Giddy provides blockchain-based DeFi services, and the core trading categories are crypto assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USD Coin (USDC), Giddy Token (GIDDY), etc. Users can buy and sell, cross-chain swaps, and stake cryptocurrencies through the platform to earn passive income. The GIDDY token is the native token of the platform and is tradable on decentralized exchanges such as Sushiswap on the Polygon network, with a 24-hour trading volume of around $652.05 (as of June 2025). Staking pools supported by the platform include partnerships with projects such as Gains Network, which allow users to deposit their crypto assets into yield pools. Giddy's services do not involve traditional financial assets (such as forex, stocks, or CFDs) and focus on crypto asset management within the DeFi ecosystem.
★ Trading software
Giddy offers a self-custody smart wallet app that supports iOS and Android platforms and allows users to manage, trade, and stake crypto assets. The app simplifies DeFi operations with an intuitive interface that supports One-Tap Staking, cross-chain swaps, and real-time asset tracking. Giddy's wallet uses Multi-Identity Decentralized Private Security technology for enhanced security. The platform integrates with decentralized exchanges (DEXs) via a REST API to support fast transactions (e.g. USDC transfers can be completed in seconds). Users can import GIDDY tokens through MetaMask and other tools (contract address: 0x67eb41a14c0fe5cd701fc9d5a3d6597a72f641a6). The app also offers Auto-Compounding to optimize staking yields. Giddy Pro subscribers get no transaction fees, but gas fees apply.
★
Deposit and withdrawal methodsGiddy's platform supports deposits and withdrawals in both fiat and cryptocurrency. Users can recharge fiat currency through bank transfer or credit card to purchase crypto assets; Cryptocurrencies can be deposited or withdrawn directly through blockchain wallets. The platform supports direct fiat currency deposit and withdrawal channels (Fiat On/Off-Ramps) to simplify the fund conversion process. Transaction fees, such as slippage and price impact on DEX transactions, are determined by the blockchain network, and Giddy is not responsible for such fees. Giddy Pro subscribers can enjoy some waivers of transaction fees, such as staking deposit fees, but network fees will still be payable. Users manage deposits and withdrawals through the app, and the specific payment methods and limits are not publicly disclosed. Since Giddy does not custodian user assets, all deposit and withdrawal operations need to be managed by users through their private keys.
