Team & Background

Based was developed by a Singapore-based Web3 company, originally founded in 2023 as Suberra before relaunching as Based in July 2025. The rebrand reflects the project’s broader vision of building a crypto SuperApp that combines trading, payments, and financial services into a unified platform designed for both retail and advanced users.

The founding team brings together experience in fintech entrepreneurship, product growth, and blockchain infrastructure. The platform is led by CEO Edison Lim, who became deeply involved in the Hyperliquid ecosystem in 2024 and later emerged as one of its top traders. Alongside co-founder Zac L, the team has focused on developing a vertically integrated crypto financial platform that connects derivatives trading, prediction markets, and payment utilities.

On the technical side, CTO Zlace.hl leads the platform’s infrastructure development and ensures close integration with Hyperliquid’s liquidity layer. Operational strategy is overseen by COO Jun Hao Lim, supporting the platform’s growth and ecosystem expansion.

Since its early development, Based has also attracted institutional backing, raising around $19.2 million from investors including Pantera Capital, Coinbase Ventures, and Wintermute, positioning the project for continued growth within the Base and DeFi ecosystems.

Technical Architecture

The Based platform is built on a modular architecture that combines high-performance trading infrastructure with integrated financial utilities.

Hyperliquid Trading Infrastructure

Based integrates with Hyperliquid, a high-throughput decentralized trading environment capable of handling large transaction volumes with minimal latency. This infrastructure enables efficient perpetual futures trading and deep liquidity access.

Advanced Trading Interface
