Protocols
Who runs your swap — named, compared.
TorrentSwap is an aggregator: it asks several cross-chain protocols for a price at once, ranks the answers by what you actually receive, and tells you who will execute the swap. TorrentSwap never holds your funds.
| Protocol | Networks on TorrentSwap | Typical time | How funds are held |
|---|---|---|---|
| NEAR Intents | 17 networks | About 1–3 minutes between fast chains; around 30 minutes when Bitcoin is the source, because it waits for confirmations. | Held briefly by the intents deposit service until a solver fills the order. |
| Chainflip | 5 networks | Roughly 10–15 minutes with Bitcoin involved; 2–3 minutes between Ethereum, Arbitrum and Solana. | Held briefly in validator-run vaults (threshold signatures) while the swap settles. |
| Flashnet | 11 networks | Often the fastest route: about 1 minute between EVM chains and Solana, around 10 minutes with Bitcoin. | Held briefly at a Flashnet deposit address while the swap settles. |
| THORChain | 9 networks | Usually 10–30 minutes as a streaming swap; large payouts can be queued for up to about an hour. | Held briefly in validator-run vaults while the swap settles. |
| Pact Swap | 9 networks | As fast as the two chains confirm: a few minutes between EVM chains, about 10 minutes or more when Bitcoin is paid out. | Sent from your own wallet to the protocol's contract, which settles the swap. |

How TorrentSwap ranks routes
Every quote asks all live protocols at once. Routes are sorted by the amount you receive after every fee, and the top one is pre-selected. The fastest route is marked separately, so you can trade a little output for speed when it matters.
Protocols do not pay for placement. The TorrentSwap fee is the same whichever route you pick, and it is already included in every amount you see.
