Quick Fact
StackSwap launched in 2021 as the first complete decentralized exchange and launchpad on the Bitcoin network via the Stacks layer. It enables trustless token issuance, swapping of BTC, USDC, and STX-based tokens, and introduces yield farming mechanisms like group farming and staking using its STSW token.
StackSwap is the first decentralized exchange (DEX) protocol deployed on the Bitcoin network via the Stacks blockchain. It enables trustless token creation, automated trading, yield farming, and launchpad functions through smart contracts anchored to Bitcoin’s security layer. As a pioneer in Bitcoin-layer DeFi, StackSwap bridges Bitcoin’s monetary base with Ethereum-style programmability, offering users a secure, composable, and decentralized trading experience.
StackSwap runs on Stacks, a Layer 1 blockchain that brings smart contract functionality to Bitcoin through Clarity — a predictable, decidable smart contract language. All transactions on StackSwap are settled with finality on Bitcoin, enhancing auditability and censorship resistance.
Users can mint their own fungible or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) directly on StackSwap. The protocol supports decentralized project launches through its token launchpad infrastructure, streamlining access to liquidity and community fundraising.
StackSwap incorporates AMM-style liquidity pools, allowing users to provide liquidity in exchange for swap fees and staking rewards. It also features AI-powered group farming, enabling coordinated staking strategies across multiple tokens to enhance reward optimization.
