Sunswap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol designed to make token swapping intuitive and cost-effective. It uses automated market maker (AMM) pools under the hood so that anyone can provide liquidity and earn fees. The project emphasizes low gas overhead, clean UX, and strong documentation for developers building wallets, dashboards, or bots on top of the protocol.
Sunswap blends accessibility with power-user tools. Beginner traders appreciate the guided swap flow and price impact indicators; liquidity providers like composability with farming and single-sided deposit options. The protocol aims to keep on-chain operations efficient, reducing unnecessary approvals and on-chain calls.
At its core, Sunswap operates on AMM principles where token pairs are pooled and priced algorithmically. A typical swap follows these steps: connect your wallet, select tokens, preview price and slippage, approve token (if needed), and confirm the transaction. Routing logic may split swaps across multiple pools when that reduces price impact.
1. Choose a wallet (MetaMask, Ledger, etc.). 2. Connect and fund your wallet with base chain tokens. 3. Visit the swap page, choose the tokens and amount, and confirm the swap.
Sunswap provides a lightweight JavaScript SDK and REST endpoints to query pair reserves, expected output, and submit signed transactions. Check the docs for SDK examples and contract addresses for testnets and mainnet.
Is Sunswap custodial? No — you always keep control of your keys.
How can I provide liquidity? Add token pairs on the liquidity page and stake LP tokens if you want additional rewards.
Where are the fees shown? Fees and historical earnings are visible on each pool’s detail page.
