Team

We are an ex-Revolut team with hands-on experience in launching fintech products for millions of retail users. Our engineering team brings extensive experience in building high-performance trading infrastructure for both traditional finance and centralized crypto exchanges.

The founding team behind Extended includes:

• @rf_extended, CEO: Former Head of Crypto Operations at Revolut, ex-McKinsey.

• @dk_extended, CTO: Architect of 4 crypto exchanges, including recently launched Revolut Crypto Exchange.

• @spooky_x10, CBO: Former Lead Engineer at Revolut Crypto and one of the major contributors behind Corda blockchain.

Our journey as a team began at Revolut, where we saw millions of retail users enter crypto during the last bull run, but also noticed a lack of high-quality products beyond the top exchanges and an overall suboptimal DeFi experience. The collapse of FTX made it clear that change was needed.

We founded Extended driven by the ambition to match centralized exchanges in latency, throughput, and features — while staying true to the principles of self-custody and transparency. Starting with perpetuals, we plan to gradually expand our product offering to parallel leading CEXs and make DeFi trading more accessible and usable for everyday retail users.
