What's CAP?
CAP is a decentralized trading protocol. It's designed to be fast and easy to use by anyone.
Trade directly from your wallet, no account needed. Optionally select leverage up to 50x to multiply potential profits and losses. Trades have 0.1% fee.
Pool ETH or USDC to back trader profits and receive a share of trader losses.
Stake CAP, the protocol's native token, to receive a share of protocol revenue.
CAP is maintained by a community of internet friends. Find us on Discord and Twitter.
