EDUCATION / THE DEX

How ExoSwap works.

Understand the complete lifecycle of a non-custodial swap and how an aggregated quote becomes a real on-chain transaction.

The execution lifecycle

01

Connect your wallet

Use an EVM browser wallet or compatible WalletConnect session. Your private key never enters ExoSwap.

02

Select chain and contracts

Pick the exact blockchain and tokens. You can paste an unknown ERC-20 contract, but must review its risks before importing.

03

Request an executable quote

Our PHP backend requests a 0x route using the 0.50% integrator fee. Unavailable liquidity means the trade cannot proceed.

04

Review fees and approvals

Inspect minimum output, fee recipient, gas estimate, token approval spender and route. An approval itself is not a swap.

05

Confirm in your wallet

Only your wallet signs and broadcasts the transaction. On-chain operations are generally irreversible.

06

Verify the receipt

ExoSwap checks the blockchain receipt and stores only matching, confirmed transactions. Bridge status is tracked separately until destination settlement.

What makes a DEX different?

A decentralized exchange uses smart contracts or decentralized liquidity systems for asset execution. ExoSwap is a non-custodial interface and integrator, not a custodial account and not necessarily the operator of underlying pools. Users remain responsible for reviewing contract risks, slippage and bridge providers.
