Definitive is an on-chain trading platform that delivers a CeFi-like trading experience within decentralized finance (DeFi). The platform operates in a fully non-custodial structure (not holding user assets) and is live across Solana, Base, HyperEVM, and all major EVM-compatible chains.
Definitive enables retail traders, whales, liquidity funds, and even AI agents to buy and sell any asset on any chain with the institutional-grade execution quality of centralized exchanges (CeFi).
Founded by the team that built Coinbase Prime’s trading engine and managed billions in trades for names like Michael Saylor and Elon Musk, the platform now opens its doors to all DeFi investors, delivering institutional-grade on-chain trading.
