🐼 Cede Labs

At Cede Labs, we build trading products. We've been profitable since late 2024 and are backed by GSR and Anagram.

Our mission is to make trading fair for retail traders. After five years building trading infrastructure, we're building the world's largest trading competition platform:

• Cede Hub, a multi-exchange trading platform that rewards users for their trading activity. It has generated over $2B in exchange volume in 2 years, for clients including Kraken, Crypto.com, and Bitpanda, and token projects like KII, AVA, BMT, and CP. Website (restricted in the US and France).
• Cede Arena, where trading becomes a competitive sport with leaderboards, tournaments, and real rewards. We bring more fairness in trading by making it PvP. Everyone trades under identical conditions: no insider info, no influence, no execution advantages. Website.

We’re a passionate team of 13 and we ship fast.

We're at ~$300K in monthly revenue and entering a new growth phase. Cede Hub still has significant market share to capture, and Cede Arena has just launched, with over 9,000 battles already played. Our goal is to pass $10M in annualized revenue within the next year.

🎢 Our story

Cede Labs was born in 2021 out of a simple frustration: managing crypto assets scattered across countless centralized and decentralized platforms.

What started as a solo internship project quickly evolved into a mission: make crypto asset management effortless, secure, and unified. We built, broke, and rebuilt: over and over. Through countless pivots and experiments, we launched our first product: cede.store, a wallet-like browser extension connecting users directly to their CEXs.

We hit walls, learned fast, and kept moving.

In 2023, we earned the trust of GSR and a Ledger co-founder, but true product-market fit was still just out of reach.

A first turning point came in May 2024 with our pivot to exchange connectivity tools for institutions. That’s when we closed our first B2B deal, generated our first real revenue, and proved that our tech could deliver real value: but the numbers still weren’t enough to survive.

By summer 2024, we were two months away from running out of cash, a ****moment that forced us to rethink everything.

So we went back to the brainstorming board. After a chaotic period of exploration, we launched Cede Hub in September 2024, and the market response was instant and overwhelming.

Since then, we achieved product-market fit, reached profitability and begun scaling fast: serving top exchanges and token projects worldwide.

We kept exploring. In early 2026, we launched Cede Flow. It was profitable within three weeks, and an exchange acquired it six months later.

Now we're running that playbook again with Cede Arena: launch fast, find the signal, and scale.
