# Welcome

## Welcome to **Defi App**, a streamlined and modular DeFi platform built to make decentralized finance simple for everyone. 

Defi App is a decentralized trading platform for swapping tokens, trading perpetuals, and earning yield, all from one interface and across EVM and Solana. Whether you are new to DeFi[^1] or an experienced user, we provide the tools and features you need to navigate the world of DeFi effortlessly.

***

### What You Can Do

**Swap Tokens** — Exchange any token across many chains. Cross-chain swaps execute automatically; no bridging, gas token management, or slippage configuration required.

**Trade Perpetuals** — Open leveraged long and short positions with up to 100x leverage on some assets. Defi App now supports US stock perpetuals via HIP-3. Perpetuals trading uses isolated margin and supports multiple collateral types.

**Earn Yield** — Deposit assets into yield-generating strategies. Defi App aggregates opportunities across DeFi protocols and presents them in a unified interface.

**Earn HOME Rewards** — Receive $HOME tokens for trading activity. Stake $HOME to unlock governance rights, fee discounts, and boosted rewards.

**Compete** — Defi App hosts [Battle Royale](https://docs.defi.app/knowledge-base/reference/past-events/battle-royale), a trading competition where participants via realized PnL compete for a share of rewards.

***

### Platform Features

**Gasless Transactions** — Defi App sponsors gas fees across all supported chains. Hold any token and trade immediately without acquiring native gas tokens.

**Unified Wallet Management** — Manage EVM and Solana wallets from a single interface. New users receive both wallet types automatically on signup.

**Cross-Chain Execution** — Swaps between different chains settle behind the scenes. Select your source and destination tokens while Defi App handles bridging and routing.

**Self-Custody** — All assets remain in your wallets. Defi App never takes custody of funds.
