Introducing Stacks Swap
Learn how Stacks Swap compares routes across Stacks DEXes to deliver the best available output in one atomic transaction.
Zest Protocol Stacks Swap finds the best price for every trade across Stacks DeFi. It searches every supported DEX, splits large trades when that pays more, and settles each swap in one atomic transaction.
Key Features
Best Price Across Stacks DeFi
Every quote compares hundreds of pools across Bitflow, Velar, ALEX and Arkadiko, plus Stacking DAO’s direct stSTX and stSTXbtc conversions, and takes the route with the best output.
Split Routes
Large trades can run as two swaps side by side, each with its own route, in one transaction. Each swap moves its pools’ prices less, so together they can return significantly more than the best single route. Stacks Swap splits only when that pays more after fees.
Multihop Routing
When no direct pool offers the best price, a route passes through intermediate tokens such as STX or USDCx.
All or Nothing, With a Guaranteed Minimum
Every swap is one atomic Stacks transaction. It delivers at least the minimum received shown before signing, enforced on-chain by post conditions, or it reverts and the tokens stay in the wallet.
Non-Custodial by Design
Tokens move from the wallet, through the pools and back within one transaction. Stacks Swap never holds funds: no deposits, balances or withdrawals.
