Blackboard, a Singapore-based non-custodial multi-product trading terminal, will open its alpha phase on September 1, the company announced on Monday. The platform seeks to consolidate fragmented onchain markets by providing a single interface that connects users to established protocols and their native liquidity, reducing the need to switch between applications, wallets, balances, and chains.
The alpha launch marks the first step in a phased rollout designed to gather user feedback on behavior, product functionality, and platform stability while gradually expanding market coverage. Initially, the platform will support perpetual futures, prediction markets, options, tokenized securities and collectibles, trading cards, and other emerging products.
Access to the alpha will be granted through a waitlist system where participants can increase their Waitlist Score via platform activities and referrals, with higher-ranking users receiving earlier access. A limited number of Invite Codes will also be distributed via official partners and selected communities. All users will retain full control of their assets throughout the process, as the platform operates in a non-custodial manner.
The company stated that while the initial alpha cohort will include users already familiar with onchain markets, the long-term objective is to develop a trading product accessible to any market participant, regardless of their technical understanding of the underlying infrastructure. The alpha phase is positioned as a critical testing ground for this vision.
