Summary
Atmos wanted to create a true DeFi Super dApp based around three core primitives: a powerful DEX and swap aggregator, a token studio, and a portfolio tracker, while rewarding users through engaging social gamification.
Co-Founder and CEO Sidhant Sharma led a small team to create a vibrant ecosystem that includes Supra’s most popular DEX and an exciting suite of DeFi tools that empower people to trade, swap, make, and track everything they do on Supra.
Before starting Atmos, Sidhant worked in a variety of roles, including systems engineering, backend development, business development, and leadership, including serving as a tech lead at both Web2 and Web3 companies.
He was an experienced crypto investor who had helped his family and friends invest in digital assets for years, but still hungered to build something entirely his own.
Finding A Chain That Could Maximize The DeFi User Experience
As a skilled Web3 investor and tech lead, Sidhant wanted to build on a chain he knew would be secure, affordable, and scalable, which led him and his team to Supra.
“Everything we need to build a world-class product is right here within Supra… and that’s a huge advantage for us. Building on Supra lets us stay fully integrated, secure, and self-reliant.”
Sidhant was already considering building on a chain in the Move ecosystem, but the security, cost savings, and ease of integration with core services led him and his team to build on Supra rather than competitors.
Entering The Super dApp Showdown
Sidhant and his friends (later co-founders) first learned about Supra at a MoveCon event, and after meeting members of the Supra team and learning about its unique combination of services, they began seriously discussing the possibility of building on Supra.
“We got a lot of early feedback and learned how to iterate…and got all the technical support we needed directly from the Supra team. The responsiveness of the Supra team was next-level.”
Sidhant and his team built the MVP and launched the testnet during the Super dApp Showdown, which allowed them to work directly with the Supra team as they developed and perfected different iterations of Atmos.
He admits that, compared to other dApps on Supra, Atmos took quite a bit longer to go from testnet to mainnet, with the transition taking around six months.
Sidhant explained that, unlike some Supra dApps, Atmos wasn’t just a DEX; it included a DEX, a swap aggregator, and a portfolio tracker, all of which needed to work together seamlessly to provide a clean, fast, and fun user experience.
With continued support from the Supra team, Atmos slowly grew its user base during its testnet period, gained a noticeable following on X (nearly 10k followers), and eventually launched its mainnet on Sept. 23rd, 2025.
Building A World-Class Gamified DeFi Protocol
Sidhant and his team built Atmos so that users could do nearly all their Supra DeFi things in one place, while earning points and rewards every step of the way. To keep things fun and competitive, users can create a profile, gain followers, participate in time-sensitive Seasonal Missions, permanent Eternal Missions, and track their progress.
Atmos’s core DeFi tools include:
- AMM DEX: A decentralized exchange designed for high-speed swaps and deep liquidity, built to leverage Supra’s low-latency oracle feeds for accurate pricing and minimal slippage.
- Fair Launch Token Studio: A transparent launch framework that eliminates front-running and manipulation, letting projects raise capital securely while maintaining price integrity.
- Swap Aggregator: Atmos Smart Router is a swap aggregator that helps users find the most cost-effective path to swap two tokens on the Supra network, which it displays visually to make things even easier to understand.
- Portfolio Tracker: Create a profile and review all your StarKey wallet holdings, tokens created in the Token Studio, open positions on Atmos, and Supra NFT holdings.
“People are trading really actively on Atmos in a variety of different regions. We’ve had activity from around 100 different countries, and we were proud to see that, since it’s only been around 40 days since we launched.”
Real-World Results
Atmos currently has over $4M in trading volume, nearly $500k in TVL, more than 750k trades, and over 2,500 traders. Top active pools include $SURPA/$CASH, $supUSDT/$dexUSDC/$supUSDC, and $CASH/$dexUSDC, showing how Atmos has become a popular place for Solido users to gain extra yield on $CASH, Solido’s popular, crypto-backed stablecoin.

“Everything that they need to build a world-class product is right here within Supra. So whether they want to use oracles for price feeds or charts, an incentivization framework for attracting liquidity, or they need to leverage randomness, having these services together is a huge advantage for anyone who is looking to build in Web3.”
Building a Multi-Functional DeFi dApp on Supra
Today, Atmos is the most popular DEX on Supra by trading volume, and Sidhant and his team have recently added features, including multi-asset liquid staking powered by Supra Proof-of-Efficient Liquidity (PoEL). This allows Atmos to attract liquidity from different blockchains onto Supra, enabling LPs to earn high yields on their assets and additional yield from Atmos’s trading fees.
Atmos is also expanding the functionality of its swap aggregator, which it’s currently integrating across the Supra ecosystem into dApps like Solido, Crystara, and Ribbit Wallet.
Sidhant’s journey developing Atmos shows how, when everything you need to build is in one place, even a small team can create a complex, multi-functional DeFi protocol, with UX and features that rival VC-funded protocols with tens of millions of funding.
