In a keynote presentation at TOKEN2049 Dubai, Kain Warwick, previewed the launch of Infinex Connect – a new way of interacting with dapps. Warwick also announced the Infinex Connect SDK, allowing dapp developers to build a new class of crypto application.
Quick take:
- Infinex Connect enables Infinex users to connect their account, and their cross-chain portfolio, to third party dapps, with new and unique capabilities.
- The first wave of Infinex Connect enabled dapps will be available starting in May.
- The Infinex Connect SDK will be available to developers from June, allowing them to build new features and capabilities in their dapps.
- Launch partners include new ecosystems MegaETH and Fogo, and established dapps and teams from Aave, Ethena, and more.
Next-gen crypto apps
Infinex Connect allows Infinex users to connect their account to third party dapps and use their cross-chain portfolio and popular Infinex features such as Swidge, right inside the dapp.
Connect eliminates long-standing user pain points including unstable wallet connections, browser extensions, transaction signing, gas management, etc. In their place, Connect provides a next-generation user experience with SSO-style authentication, simple policy-based signing permissions, easy access to cross-chain balances, gasless just-in-time swaps, and more.
The first wave of Infinex Connect-enabled apps will be available in May 2025. Launch partners include Fogo, MegaETH, Aave, Ethena, and more.
Infinex Founder Kain Warwick says, “Infinex Connect enables a new generation of crypto apps and experiences, defined by the many, many things users don’t have to do anymore, like juggling multiple wallets, gas, bridging, and all the other grunt work we’ve taken for granted in crypto.”
Fogo Co-founder Robert Sagurton says, “Kain gave me a demo of Infinex Connect and I was immediately won over. Accessibility is the biggest challenge for DeFi. The importance of making Fogo accessible to new users can’t be understated, and Infinex Connect will be a big part of our solution. The UX is meticulously thought out with unnecessary steps and friction abstracted away – this is what the magic of onchain should feel like.”
Onchain command center
When users interact with external dapps using Infinex Connect, activity flows back into their Infinex account. Positions, onchain assets, and rewards are all visible and actionable inside Infinex, replacing the need to jump between multiple apps, serving as a central command centre for users’ onchain activity.
Connect builds on the existing Infinex App and Platform, which includes a flexible smart contract Wallet, onchain recoverable Vaults, and Swidge – a universal swap and bridge feature that supports thousands of assets across 11+ supported networks.
Connect SDK for developers
Also announced was the Infinex Connect SDK, which gives developers a way to natively integrate Infinex account support into their dapps and take advantage of powerful new features. The SDK will launch in private beta in June 2025.
Developers interested in integrating Infinex accounts can request early access to the SDK at infinex.xyz/connect.
