Paragraph boilerplate

Flip (flipdex.co) is a cross-chain swap interface that routes between native Bitcoin and major EVM chains, Solana, and NEAR without using bridges or custodians. It's built on the NEAR Intents 1Click protocol — a solver-network settlement system where independent solvers compete to fill cross-chain orders and post collateral that's slashed if they fail to deliver. Flip charges one flat protocol fee, displayed in every quote before execution. Founded in 2026 by Myer Raymond, based in Australia.

Founder bio

Myer Raymond is the solo founder of Flip. Based in Australia. GitHub: @myer-2000. For longer-form interviews, podcast appearances, or quoted background, reach out via the press contact below.

Why Flip exists

Most cross-chain swap UIs handle Bitcoin via wrapped variants (WBTC, BTCB, cbBTC) — custodian-issued tokens that require trusting a centralized issuer like BitGo or Coinbase to redeem the underlying BTC. The alternative most users default to is a centralized exchange round-trip: deposit, sell, withdraw. KYC, custody, and 0.5–1.5% lost to fees.

Flip exists for the audience that refuses both options — Bitcoin-native users who want to use their BTC in DeFi without giving up custody or accepting an IOU. The wedge is narrow but real, and the user economics are honest.
