ChimpX today announced the close of a $2.8 million seed round. The round was led by Waterdrip Capital and MetaLabs Ventures, with participation from Mindfulness Capital, NEURALHASH Capital, Marshland Capital, Maven Capital, Attention Venture, and BRINC.
Proceeds will be used to expand ChimpX's core infrastructure on Solana, enhance the Mojo AI execution agent, and support the $CHIMP token launch.
The Problem ChimpX Is Solving
DeFi remains inaccessible to most people. Not because the technology is unproven - yields are real, ownership is real, and the underlying protocols are world class. The problem is UX. Gas tokens on every chain. Nine different apps for one strategy. Forty-five minutes for a $500 trade. The average person tries DeFi once and never comes back.
ChimpX was built to close that gap.
How It Works
At the core of ChimpX is Mojo, an AI execution agent that lets users interact with DeFi through natural language. A user types "optimise yield on my USDC" and Mojo handles the rest - interpreting intent, selecting protocols, constructing the strategy, routing the transaction, and executing on-chain. Automatically. Without requiring the user to manage gas tokens, navigate separate interfaces, or understand the underlying protocols.
A key component is ChimpX's gas abstraction layer, which allows users to pay fees in stablecoins such as USDC or USDT while the system handles native token requirements in the background.
Traction
ChimpX has demonstrated strong organic adoption since launch, with organic user growth
- 56,000+ unique wallets connected
- $3.9M+ in transaction volume
- 100,000+ AI prompts executed
- 15,000+ active users
The platform supports trading, lending, borrowing, bridging, and derivatives - unified under a single AI-driven interface across BNB Chain, with a Solana launch planned for Q2 2026.
What Mojo AI Does Next
The next phase of development expands the intelligence and autonomy of the Mojo AI agent with:
- Natural-language strategy composition - complex intent converted automatically into executable multi-step strategies
- Advanced order automation - limit orders, stop-loss, take-profit, and DCA scheduling
- Risk-aware execution - dynamic position sizing based on real-time market signals
- On-chain intelligence - whale tracking, behavioural signals, and sentiment inputs
- Agent-to-agent transactions - autonomous economic interactions between AI agents
To ensure trust and safety, ChimpX integrates verifiable on-chain agent identity, full auditability of agent actions, user-configurable controls, and a guardrail system preventing prompt injection.
Investor Perspective
"We see AI agents becoming the primary interface for financial systems. ChimpX is early in building that layer for DeFi - where users express intent, and intelligent agents execute autonomously. This is not just a UX improvement, it's a paradigm shift."
- Partner, MetaLabs Ventures
Founder Statement
"Most people who tried DeFi once never came back. Not because DeFi is bad - the protocols are genuinely extraordinary. The experience of using them is just broken. We built ChimpX because we believe that problem is completely solvable. Mojo is the proof."
- Akshay Nassa, CEO & Co-Founder, ChimpX
$CHIMP Token
The $CHIMP token serves as the coordination layer within the ChimpX ecosystem, enabling fee participation, staking, and governance. The token is designed to support sustainable ecosystem growth.
About ChimpX
ChimpX is building Mojo AI - making DeFi simple for everyone. Users tell Mojo what they want in plain English. Mojo handles everything else. No gas tokens. No fragmented apps. Just done.
