Shorter is EVM-compatible and will support Ethereum, BNB Chain and other EVM-compatible chains, allowing users to interact via MetaMask and similar tools. The IPI Labs founding team comprises analysts, developers and crypto experts and currently numbers over 80 employees, with plans to grow to more than 150 by the end of the year and potentially as large as 200 by 2023. Shorter Finance plans to launch its testnet in the spring with a mainnet launch shortly thereafter.
