Swapping

Swapping operations and portfolio management tools in the Polkadot ecosystem.

Swapping tokens sits at the core of Decentralised finance (DeFi) operations undertaken on Decentralized exchanges (DEXes), because it enables users to retain full control of their funds, access a wider range of providers, and spread portfolio risk across different assets.

In the Polkadot ecosystem, swapping functionalities are further boosted by interoperability protocols which allow parachains to leverage each other's assets without any intermediaries.
