Introducing the Squid App

Our next chapter at Squid is coming soon. Introducing the Squid app.

You read that right. Built by the team responsible for safely getting your assets to, from, and across 100+ chains since 2022, is an app that’s new, novel, and launching only on mobile.

Join the early access list at squid.inc for the chance to be selected as one of the first to experience the Squid app.

Squid believes finance can be useful without becoming sterile, fun without becoming extractive, and alive without demanding constant attention.

Squid believes in products that feel like an experience, rather than a chore.

There’s more to money than ever before. What will you make of it?

There has never been more to money

The world is changing, and the internet has given us a front row seat to not only watch, but to participate. Phones have created instant communication for anytime, anywhere. Social media has changed the way we build relationships, create communities, and display ourselves to the world. Breaking news appears on our screen, as it’s happening.

And money? Money is changing too. In fact, there has never been more to money than there is today. We’re seeing novel ways of storing, creating, and transacting each and every day. What we once viewed as normal is shifting into something new.

Money is energy that gives people the power to choose, coordinate, build, and make things happen. Money shapes our culture–what we value, who are, and which future feels possible.

Crypto made money internet-native, it made money global, programmable, social, and expressive:

The journey has not been linear, but it has been leading to now.

Crypto is converging with finance: cash, stocks, and commodities. Earning yield, spending and saving. New and familiar forms of money are colliding, redrawing the lines between financial markets, technology, and culture.

People everywhere have extraordinary access to money and markets, yet there is still a missing connection. Complexity is increasing and existing financial apps do little to help navigate this new world of money, or turn this access into what it can truly be. Friction and confusion still exist in the traditional finance apps of today, the new and old ways of money not existing easily in one place.

This creates pause in the face of great change. Many of us know that there could be more, but are unable to find a clear way in.

Others run in circles. Another signal, another trade, another chance to get somewhere, buy the bottom, sell the top, hold just long enough… only to arrive back at the beginning, with less agency and belief than before.

And this–this precipice between the money of yesterday and the money of tomorrow is where Squid comes in.

The Squid App

The Squid app will be our first step into consumer crypto, offering crypto, RWAs, stocks, and stablecoins all in one place–wherever you go. Global finance at your fingertips, from the team who brought you Squid.

We’re bringing you a financial app that connects the modern ways of money without confusion. It is one built from our ethos, vision, and experience here at Squid.

We can’t wait to share more with you soon. Those of you who were listening closely at TGE will know, $QUID will play a part in this app too.

There is planned in-app functionality for our native token $QUID. This could include enhanced product experience for token holders, along with ecosystem features, and more early access opportunities.

But until then… Early access is coming soon.

You can join the early-access list at squid.inc for real-time app and development updates, and for the chance to be one of the first to experience the Squid app.

Early access participants will play a monumental role in the launch of the Squid app, by sharing early-stage feedback and contributing to future releases. Spots are limited on the early-access list, and early access will be rolled out in phases. When you sign up, you enter for the chance to win merch and other rewards, too.

More should feel like winning, not missing out

Yet accessibility is not the only issue when it comes to money. Extraction is, too.

Newer financial apps have focused on and are capitalizing off of the emotion most exposed by the internet. Fear of missing out is no longer just fear of missing a night out on the town or a trip to the beach. It’s fear of missing out on generational wealth made in one night, placed in one timely bet.

We’re reminded daily of lost opportunities, and witness others’ winning trades as we scroll. Missing out has become something we are inevitably forced to feel, something that we all have in common yet hate to share.

If only I had bought Bitcoin at 5k, 20k, 50k, 75k!

If only I had sold all of my TSLA shares at $450.

“If only” takes up more and more space within our brains each waking moment. Yet if we were to allow ourselves a moment of pause, to take a step and ask ourselves what it is we’re really chasing, what would we say?

We can’t speak for you, but we can speak for Squid.

And at Squid, we believe that having “more” should feel clear and clean, a presentation of information and fact, the making of an informed investment, and a place where our decisions are not derived by fear, but led by ourselves.

When there is more to money than ever before, there is no missing out.

Money is calling you.

Will you call back?
