SwiftEx offers a multi-chain DEX with fiat support, giving global traders a secure way to bridge and trade assets via SDEX and Stellar Anchors.
Traditional centralized exchanges often come with lack of user control over assets, high fees, and limited access to multi-chain trading. Centralized exchanges can be vulnerable to security breaches, while fiat-to-crypto conversions remain difficult due to local country regulations and operability.
However, DEXs also have challenges, such as complex bridging processes, lack of in-app fiat on/off-ramps, and incapability for high-frequency trading.Many DEXs rely solely on AMM swaps, limiting trading strategies and often leading to high slippage and poor price execution.
SDEX’s orderbook model enables high-frequency, low-fee trading, but lacks:
Multi-chain asset access (e.g., ETH, SOL → XLM).
Seamless fiat integration (despite Stellar’s anchor network).
Aggregates Stellar AMM / SDEX orderbooks with major chains and AMMs (e.g., Uniswap, PancakeSwap)
Enables 1-click, cross-chain trades with best-price execution (more details mentioned in Mainnet deliverables)
Supports API-based and SEP-6 / SEP-24 integration for seamless fiat deposits and withdrawals (USD, EUR, etc.)
Already partnered with:
Alchemy Pay
MyKobo
OnRamper
Onramp.money
Integrated with Allbridge to enable 1-tap cross-chain swaps with seamless execution and a smooth, intuitive UI
Users can swap assets like ETH → USDC → XLM in a single flow — no manual bridging required
In the next phase, we’re expanding cross-chain capabilities through integration with our official partner, Changelly, to support a broader range of assets and networks
Maybe in the future, but not in this submission

Description: SwiftEx will enable users to seamlessly bridge, swap, and trade assets in a single streamlined process. Users can input all necessary details upfront (Amount, tolerance and Asset details), and the system will handle multi-step operations like bridging and trading (via SDEX) through a backend proxy server. Once one step completes, signed transactions will automatically execute the next step on the Stellar blockchain, ensuring a smooth and efficient user experience.
Additionally, users will have the ability to bridge Stellar assets back to their multi-chain wallets effortlessly. This process may involve automated multi-step swaps (e.g., converting Stellar assets into USDT via SDEX before bridging to another blockchain) to simplify complex workflows.
Example Use Case: A user imports ETH or BNB from their multi-chain wallet, swaps it for BTC on SDEX, and receives BTC in their wallet—all in one operation. Demo : - https://vimeo.com/1075076753?share=copy
Similarly, user can bridge a Stellar asset to USDT and transfer it to their desired blockchain seamlessly.
Backend Setup: Proxy Server with a 3rd Party Node for Stellar connectivity.
How to measure completion: Successful deployment of fully operational Functionality on Play/App Store Live.
Estimated date of completion: 6 weeks post-testnet Completion.
Budget: $20,000
