motion perps are live now
you can now trade perpetuals on @Lighter_xyz directly through Motion with 0% fees
all markets available on Lighter Robinhood are also accessible through Motion
here's what's inside:
• see @fomo traders for each asset, their trades, positions, theses and the full feed in one place
• trade perps with fast execution and 0% Motion and Lighter fees
• smart money layer for every asset — track the largest positions, their entry points and trades
• set your own take profit and stop loss for every position
• open and close positions in one click
• use Motion Alpha feeds and analytics without switching between terminals
when you close a position, you can withdraw your funds back to your wallet or leave them on Lighter for your next trades or transfers
transactions are still signed locally on your device. Motion doesn't hold your private keys
the idea is pretty simple
we want to bring trading, analytics and everything else into one interface without making you pay extra terminal fees
still a lot to improve, but perps are now part of Motion too
motion.gift
try now 😃
constantly trying to improve both the quality and speed of Motion
and just a reminder, we're signing all trades locally on your device, while some requests are still going through public nodes
once we move to our own node, i genuinely believe we'll be faster than any other terminal
also a few updates:
→ you may have noticed that the new design is gradually getting better
→ added a wallet balance chart so you can easily track how your balance changes over time
→ still working on fixing more bugs and improving the overall experience
also continuing development of the iOS and Android apps. both are already in the final stages before submission
792ms speed buying test in $MOTION @motiongift
I'm liking it, better than fomo ngl
Motion must be there
just look at how fast we're moving and the results will speak for themselves
i genuinely believe we're moving faster than anyone else in the PONS launchpad ecosystem [@MEADGod hello, we are here]
the level of tech we're building and the speed at which we're shipping it can genuinely surprise anyone
11 days of constant, meaningful updates focused on making the product better every single day.
and the foundation is almost complete
now look at the real community around $MOTION.
show me another example in today's market where most people hold positions for seconds or minutes, but Motion holders have been holding for weeks because they believe in the project and in me.
and i believe in them just as much. i'm genuinely grateful for every single one of them
now look at the actual product metrics and find me something comparable at a $450K market cap:
→ $230K+ trading volume across 2,840 trades since launch
→ $181K of that volume in just the last 7 days
→ 453 different tokens traded
→ more new traders joining and volume growing every day
anyone can verify it

we're still small on the outside, but incredibly strong on the inside
and that's what matters most
gm everyone
another major Motion update is coming
already in the testing stage
hoping i can ship it today
This is probably the most important update we’ve ever shipped
It shows where motion is going and where we’re heading
Why motion doesn’t need a 1% fee to exist. How it earns: 0.1% trading fees, $10 memberships, a $50 data API for builders, integrations of new launchpads and chains, and advertising
Why robinhood:0x061732dc141e0a2d37f5fa91cf5343f24064e60f matters so much in our ecosystem. Every membership is paid in robinhood:0x061732dc141e0a2d37f5fa91cf5343f24064e60f and burned, and the 0.1% builders pay on every routed trade goes into buying back and burning. Founding traders and holders at the snapshot keep trading for free
I’ve put it all on one page, the motion manifesto. Yes, it’s a bit long. But it’s the real logic and the exact mechanics everything here will run on, with a burn calculator and a monthly report on every burn and buyback
I hope the future of the product is a lot clearer for everyone now

I think this is where $MOTION shines the most, @fomo is currently down because of some global Php shit
$MOTION is non custodial so you don't expose your main wallet, it generates a proxy wallet for you, this is what @HyperliquidX is doing too
IYKYK
today i've been working on preparing the native iOS and Android apps for submission to the app stores
hopefully i'll be able to give you early access through TestFlight or Android beta testing pretty soon, for anyone who wants to try them
there are still some things i need to fix and adjust to meet the app store requirements, but i'm actively working on it
also shipped the new desktop design today
if you prefer the old one, i've added a button to switch back to the classic version. i'll keep improving the new design too
work hasn't stopped for a single day
i basically wake up, build, grab something to eat, sleep and get back to building
been doing this for 10 days straight now
the pace is actually crazy when you compare what Motion looked like in v1 to what we have now in v6
and i'm definitely not slowing down
good catch
this is exactly what i've been talking about
trading fees are brutal for the retail
starting with $1,000 and making 10 trades, each one breaking even before fees
with 1% fees on buys and sells:
after 1 trade → $980
after 5 trades → $904
after 10 trades → $818
with Motion's 0% platform fees:
after 1 trade → $1,000
after 5 trades → $1,000
after 10 trades → $1,000
that's $182 saved, or 18.2% of your entire starting deposit
and you didn't even lose anything on the trades themselves
now imagine making 20, 50 or 100 trades
that's why i'm building Motion
0% platform fees, without giving up speed or functionality
Just kind of wanted to highlight why having a zero fee trading terminal is so important, take a look at this trade i took for example using @motiongift
Although i barley made any money on it (reality of most trades) i didnt lose money on it due to zero fees
If you take in multiple trades a day like i do, you’ll notice your portfolio go from 200 down to 100-150 even if you barley lost any money and mostly broke even
Where did your money go? In ur trading terminals pocket, having a product like @motiongift around shouldnt be overlooked

some updates on what's going on with Motion
today i spent most of my time rebuilding the desktop homepage, trying to bring it closer to the mobile app i released yesterday
also fixed a bunch of bugs
i'm not really happy with the new desktop design yet, so if i release it (not today), i'll probably add a switch between the old and new versions so you can choose which one you prefer
now about a few more important things
security audit
a lot of you have been asking about this, and i completely understand why. i think it's one of the biggest things holding us back from mass adoption
huge thanks to the PONS team for helping me get in touch with the right people
i'm already talking to auditors. hopefully all will be done this week 🤞
$MOTION utility
the timeline has shifted a bit, and not entirely because of me
my original plan was to publish the full manifesto after moving Robinhood trading to our own RPC node and preparing the infrastructure for other builders
a big part of the utility i'm planning is opening up our infrastructure and APIs so other developers can build on top of Motion
i wanted to have this working before explaining the whole model
unfortunately, Hetzner has been keeping me waiting for 5 days and still hasn't delivered the dedicated server i ordered
still trying to sort it out
ecosystem support and marketing
i've also been in touch with the PONS team. apparently we're still too small for official reposts and promotion. they want to see a higher market cap first
similar story with FOMO verification. they want a higher market cap and more trading volume
i know we'll get there, just might take longer than expected
we already have over 210 registered users through Privy, and i still believe the product and token will help each other grow
i've also asked my teammate to build a separate marketing tool to help spread the word about Motion (more info soon)
i want more traders from other chains and terminals to discover what we're building
it's only day 8 or 9, and i've been building pretty much nonstop since launch
some things are taking longer than expected, but i'm still shipping every day and trying to get the foundation right
i really believe we can make this work with enough effort and your support
thanks everyone
gm everyone
today is mostly a bug fixing day
thanks to everyone who's been testing Motion and sending feedback. i'm already working through everything and fixing the issues you guys reported
also preparing a cleaner desktop version. still a lot of UI improvements i want to make
and as many of you requested, i've added @JoinProxima bundle detection
you can now see launch bundles, connected wallets, how much they bought, sold, still hold and their PnL directly on token pages
more improvements coming throughout the day
back to building
one of the most important things for me is watching our internal metrics grow
trading volume, active traders, number of trades, people coming back to use Motion
we've already done almost $100k in trading volume over the past week, and even more in total
and all these numbers keep growing
thanks to everyone who's gradually starting to trust the platform, giving it a try and actually staying to trade
i really appreciate it
we're still at the very beginning

motion web app is live now
the simplicity of FOMO. the depth of GMGN. 0% platform fees.
i've completely rebuilt the mobile experience from scratch
here's what's inside:
• Motion Alpha — aggregates data from FOMO, Axiom, GMGN and other sources into one dashboard. discover trending tokens and see why they're getting attention
• top traders — track top traders from GMGN and FOMO, their wallets, positions and trades in real time
• trader analytics — analyze PnL, win rates, holding times and trading strategies to find wallets worth following
• one combined feed — callouts, trades and signals from different platforms in one place
• AlphaGate Pro — fully integrated and free for all Motion users. key X followers, previous launches, account history and more
• one-tap trading — buy and sell across supported chains with 0% platform fees
• wallet management — manage wallets, positions and transfers on your phone, with encrypted backups for easy recovery across devices
the architecture stays the same. trades are signed locally, wallet keys stay in an isolated vault, and the vault code is open source
i've rebuilt the entire mobile experience, from navigation and animations to trading and wallet management
native iOS and Android apps are already well underway
still a lot to improve, so i'd really appreciate your feedback
motion.gift
gm everyone
getting ready for the mobile web app release
if you plan to trade from another device, especially your phone, i just shipped an update that makes moving over much easier
you can now turn on phone access: your wallets are kept in an encrypted backup tied to your account, and you can restore them on another device in one tap
the architecture stays the same. the backup is encrypted with a key that only your logged-in account can produce. we store an encrypted blob we can’t open. when you log in on a new device, your browser decrypts it locally and keeps the wallets there, and trades are still signed on your device
before this, restoring on a new device required the wallet you signed up with (like Rabby) or a recovery file you had to keep somewhere and upload manually
not very convenient, especially on mobile
to enable it, open motion.gift on the computer you trade from → click “Turn on” on the banner (or go to Wallets → Phone access)
one click, no signature
once enabled, logging into your account is enough to restore your wallets, so please keep 2FA on (Settings → Security)
new accounts get this automatically
yes, i can confirm that $MOTION will be integrated into the product ecosystem
i already have a pretty clear plan in my head for how it will all work
after a few upcoming releases, i'll be ready to share a proper manifesto with everyone and explain the whole model in detail
Replying to @motiongift @alphagate_io
Bro, this is fucking sick.
Only question is how does the $MOTION token play a part in the ecosystem. Looking to buy as your work ethic is nuts, and like to support real builders shipping real tools for the space.
Even if it’s not integrated yet, is there plans for it?.
Premium features, a flywheel (don’t know how possible with no fees) etc?
successfully integrated @alphagate_io into Motion
you can now see more detailed information about tokens directly on Trenches and token pages
key followers, previous launches, X activity and other data from AlphaGate Pro
all of this is completely free for Motion users
also, another update
the mobile web app is coming tomorrow
i'm currently going through the final rounds of testing and fixing the remaining bugs
really hope you'll like it
i think i've managed to combine the depth of GMGN with the simplicity of FOMO
added two new sections to the GMGN GGC tournament tracker
• who to copy — traders worth following, mainly based on how long they hold their positions. because there's no point copying someone who sells everything in 30 seconds
• who the others follow — traders who buy tokens first, before other tournament participants start buying the same tokens
also reworked the trader analytics to be more like the original Alpha dashboard
you can now open any wallet and see exactly how its score is calculated
return, realized profit, win rate, median holding time, sample size, reliability and how often other traders buy the same tokens after them
i'm trying to figure out not just who's making the most money, but who's actually worth copying and whether there's enough time to follow their trades
still collecting data and improving the scoring system
use it for free // trade for free
motion.gift
decided to ship one more late night update
added a new section to Motion Alpha
as you may have seen, @gmgnai launched GGC something similar to our Balkan road trip 😃
a lot of top KOLs are already competing for the best PnL
and here's what i find interesting
i think some of them will buy tokens from their main wallets first, before buying through their bundled wallets
and since we know which wallets they're using in the tournament, we can track those first moves
so i built a separate section in Alpha where you can follow their trades
right now it automatically pulls the top 30 traders from GMGN's leaderboard
i've collected their wallets and added them to our tracker
you can also enable trade notifications for specific wallets or all of them at once
i've also launched my own indexer that's already analyzing every trade made by the top PnL traders on day 1
since the tournament just started, everyone created fresh wallets with no previous trading history
so right now i'm collecting their trades from the first day
starting from day 2, once there's enough data, i'll be able to add filters and analyze how each of them actually trades
what strategies they use, how much they buy and sell, how they enter and exit positions, whether they're bundling transactions, and so on
but that's for tomorrow

thanks to everyone who shared their feedback
i read every single reply and made some conclusions
i really underestimated how popular mobile trading is and how many people trade exclusively from their phones
Motion is going to get a major mobile rework. i can see now that this is one of the biggest things missing from the product
i want to combine the depth of GMGN with the simplicity of FOMO and build something somewhere in between
a proper mobile version of Motion that brings together the best features from different trading terminals, but with 0% platform fees
and considering i'm already actively building it, i don't think you'll have to wait too long 👩🍳
i'll probably start by completely reworking the web app for mobile, and then, once the native app gets approved in the app stores, those who want to can switch to the full app
i'll try to get this right
i think we're actually doing pretty well considering Motion launched just 5 days ago
over 150 unique users have already registered on the platform
btw, if you had trouble signing up today, you can try again now. apparently we hit Privy's limits and i didn't even get a notification about it lol
anyway, upgraded to their $300/month plan, so everything should be fine now
today was also a day of spending money on infrastructure
• $400 for our first dedicated Robinhood Chain node
• $150 for more powerful servers for our production and dev environments
• $300/month for Privy
i want to keep all these expenses transparent too
i think it's important to show that even a trading platform running its own infrastructure can operate with 0% trading fees
the fees we're already collecting help cover these costs, and that's exactly why i believe this model can work
now back to the question about getting more users
i don't think attracting new users is our biggest problem right now. people are coming, registering and showing interest
the problem i'm seeing is something deeper
people aren't converting into actual traders
and my guess is that trust is a big part of it
but honestly, i still don't fully understand where exactly the funnel breaks
i've been trying to share everything as openly and transparently as possible since day one
so i'd really appreciate it if you could tell me what's stopping you from trading through the Motion app or extension
is it trust? missing features? security concerns? the lack of an independent audit? or something completely different?
i'm especially interested in detailed answers from people who checked out Motion but decided not to trade
please don't sugarcoat anything. i genuinely want to understand what's wrong and what i need to improve
i'm even willing to set aside part of the creator fees to reward people who provide genuinely useful and detailed feedback
i'm trying to be as honest and open with you as possible, and i hope you'll do the same
motion is now #1 on Motion Alpha and #6 on @fomo
not bad for day 6 👨🍳
