With this design, traders experience an uninterrupted “gas-less” trading UX where, with a single signature to activate the trading session, they can put their wallet away and trade seamlessly without additional transaction confirmations or signatures for the remainder of the trade session.
All orders are submitted privately to Definitive’s off-chain Order Management System (OMS) and only executed onchain when traders’ intents are met. Your trade intents are never broadcast to solvers and Definitive does not implement payment for order flow. Our one and only priority is best-in-class execution to the benefit of the trader.
Definitive’s Advanced Trading product is live on Solana, Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, Polygon, and Blast, supports 100+ onchain liquidity venues and 15+ PMMs, and provides immediate access to any asset, including long-tail assets that are not available to trade on centralized exchanges.
