Nekodex by Perp Labs
Being the Design Engineer in Nekodex

Nekodex is a new application from the Perpetual Protocol team, designed to simplify trading for users in the DeFi space. It allows instant trading of tokens like AI and meme coins on EVM networks, eliminating common pain points such as gas fees, wallet management, and complex bridging through its Chain and Account Abstraction technology.
Lesson Learned
Nekodex was my first deep dive into the web3 space, and it was a masterclass in rapid, user-centric product development. Working on a fast-moving product team taught me the "Silicon Valley" ethos of building with a fail-fast mentality. I learned to use tools like Amplitude to constantly monitor data and validate assumptions through user interviews. This experience gave me a holistic, business-focused perspective on product strategy, teaching me to connect design decisions directly to business outcomes.
