Trove is a perpetual DEX for trading collectibles, RWAs, and equities with up to 5x leverage, initially on EVM then pivoted to Solana.

Green flags: Working beta v2 product with real features (TWAP, TLP, referrals) · Raised $11.5M in ICO showing investor interest · Small following (<16k) fits early-stage profile
