Decentralized exchange (DEX) Zenswap has officially launched its public beta version, offering users a hands-on experience with cross-chain swaps in a secure sandbox environment, accessible via Analog’s native Environment.
Zenswap streamlines cryptocurrency trading and enhances security across multiple blockchains by enabling users to trade directly from their non-custodial wallets. It facilitates native execution across major blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Avalanche (AVAX), and others, while ensuring assets remain under user custody at all times.
Optimism (OP) integration is almost completed and is expected to go live in June 2025 while Solana (SOL) addition is scheduled to July.
This approach addresses a long-standing vulnerability in decentralized finance: the reliance on wrapped assets and bridges, which have been responsible for over $2.5 billion in DeFi exploits to date.
By leveraging USDC as a universal routing asset, Zenswap minimizes slippage, optimizes liquidity routing, and simplifies trading across disparate chains.
Alongside its public beta version debut, Zenswap is launching a quest-based testing framework to boost community engagement. Users will be able to complete interactive challenges, accumulate points, and stress-test the platform in a way that simulates real-world usage.
The platform boasts Boost Mode for near-instant cross-chain settlement and optimized route selection to ensure significantly lower fees than competing DEXs.
Zenswap is a joint venture between the Analog team, Soramitsu, and the SORA network.
