Atomic Wallet 2025: Year in Review

The Self-Custody Trading Era

2025 was the year traders moved from centralized exchanges to self-custody. After exchange collapses and increasing regulatory pressure, users needed wallets that could do more than just store crypto – they needed full trading platforms.

Atomic Wallet evolved to meet that demand. We expanded from basic wallet functionality to a complete trading and staking platform: 1,500+ assets across 50+ blockchains, perpetual futures with leverage, multi-chain staking, improved swap reliability, and enhanced security, all accessible from desktop, mobile, and browser.

2025 by the Numbers

Here's what we achieved together:

• 15 million downloads worldwide
• 500,000+ new users: joined Atomic in 2025 alone
• 190 countries: from first-time holders to seasoned traders
• 1,500+ assets: supported across 10+ blockchains and Layer 2s‍
• 10+ new integrations: including Monad, Linea, Zora, and Babylon staking

Web3 Features & Expansion

The growth in 2025 came from consistent product delivery: major feature launches, infrastructure upgrades, security improvements, and dozens of releases throughout the year. Here's what we built.

The Biggest Launch of 2025: Perpetuals Trading

For years, trading perpetual futures meant choosing between self-custody and functionality. Centralized exchanges offered deep liquidity and leverage, but required giving up control of your funds and going through KYC. Decentralized alternatives often locked users into a single chain with complex bridging requirements.

In November 2025, Atomic Wallet launched perpetual futures trading that runs entirely in your self-custodial wallet. No account creation, no centralized intermediary, without transferring custody of your funds.

"We are setting a new standard for the self-custody era. We've brought Hyperliquid's deep liquidity to Desktop and Mobile for total freedom, allowing users to analyze complex charts at home and manage risk instantly from their phone." — Danny Yurkin, CEO

What Makes It Different

Traditional perpetual platforms force users to bridge funds to a single chain before trading. Atomic offers multi-chain flexibility: deposit USDT or USDC from Tron, Solana, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, or Optimism. Choose the network with the lowest fees at any given moment and begin trading immediately: no bridges, no token swaps required.

What you get:

• 100+ perpetual markets including BTC, ETH, SOL, and major altcoins
• Up to 40× leverage available for experienced traders
• Powered by Hyperliquid for institutional-grade liquidity and execution
• Multi-chain deposits from 6 major networks
• Non-custodial trading: you maintain control of your keys throughout

Note: Availability of certain features may vary by jurisdiction. Please ensure compliance with local regulations.

How It Works

1. Fund your wallet from any supported network (Tron, Solana, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, or Optimism)
2. Select a market (BTC, ETH, SOL, or 100+ other perpetual contracts)
3. Set your position including size, leverage, and risk parameters
4. Manage in real-time with stop-loss orders, take-profit targets, and position monitoring directly in your wallet

Everything stays in your custody. All execution happens through Hyperliquid's decentralized infrastructure.

Risk Disclosure: Trading crypto derivatives involves substantial risk of loss and may not be suitable for all users. Leverage amplifies both potential gains and losses. Only trade with funds you can afford to lose, and ensure you understand the mechanics of perpetual futures before trading.

Product Expansion in 2025

Perpetual futures were the flagship launch, but 2025 brought expansion across the entire platform: new blockchains, expanded staking, browser extension improvements, and infrastructure upgrades that made Atomic faster and more reliable.

Chain Coverage & Staking

Atomic integrated 10+ new blockchains and Layer 2 networks in 2025, bringing total asset coverage to 1,500+ tokens across major ecosystems.

Networks added: Monad, Linea, Zora, Optimism, DuckChain, Initia, plus expanded Bitcoin support for ordinals and BRC-20 tokens.

Staking expanded to high-demand networks, allowing users to earn rewards directly from their wallet without third-party custodians: Babylon for Bitcoin staking, Monad for early L1 access, and Cardano (ADA) with improved reward reliability.

‍Browser Extension & Fiat On-Ramp

The Atomic browser extension evolved into a multi-chain Web3 gateway. Solana support was the major addition: users can now send/receive SOL, manage SPL tokens and NFTs, and connect to Solana dApps directly from their browser, no desktop application needed.

Buying crypto became simpler with expanded fiat on-ramp support. 10+ new assets are now available (Hype, Ondo, Raydium, Render, Pengu, Morpho), and USDT can be purchased across Optimism, BSC, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Users can buy directly with a card and receive assets on their preferred network.

Infrastructure Improvements

While new features attracted attention, we spent significant effort making Atomic faster, more reliable, and safer to use daily.

Cost reduction: Tron (USDT TRC-20) transaction fees cut by 50%, reducing costs for one of the most-used stablecoin networks.

Reliability upgrades: Real-time balance updates eliminated manual refreshing. Swap routing improvements reduced failed transactions. Performance optimizations decreased load times and crashes.

Security enhancements: Automatic detection now flags suspicious token contracts before users interact with them, adding a layer of protection against scams and malicious assets.

These improvements don't generate headlines, but they define the daily experience for users managing assets across multiple chains.

Community & Growth

Our community in 2025 wasn't just users – they were collaborators. From beta testing perpetuals to catching bugs we missed, to requesting features that actually shipped, users shaped the product at every stage.

Growth Through Participation

The community expanded across all platforms: Twitter reached 125,000+ followers with AMAs regularly pulling 100,000+ participants. Discord grew to 3,300+ members, becoming the hub for feature discussions, early access, and weekly events. Telegram (17,000+) kept everyone updated on releases, while Reddit (14,400+) hosted deeper technical conversations.

But numbers only tell part of the story. Growth came from genuine involvement: users who beta-tested new features, reported edge cases internal testing missed, and helped onboard newcomers to self-custody trading. When we launched perpetuals in November, hundreds of community members tested it before public release – their feedback directly improved the UX and caught critical issues.

Feedback That Shipped

Community requests influenced our 2025 roadmap:

• Chain integrations — Monad, Linea, and other networks were added based on user demand
• Staking improvements — ADA reward fixes and Babylon support came from persistent feedback
• UX refinements — real-time balance updates and swap reliability improvements addressed common pain points
• Educational content — community members created guides explaining perpetuals, multi-chain deposits, and risk management to new users

This feedback loop made the product better and ensured we built features people actually needed, not what we assumed they wanted.

Rewards & Alignment

We distributed over 1 million AWC tokens throughout 2025 through community programs, Twitter campaigns, and Discord events.

Our cashback program continued to reward active users: earn up to 1% back on swaps depending on your AWC tier, with even free-tier users getting 0.25%. Hold AWC, use the platform, earn rewards. Simple.

Community Highlights

• 125,000+ Twitter followers — 100K+ AMA participants
• 3,300+ Discord members — 200% growth since October
• 1M+ AWC distributed through programs and campaigns
• Cashback program live — up to 1% back on swaps
• Direct product impact — features shipped based on community requests

Looking Ahead: 2026

2025 established Atomic as a comprehensive self-custody trading platform. In 2026, we're focused on expanding functionality while maintaining the core principle: users control their keys, always.

What's Coming

• Prediction Markets launch soon, enabling users to trade event outcomes directly from their wallet. Early testing is underway, with public access expected in Q1.
• DeFi Banking features are in development, focusing on payments and stablecoin infrastructure for daily usage. We're exploring integrations with Tempo blockchain and full Polygon support: networks designed for fast, low-cost transactions.
• Infrastructure improvements continue: faster execution, enhanced security detection, and performance optimizations across desktop, mobile, and browser extension.

Our Commitment:

Self-custody remains non-negotiable. As we add features and scale infrastructure, your keys stay in your control. No shortcuts, no compromises.

Security, reliability, and user control guide every decision. That's what differentiates self-custody platforms from centralized alternatives, and it's why we're building for the long term.

Thank you for making 2025 possible! Let's keep building.‍
