About Yellow Network
Yellow is building the core infrastructure that makes crypto apps and trading faster, easier, and more connected, like the hidden plumbing that helps the internet run smoothly, but for blockchain.
The idea for Yellow started in 2022 when the team, with backgrounds in finance and crypto, saw a clear problem: even with all the innovation in blockchain, apps, and platforms still felt slow, disconnected, and overly complicated. Trades took too long, users had to jump between wallets and networks, and developers were stuck rebuilding the same tools every time they launched something new.
So Yellow set out to fix the foundation. Instead of building another coin or exchange, they focused on creating technology to support everything else, helping developers build apps that work across blockchains and helping trading platforms settle transactions faster and more securely.
Over the last year, Yellow has delivered on that mission. They built ClearSync, a system that lets apps settle transactions instantly without waiting for slow blockchain confirmations. They launched ClearNet, a decentralized network that connects different apps and platforms in real-time. They also created the Yellow SDK, a toolkit that developers can use to build high-speed, low-cost crypto apps without worrying about the technical side of blockchain.
At ETHGlobal Prague, one of the world’s biggest blockchain hackathons, over 200 teams competed, and 14 chose to build on Yellow’s SDK. Winning projects included apps for real-time payments, gaming, and subscriptions, proving that Yellow’s tools work in real environments with real users. One standout project, mivio, created an event payment and reward system in just a weekend using Yellow’s stack.
Yellow also launched NeoDAX, a toolset for institutions to build their crypto trading platforms. Instead of using old-school, centralized systems, NeoDAX lets brokers connect directly to Yellow’s clearing network, making trading faster, safer, and more efficient. It supports advanced features like high-frequency trading and cross-platform order routing, all built to work without middlemen.
To grow its builder community, Yellow introduced a $50,000 grant program to fund promising projects, focusing on real-world use cases like payments, DeFi tools, and social apps. The first round of grants is already supporting new teams building on the Yellow stack.
Yellow’s impact on blockchain is already visible. It’s helping developers create better apps, giving institutions a faster way to trade, and solving some of the biggest headaches in crypto infrastructure. With real adoption, working products, and a growing community, Yellow is not just building for the future… it’s building for right now.
