About

Building the Trading App We Wanted

We were tired of choosing between self-custody and a good trading experience. So we built Alpha — professional-grade tools with non-custodial security, designed for mobile from day one.

Why Alpha Exists

The crypto trading landscape is fragmented. You need one app for Solana, another for EVM chains, a separate exchange for perpetuals, and a hardware wallet for security. None of them talk to each other.

Meanwhile, centralized exchanges offer convenience but require you to give up custody of your assets. We have all seen what happens when that trust is broken.

Alpha exists to solve this. One app that trades across 50+ blockchains, offers perpetuals with institutional-grade order types, tracks your portfolio in real-time, and never asks you to give up your keys.

What We Believe

Self-Custody First

We believe you should own your keys. Period. Alpha will never have the ability to move your funds. This is a design decision, not a policy.

Speed Is a Feature

Every millisecond matters in trading. We obsess over latency at every layer — from blockchain indexing to UI rendering at 120fps.

No Compromises

You should not have to choose between professional tools and a mobile-first experience. Alpha delivers both.

Transparency

Fees are shown upfront in USD. Order routing is visible. We do not sell your data, your flow, or your attention.

Engineering

Built with Care

Alpha is a serious engineering effort. Here is what is under the hood.

Rust Microservices

7 independent services (Gateway, Auth, Database, Turnkey, Data, Trading, Balance) built in Rust for maximum performance and safety.

SwiftUI Frontend

Native iOS app built with SwiftUI for smooth 120fps animations, haptic feedback, and seamless gesture navigation.

PostgreSQL + Redis

Battle-tested database layer with 50+ migrations, connection pooling, and Redis caching with intelligent TTLs.

Real-Time Streaming

SSE, WebSocket, and gRPC streaming for live prices, balances, activity, and order book updates.

Multi-Provider Routing

Automatic fallback across Relay, Jupiter, Codex, and Hyperliquid. Best price and speed, always.

Turnkey Integration

Enterprise HSM-based key management. FIDO2 passkeys, EIP-712 signing, and Ed25519 for Solana.
