Company mission

To provide universal access to global financial markets and push the limits of DeFi by making it faster, less expensive, more accessible, and more technologically robust than ever before.

Our take

Asset exchange on Web3 can be a risky process. Bluefin (formerly Firefly) solves this problem by offering a high-performance, decentralised exchange.

Since its launch, Bluefin has partnered with leading trading firms like DRW, and is backed by the likes of Polychain and Alliance. This indicates a considerable demand for secure and cost-effective exchanges on Web3 like Bluefin's. The platform's combination of familiar tools, mobility and low exchange rates has allowed it to scale its userbase rapidly.

New exchanges for Web3 are in constant development, and Bluefin's main challenge will be competing with these rivals. However, its impressive financial backing will help to ensure this is possible.
