TorrentSwap

How it works

How TorrentSwap works

Pick a pair, compare the protocols that can execute it, send once. TorrentSwap shows you who runs each route and what you get after fees, and never holds your funds. There is no account to create.

The five steps

  1. 01

    Pick a pair

    Choose what you send and what you want back from 38 assets on 17 networks. The asset and the network are always shown together, so USDT on Tron is never confused with USDT on Ethereum.

    • Cross-network and same-network pairs
    • Only pairs with a live route can be selected
  2. 02

    Compare named routes

    TorrentSwap asks every protocol that can execute your pair for a quote at once and lists the ones that answer — by name. Routes are ranked by what you receive after all fees; the best-paying one is pre-selected and the quickest is marked. You can choose any of them.

    • Amount you receive, fees included
    • Protected minimum and time estimate per route
    • The protocol that will hold your deposit while it settles
  3. 03

    Add two addresses

    Paste the address that should receive your coins and a refund address on the network you send from. Both are checked against the network's address format before a deposit address is created.

    • Destination on the receiving network
    • Refund address you control on the sending network
  4. 04

    Send — or pay from your wallet

    You get a one-time deposit address with the exact amount, as text and as a payment QR code. Send it from any wallet or exchange withdrawal. Or connect a supported wallet and approve a single transfer: connecting only reads your public address, and nothing moves until you approve.

    • Works from exchanges and hardware wallets
    • Wallet connection is optional
  5. 05

    Track it to the end

    The swap is saved on this device and tracked automatically from the moment the deposit is seen: confirming, swapping, sent, or refunded. No transaction hash to paste, and a private link you can reopen later.

    • Automatic status updates
    • Refunds go to the address you set

Who executes your swap

Open protocols, named on every quote

These are the protocols live on TorrentSwap today. Each quote tells you which one would run your swap and how it handles your deposit.

Compare the protocols

  • NEAR Intents

    Solvers compete to fill your swap at the best price.

    Held briefly by the intents deposit service until a solver fills the order.

  • Chainflip

    Decentralised cross-chain AMM for native assets.

    Held briefly in validator-run vaults (threshold signatures) while the swap settles.

  • Flashnet

    Fast cross-chain settlement network.

    Held briefly at a Flashnet deposit address while the swap settles.

  • THORChain

    The original decentralised cross-chain liquidity network.

    Held briefly in validator-run vaults while the swap settles.

  • Pact Swap

    Cross-chain DEX for native BTC, ETH and more.

    Sent from your own wallet to the protocol's contract, which settles the swap.

Honest scope

What TorrentSwap does, and what it doesn't

An accountless swap is private by design, not invisible. Here is exactly where the lines are.

No account

No sign-up, no email, no profile. You bring your own addresses.

Never holds funds

Deposits go to the executing protocol, never to a TorrentSwap balance or wallet.

Wallets stay yours

Connecting is optional and read-only until you approve one transfer.

Blockchains are public

Your deposit and payout are visible on-chain. Protocols can screen deposits, for example against sanctions lists.

FAQ

Common questions about the flow

Who holds my funds during the swap?

TorrentSwap never holds your funds. The protocol named on your route holds the deposit briefly while the swap settles — for example in validator-run vaults (Chainflip) or a deposit service that a solver fills (NEAR Intents) — and pays out to your address.

Why are there several routes for one swap?

Different protocols hold different liquidity and wait for different numbers of confirmations. Showing them side by side lets you trade a slightly better amount against a faster time, and see who executes each one.

Do I have to connect a wallet?

No. Copying the deposit address into any wallet works on every route. Connecting a wallet is a convenience for supported networks: it fills your address and lets you approve the exact transfer in one step.

What if the price moves before my deposit arrives?

Each route shows a protected minimum. If the protocol cannot deliver at least that amount, it refunds the deposit to your refund address instead of swapping at a worse price.
