Crypto.com Capital has made a strategic investment in Moonlander, a next-generation perpetual trading platform built on Cronos EVM and zkEVM.

Moonlander sets itself apart by providing up to 1000x leverage on a variety of cryptocurrency assets—a capability that was previously only available on controlled exchanges but is now available in a decentralized environment. The Moonlander Liquidity Pool (MLP), is at the heart of the protocol’s architecture. This enables better capital efficiency, less slippage for traders, and real yield prospects for liquidity providers. These are paid directly from platform trading fees in native tokens and CRO.

Cronos’ dual-chain infrastructure provides scalability and dramatically reduced transaction costs. This has created a fertile environment for high-frequency trading and passive income generation. Security is a top priority, ensured by real-time price feeds from PYTH oracles. These safeguard against market manipulation and abnormal liquidations.

How the Crypto.com Capital Investment Will Be Used

The funds from Crypto.com Capital are for expanding Moonlander’s development team, enhancing platform features, and launching aggressive marketing campaigns. These target increasing user adoption and liquidity. Already, Moonlander reports more than $33 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) and over $2 billion in cumulative trading volume. The statistics underscore strong early traction within the DeFi sector.

Notably, Moonlander’s native utility and governance token, Full Moon (FM), was just listed on the Crypto.com App, opening global access to millions of users and supporting both trading and platform governance.

Leading the Way in DeFi

Moonlander is more than simply a trade engine; it pushes the limits of user interaction. Token-specific chat rooms, real-time leaderboards, and narrative-based markets connected to political events, global trends, and online culture are just a few of the social-first aspects it incorporates. This strategy places Moonlander as a link between crypto-native culture and international speculation while redefining trade as a cooperative, community-driven activity.

With the support of Crypto.com, Moonlander could spur innovation and uptake in decentralized derivatives, offering the international crypto community a more effective, safe, and entertaining trading environment in the future.
