Baumz Raises $500K Angel Round to Disrupt Perpetual-Trading Economics

Baumz., an emerging decentralized exchange (DEX) built for highly leveraged perpetual trading, today announced the successful close of a $500,000 angel round from a group of strategic crypto-native investors. This seed infusion will accelerate Baumz’s development of its flagship “Pro” platform, featuring unique innovations such as the Pop-Net+ carry fee model, Tri-Proof Oracle architecture, and up to 1024× leverage order books.

Bringing Trader-Aligned Economics to Perpetuals

Perpetual futures markets dominate crypto derivatives volumes, yet most DEXs still replicate extractive business models built for churn, not actual trader success. Baumz is rewriting that dynamic.

• Fee only on 24h average profit, not on every trade or on every winning trade.

• Institution-level performance with latency targets ≤ 10 ms and throughput up to 250,000 orders per second.

• Tri-Proof Oracle (TPO) design for synthetic markets spanning crypto, stocks, RWAs.

• Up to 1024× leverage in Pro mode, plus launch of RWA perps (SPX500, NAS100) and full chain interoperability.

Why Angels Backed Baumz Early

The round’s strategic investors were drawn to Baumz’s novel economic alignment: when traders win, the protocol earns — completely reversing the typical incentive structure. Several core reasons:

• A refocused business model that addresses persistent trader pain-points (fee drag, latency risk, oracle failure).

• Clear technical roadmap bridging CEX-grade execution with DeFi trust.

• Early traction in community reward schema and token-points architecture positioning Baumz as not just a product but a movement.

Planned Use of Funds

The angel funding will be deployed across several priorities:

Market Implication & Timing

This raise comes at an inflection point: DEX perpetuals are no longer niche — the question is execution and alignment. While leading competitors have focused primarily on matching speed or fee zero-models, Baumz targets a deeper shift: economics aligned with trader success.
With institutional frameworks now converging on chain, the next wave of growth will reward platforms that merge transparency, performance, and fairness.

Founder Commentary

“The next decade of derivatives trading isn’t about building faster or cheaper alone. It’s about building fairer. Baumz flips the model: we only win when our users win.” LEO, Founder & CEO, Baumz"

Looking Ahead

Baumz is gearing for the next milestones:

• Baumz Basic: already operational across multiple chains with up to 50× leverage.

• Baumz Pro: currently in development with full go-live expected in Q1/2026.

• Season 0 & 1 Rewards: active referral and points campaigns to build network effect pre-launch.

• Synthetic Perpetuals: SPX500, NAS100 and RWA perps coming soon.

Why This Matters for DeFi

By combining CEX-level execution (≤10 ms, 250k TPS) with a trader-aligned fee model and high-integrity oracle architecture, Baumz is carving out a differentiated position in the crowded perpetuals space. The $500K angel round affirms investor belief that the next leader will be defined not by zero-fees alone, but by fair incentives + technical depth.
