IPI Labs, the founding team behind Shorter Finance has long been courting attention from VCs eager to support a talented player in the DeFi boom, though this startup has not previously raised funding. It builds this unprecedented infrastructure to bring margin trading and real-time physical delivery to the land of decentralized derivatives trading. Consequently, users could short diversified tokens with the capability to fill orders 100% on-chain.

Since Shorter Finance is EVM-compatible, users of Ethereum, BNB Chain and other EVM-compatible chains will be able to interact with Shorter using familiar tools like MetaMask.

The IPI team comprises analysts, developers, and crypto experts and stands at over 80 at present. “The team is expected to grow to over 150 by the end of this year and potentially as large as 200 by 2023, it wouldn’t take a long time to play out for Shorter”, co-founder Brady claimed. He believes that long-term engagement in a nascent infrastructure will present enormous value when the needs of professional traders are met.

Over time, IPI Labs is increasingly doubling down on its position. Earlier this year, this startup announced it has already started cooperation with some exchanges and wallets. Shorter Finance will be launching its testnet this spring with a mainnet launch shortly thereafter.
