Introduction

THORSwap is a multi-chain DEX aggregator built on THORChain's cross-chain liquidity protocol and the #1 interface for its features: native cross-chain swaps, savers, liquidity providing, THORNames, synthetic assets & THORSafe multisig wallets.

Use cases​

  • Native cross-chain swaps from/to 5000+ assets (in-wallet swaps, multi-chain DEX)
  • Earn sustainable yield on native assets such as Bitcoin (based on trading fees)
  • Provide liquidity to native assets symmetrically/assymetrically
  • Use the same THORName across multiple chains

Services & components​

  • SwapKit API (swaps, LP management, savers native yield)
  • Tokenlists & prices
  • SwapKit Tracker
  • Aggregator contracts (connect chain-specific liquidity with THORChain)

A glimpse into the future​

  • Purchase NFTs with Bitcoin or any other assets
  • On-ramp from a stable coin to any asset
  • Open a staking position on an EVM chain with capital from a non-evm chain like BTC
  • THORFi for cross-chain decentralized lending
  • Cross-chain order book

Objectives​

THORChain's design is not capital-efficient for supporting a plethora of long-tail assets. THORSwap develops and operates a leading cross-chain DEX, leveraging THORChain to connect native assets like Bitcoin to the rest of DeFi in a single swap. THORChain's code base is fairly complex, objectively large and still iterating at a fast pace. On top of that, it integrates with multiple chains that are radically different from one another, making any integration a serious endeavour. THORSwap strives to build a developer-friendly layer that also extends past THORChain's core features.

Meet THORSwap Aggregator, a single-signature experience allowing trades from/to 5000+ assets.

By sourcing multiple liquidity procotols, we ensure users get the best possible rate, accounting for slippage and chain gas fees. SwapKit API resolves the most efficient paths for asset swaps, able to split between different protocols and even different market depths in the shortest possible time.
