How to trade

CrossCurve provides a user-friendly experience for conducting operations between different blockchains. All cross-chain transactions, such as token transfers, cross-chain stablecoin exchanges, and cross-chain buying and selling of assets, can be performed from a single interface.

Step 1. To access CrossCurve DEX, go to https://app.crosscurve.fi/.

Step 2. Go to the Trade section.

Step 3. Connect your wallet by clicking the Connect wallet button in the top right corner.

Step 4. In the FROM field, specify the token and the network from which you are sending. This can be done in a special modal window that appears when you click on the network or token icon.

Step 5. In the TO field, specify the token and the receiving network.

Step 6. In the FROM field, enter the amount of tokens you are sending. The amount of tokens you will receive in the TO field will be calculated automatically.

Step 7. Review the details of the cross-chain operation. In the dropdown menu, you can review the key details of the cross-chain operation:

• Routing details - full information about all cross-chain swaps for the selected transaction (details here)

• Expected amount - approximate amount you will receive after taking out the fee

• Total slippage - total effective slippage applied across all networks where a swap occurs during a cross-chain transaction, calculated as the sum of slippage percentages for each individual network involved in the transaction

• Fee - the sum of all fees for the swap transaction, including the bridge fee, DEX fee, and aggregator fee

Gas cost reflects the gas fee in Gwei (details here). Expected transfer time indicates the time the transaction is expected to take. The “You’ll get” line shows the amount of points you will receive in the loyalty programs of Airdrop Season 2 and MetaPoints (details here and here).

Step 8. Give the CrossCurve application Approve or Permit permission for the CrossCurve smart contracts to interact with the assets you are sending, as specified in the FROM field.

Step 9. Click the Swap button to execute the cross-chain operation.

If the transaction has a high price impact, an additional window will appear before signing the transaction, where you will need to confirm the operation. This is to prevent accidental loss of user funds.

Step 10. Sign the transaction in the wallet connected to the app.crosscurve.fi application.

After submitting a cross-chain transaction, you can track the progress of the cross-chain operation in the Transaction history:

Each cross-chain operation consists of multiple stages. In the Transaction history section, users can track the status of its execution and review its component transactions.

If a cross-chain operation was interrupted for any reason, you will see an appropriate notification in the Transaction history. The interface will provide options for further actions. For more detailed information, you can refer to the Error in Cross-Chain Operation section.

Modal window for selecting networks and tokens

A modal window is used for selecting networks and tokens:

On the left side, click on the desired network. The right side will display all available tokens for sending/receiving in that network. You can use the search function to find a specific token by its name or smart-contract address.

For your convenience, you can Search by name of the token’s ticker or by its smart-contract address.

Hovering over any token will show a quick link for adding that token to your wallet and a link to that token’s smart-contract address on the scanner.

When entering Advanced mode, you’ll see a filter for sorting tokens as: All, USD, ETH, BTC, Other
