Looking for a technical cofounder for Vexo

Hey Indie Hackers,

I’m building Vexo, an iOS-first social crypto trading app.

The idea is simple: crypto trading discovery is still fragmented. People find tokens on X, Telegram, Discord, DexScreener, wallet apps, and group chats. Vexo is meant to bring discovery, social proof, embedded wallets, and trading into one native mobile experience.

Think:

  • social token discovery
  • trader profiles
  • follow/friend feeds
  • embedded wallet onboarding
  • Solana-first trading
  • Jupiter quote/swap flows
  • clean iOS-native UX instead of browser-tab chaos

I’m looking for a technical cofounder, ideally someone strong in iOS/SwiftUI, to help turn the current prototype into a real product.

Current stack:

  • SwiftUI / iOS
  • Supabase for auth, profiles, social graph, feed data
  • Privy embedded wallets
  • Solana-first
  • Jupiter for quotes/swaps
  • Backend proxy for provider secrets and API boundaries
  • DexScreener/Jupiter for market data

Important: this is not primarily a smart contract role.

I’m not looking for someone to write Solidity contracts or build a blockchain protocol. I’m looking for someone product-minded who can build polished mobile UX and integrate crypto infrastructure well.

The ideal person:

  • is very comfortable with SwiftUI and iOS app architecture
  • cares deeply about native mobile UX
  • can handle auth flows, deep links, sessions, OAuth/magic links
  • can work with REST APIs and backend integrations
  • understands wallet UX or is excited to learn it deeply
  • can reason carefully about money flows, error states, and user trust
  • is pragmatic, fast, and comfortable building from 0 to 1
  • wants real ownership, not just a freelance ticket

Bonus points if you’ve worked with:

  • Supabase
  • Privy
  • Solana
  • Jupiter
  • fintech / trading / wallet apps
  • consumer social apps

What I need help with next:

  • making onboarding/auth reliable
  • embedded wallet provisioning
  • deposit/send flows
  • token detail and trade review flows
  • Supabase social layer
  • simulator/dev testing setup
  • getting the app ready for TestFlight users

I’m based in Europe and currently building the product hands-on. I’m looking for someone who wants to join at the foundation level and help shape the product, technical direction, and company.

Open to starting with a few deep working sessions to see if there’s founder-market/team fit before making anything formal.

If this sounds interesting, DM me or reply here.

    Hey Nils,

    Vexo genuinely caught my attention. I think the combination of social discovery, embedded wallets, and clean iOS-native trading UX has huge potential.

    I’m a strong fit for this because I’m highly product-minded, fast at execution, and comfortable working across backend integrations, AI-driven systems, APIs, auth flows, and scalable architectures. I also care deeply about user trust, onboarding experience, and building products that feel polished rather than experimental.

    What I especially like is that you’re focused on solving a real UX problem instead of just building another crypto tool.

    I’d definitely be interested in exploring founder fit and contributing at the foundation level.

      Sounds great. Let's connect. Sadly your Teams Link isn't working for my account. Do you have an alternative method for us to connect?
      Best :)
