LinkedinExclusive Interview with Tom Babiak
The current ecosystem in which all the core DeFi tasks have been so fragmented and complex that, to this day, most cannot benefit from it. With Screx, the idea is to provide users with a “transformative DeFi solution” that brings the key elements of DeFi, from staking to trading, lending, bridging, and even AI analytics, together onto one platform.
Described as a rebel of DeFi, Screx has emerged on the market as a presale, with the token available for purchase via Gems.vip. We sat down with the CEO of the project, Tom Babiak, to understand the intricacies of the project as it tackles the current fragmentation issues of the DeFi ecosystem, and how it can set the tone for the future of crypto.The CEO goes deep into what makes the project tick, and the importance of setting an ecosystem strong enough to bring the disparate elements together. He also discusses the presale structure and how leading institutions are already backing the project.
The biggest problem DeFi faces today is fragmentation, which has led to a complete loss of coherence across the ecosystem. There are hundreds of applications and protocols, countless tools, and dozens of blockchains that cannot communicate with each other. Users who were meant to gain freedom now juggle wallets, bridges, and platforms just to perform the simplest operations.
The problem is not a lack of innovation but the lack of connection between innovations. DeFi was meant to simplify finance, yet it has become its most complex version. Liquidity is scattered, costs are rising, and using different protocols demands more and more time, effort, and technical knowledge.
Screx was created to restore order, liquidity, and logic to this space. We are building an integrated environment that connects existing protocols and blockchains into a single coherent structure, allowing all key DeFi functions such as swaps, lending, staking, farming, bridging, and more to be accessible from one place.
At the same time, we believe users deserve not only convenience but also full control over their data and visibility. It is not about hiding but about having the freedom to decide what remains public and what stays private. That is why Screx is developing tools that restore the balance between transparency and security.
DeFi does not need more promises or new isolated projects. It needs one ecosystem that finally brings everything together. And that ecosystem will be Screx.
Because DeFi challenges the very foundation of modern finance. For decades, banks, institutions, and intermediaries have dictated how capital moves and who has access to financial services. DeFi reverses that logic and transfers responsibility and control directly to the user. It is not just a technological shift but also a mental one, and every such revolution meets resistance.
Instead of adaptation, we see excessive caution. Regulators are trying to force decentralized models into centralized legal frameworks, while institutions avoid collaboration out of fear of losing control. Even the crypto industry itself is moving closer to centralization. Exchanges, launchpads, and service providers are tightening regulations, collecting user data, and introducing new restrictions. From a security perspective, this may seem reasonable, but it takes us further away from the very idea that built Web3: openness and independence.
The paradox is that DeFi does not threaten stability, it threatens monopoly. It does not break the rules but shows that they can exist without centralized supervision. Trust no longer comes from institutional authority but from the transparency of the system itself. This shift, transferring responsibility from the center to the participants, is what causes the most resistance.
But it is also what makes this transformation inevitable.
Screx was built on a simple idea. DeFi does not need more tools. It needs a system that makes the existing ones finally work together. Instead of creating yet another financial protocol, we focused on connecting those that already have real value into a single coherent mechanism accessible from one place.
Most DeFi projects operate reactively, while we take a holistic view. We are not interested in adding more features but in how users navigate the entire process, from onboarding to managing their assets.Screx simplifies every stage of this experience by combining advanced technology with practical usability.
And this approach was not created in isolation. Over the past two years, we have consulted it on multiple levels with developers, analysts, and community leaders, but the most important feedback came from end users. Their everyday frustrations and observations shaped the foundation of our aggregator, a tool that not only connects features but removes barriers between them.
It is not a revolution but a course correction. DeFi was meant to be open and accessible, but along the way, it became overly complex and exclusive. We are bringing it back to its core principles of simplicity, security, and efficiency. Screx does not tell DeFi what it should look like. Screx shows how it should work, entirely focused on user experience.
Screx is built on the principle of interoperability at its core.Instead of forcing users to switch between multiple applications and wallets, it provides a complete solution integrated directly with leading platforms within the DeFi ecosystem. It connects major liquidity sources and established protocols under a single coherent architecture.
The proprietary Smart Routing engine automatically scans connected infrastructure layers and selects the most efficient path for each transaction. It analyzes liquidity, costs, and execution speed to ensure that every operation runs optimally, fast, affordable, and secure. This eliminates the need for manual management of complex processes that in traditional DeFi require users to constantly monitor and compare market conditions.
The second key layer is artificial intelligence, which merges information from multiple on-chain and off-chain sources. It processes market data, capital flows, and user behavior to deliver personalized recommendations and strategy simulations. Every suggestion is based on data and analysis rather than intuition, making Screx an intelligent decision layer that unites interpretation and execution in one process.
The third pillar is the privacy layer powered by Zero Knowledge Proofs. Users can switch freely between public and private modes. The public mode ensures full on-chain auditability, while the private mode conceals transaction details without compromising verification. This mechanism enables both transparent and confidential operations to coexist within a single wallet while maintaining compliance with solutions such as ZKMe and Fractal ID.
As a result, Screx creates an integrated next-generation environment that automatically selects the most efficient routes for every operation.
It is a utility asset that powers the platform’s functionality and strengthens its economic model. It was designed to combine operational utility with long-term value, supporting both the daily activity of users and the overall growth of the community.
Our token plays a multi-layered role within the ecosystem. It can be used to cover transaction fees, provide liquidity, participate in staking, vote within the decentralized governance system, and unlock advanced tools and analytics available exclusively to its holders. Users who actively contribute to the ecosystem’s growth through staking, referrals, or participation in platform initiatives receive additional benefits and discounts on services within the platform.
The token’s economy is also based on a deflationary model designed to maintain long-term value. Two percent of all transaction fees are automatically burned, and annual burn events reduce between 0.5 and 1.5 percent of the total supply, funded by platform revenue or unused allocations.
This approach maintains a balance between liquidity and controlled scarcity, aligning the interests of users, developers, and partners. It creates a unified incentive structure in which every interaction, from transactions to participation in governance, directly strengthens the entire system.
The Screx presale was designed around transparency, verification, and trust. It is not a quick fundraising event but a process to establish long-term credibility.
The sale is hosted on Gems.vip, one of the most trusted fundraising platforms in Web3. Every project admitted to presale undergoes a detailed technological, operational, and legal evaluation, confirming that Screx meets the industry’s highest standards of quality and compliance.
At the same time, the presale served as a real market validation. The project was reviewed not only by the Gems team but also by the community, industry leaders, and potential investors who positively assessed both its technical foundations and development direction.It became a natural test of trust, proving that Screx responds to genuine market needs rather than speculative trends.
The entire process is fully transparent. Pricing, schedule, and terms are publicly available, and every transaction occurs directly on-chain. Unlike many token sales focused on short-term gains, Screx treats its presale as the cornerstone of a long-term growth strategy and lasting community relationships.
Today’s DeFi market stands at a crossroads. On one side, there is immense technological potential. On the other, growing user fatigue caused by fragmentation and complexity. This is the moment when the industry no longer needs new concepts or further dispersion but true connection.
Screx matters because it restores meaning and usability to DeFi. We are not creating another protocol. We are building an environment where all protocols can finally work together within one logical structure. We connect what is scattered, simplify what is overcomplicated, and return full control to the user, from tool selection to data visibility and privacy preferences.
DeFi today needs three things: trust, simplicity, and interoperability. Screx unites all three, creating a real alternative to centralized financial systems. We did not come to reinvent DeFi.
We came to clean it up.
