Trench
Trench is a multi-market trading terminal built at Covalent that unifies memecoins, perpetuals, and equities in a single interface, with real-time alpha signals, smart-wallet tracking, and sub-second execution on Solana and Hyperliquid.

the call
Two execution venues with different finality models, in one interface, without the UI ever showing a position that is not real. Solana and Hyperliquid disagree about when a trade is settled, so the transaction-building layer had to be the thing that owned truth rather than the frontend. That decision is why routing could go sub-second without the terminal lying about state.
