At 24 years old, CJ, the founder of Limitless, started trading derivatives and developing on-chain applications after dropping out of high school at 17.
During 2049, CJ Hetherington @cjhtech, the founder of the prediction market platform Limitless on the Base chain, met with Wu Wei.
CJ expressed his shock at Kaito's decision to deposit funds for participating in Limitless @trylimitless into Binance's wealth management after seeing Wu Wei's tweet. After intense negotiations and public outcry from the community, Kaito withdrew approximately $100 million back to the chain that same night.
Currently, Kaito @KaitoAI has over $140 million in funds, participating in Limitless with only a $1 million quota for the new issuance, which was oversubscribed by 140x. Limitless can be said to be the hottest new issuance project at the moment.
In the conversation, Wu Wei was surprised that CJ, at just 24 years old, already has 7 years of experience in the crypto space, having started trading derivatives and developing on-chain applications after dropping out of high school at 17, and has helped raise over $10 million for humanitarian causes.
He also mentioned that raising more funds is not always better; giving investors and exchanges too much leverage is an unhealthy development mechanism.
Currently, Limitless has raised $7 million through two rounds of financing, with investors including Coinbase Ventures, 1confirmation, Maelstrom, and Arthur Hayes also joining the company as an advisor.
Regarding the characteristics of Limitless, Wu Wei cites analyst @ChloeTalk1's comparison of Limitless with Polymarket @Polymarket.
Compared to Polymarket, which heavily relies on political themes, Limitless is more like an event derivative where anything can be a Perp.
Limitless places greater emphasis on mobile and user-friendliness, with advantages including consumer DNA, global advantages, efficient liquidity, scalable distribution, and smart monetization.
Finally, CJ and Limitless will be organizing a meetup and dinner in Hong Kong/Shenzhen next week, and interested community members can contact Wu Wei to participate.
As an onboarded investor in @trylimitless, I’m thrilled to see the team achieve an incredible $140M raise on Kaito (140x oversubscribed) 🎉
While there’s still room to grow, I genuinely believe Limitless is one of the most exciting mobile-native crypto products I’ve seen this year — and @cjhtech is easily one of the most hardworking Gen-Z founders out there. Gen-Z helping Gen-Z! ⚡
🚀 Why Limitless stands out in the prediction market race
While Kalshi is constrained by CFTC regulations and Polymarket leans heavily into politics, Limitless is quietly building a mobile-first, retail-driven prediction engine for a global audience.
Here’s why it’s special:
🧠 Consumer DNA: Strong product expertise with a focus on the retail options segment
🌍 Global edge: Expanding beyond U.S. regulatory limits — emerging markets like Korea are fertile ground
💰 Efficient liquidity: Cash LP rewards + token incentives reduce friction for new participants
📈 Scalable distribution: Atomic network activation enables viral, community-driven growth
🔁 Smart monetization: Curved-fee model aligns incentives and drives sustainable volume growth
Limitless isn’t just another prediction market — it’s a new category in motion.
