TABLE OF CONTENTS

Zenswap is a cross chain DEX designed from the ground up to make swapping assets across chains feel like using a single unified platform.

Instead of relying on bridges or wrapped tokens, @Zenswap_io uses native USDC routing and Analog’s GMP messaging layer to execute swaps securely and quickly.

It’s the first DEX built natively on the Analog ecosystem and represents a major step forward in how we think about omnichain tech. The platform was built in partnership with @soramitsu_co combining deep infrastructure expertise with Analog’s omnichain messaging protocol to deliver a fundamentally better user experience.

How It Works

At the core of Zenswap is something called Boost Mode, an intents based architecture. When you want to make a swap, say SOL to ETH, you don’t need to manually move assets, bridge tokens, or jump between chains.

Instead, you sign an intent: what you want to do and under what conditions. Off chain solvers then compete to fulfill that intent as efficiently as possible.

Once a solver fills your intent, the transaction is settled onchain, and everything is verified and sequenced using Analog GMP.

USDC Routing Mechanism

Zenswap uses @circle's CCTP to burn and mint native USDC across chains. This creates a unified liquidity layer that makes routing significantly more efficient. It also removes the need for multiple swap hops, minimizes slippage, and avoids the complexity of juggling multiple stablecoin wrappers or custom bridge tokens.

Built With Soramitsu

Zenswap wasn’t built in isolation. It was developed in collaboration with @soramitsu_co, one of the most respected teams in blockchain infrastructure. Their track record includes contributions to Polkadot, Hyperledger, and Sora, and they brought the same level of rigor and precision to this project.

Supported Chains

Zenswap will be live across a wide set of ecosystems. On the non EVM side, it supports @solana , @Polkadot, TON, and Bitcoin. On the EVM side, Zenswap works seamlessly with @ethereum, @BNBCHAIN, @0xPolygon, and much more.

You'll be able to move real assets directly between any of these chains using Zenswap without having to touch a bridge or a wrapped token. That includes everything from SOL to ETH to BTC to USDT, in a single click.

Built For Builders

If you’re building wallets, DEXs, or DeFi protocols, Zenswap is designed to plug in easily. The platform includes a dev friendly SDK and REST API that give you access to routing logic, swap execution, and liquidity status.

Why This Matters

Zenswap is more than just another DEX. It’s the first real world application that showcases what native interoperability on Analog looks like. It proves that you don’t need bridges or wrapped assets to deliver efficient and user friendly cross chain execution.

More than that, it sets the foundation for what the next generation of DeFi could be: faster, safer, and far more composable across ecosystems. With Zenswap, the entire idea of “cross chain” starts to feel a lot more like just “chain.”

Zenswap is going live soon.
