About DefiLlama Swap
DefiLlama Swap is built to make cross-chain token swaps intuitive and auditable. Behind the scenes a routing engine compares dozens of paths β direct bridges, multi-hop DEX routes, and pooled liquidity β then surfaces the best options with clear metrics: expected price, gas estimates, settlement time, and references to the on-chain transactions that will occur.
How it works β animated routing, simple choices
When you enter a swap, DefiLlama Swap quickly simulates candidate routes and presents them visually. Animated previews show liquidity flow between chains so you can see which pools and bridges are involved. Each candidate includes an on-chain proof link so technically-minded users can inspect the exact operations. This transparency reduces surprise and increases trust in cross-chain activity.
Security & Proof
Security is enforced by always executing settlement steps on-chain and exposing transaction hashes before and after execution. DefiLlama Swap never custody private keys β it provides the routing layer and UX while users sign transactions in their chosen wallet. For additional safety, every route includes fallback paths and timelocks to prevent stuck funds during complex cross-chain settlements.
Why users choose it
Users pick DefiLlama Swap for clear routing transparency, competitive pricing, and an educational UX that visualizes cross-chain behavior. Traders appreciate the aggregated liquidity and gas-aware routing; builders value the on-chain proof model that makes integrations auditable and composable.
