The brief

Vest Exchange is a decentralized perpetual futures platform focused on simple DeFi trading. The product was strong, but its X presence had not moved past initial awareness to sustained engagement and user acquisition in a crowded DeFi market.

What we did

  • Management of the X account from April 7, 2025
  • Educational content on DeFi concepts and Vest's trading features
  • Milestone content on volume, TVL and new market listings
  • Proactive community engagement and replies
  • Public Dune dashboard tracking TVL, volume and open interest
