Decentralized Finance, or DeFi, has sparked the interest of many people in the open finance industry, and while Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) are prospering as a result of this new interest, one key issue they face is liquidity fragmentation. With network congestion and inadequate scalability leading to an increase in network transaction costs, a solution was required to address these issues.

Although layer 2 solutions and sidechains have been proposed to address these issues, transaction barriers across blockchains have proven to be a disincentive in this situation. O3 Swap aims to address all of these concerns by developing a cross-chain protocol that connects multiple blockchains and allows users to freely trade assets without being isolated from the network.

What is O3 swap?

The O3 Swap is a cross-chain aggregation protocol developed by O3 Labs with the goal of allowing users to exchange or “swap” digital assets within their O3 Wallet. Cross-chain aggregation means that they source liquidity from multiple providers on different blockchain networks. Normally, exchanging cryptos between various blockchain networks is impossible. Users will be able to easily exchange (or swap) different crypto assets from their O3 Wallets using O3 Swap.The O3 Wallet is a decentralized open-source wallet built on top of high-quality fundamental networks like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Neo.

O3 Swap released the NEO swap module in Q1 2021. It brings together significant liquidity sources from some of the most well-known decentralized exchanges, allowing users to choose the most cost-effective trading routes. As a result, users may trade without fear of hidden costs or limitations.

Why O3 swap?

High transaction costs, network congestion, and non-scalability have become the new normal as decentralised finance (DeFi) continues to gain traction. O3 Swaps is ahead of the game, aiming to provide a one-stop exchange and aggregation platform for crypto assets for both its consumers and developers. It effectively removes the inter-blockchain asset usage limit.

Main characteristics:

  • Cross-chain exchange: The cross-chain aggregation protocol developed by O3 Swap removes the transaction barrier that exists across blockchains. In a single click, users are able to trade multi-chain cryptos on BSC, Huobi Eco Chain, Ethereum, Neo, and other popular layer 2 projects.
  • Permissionless: KYC is not required to access the platform. O3 Swap also enables true anti-censorship since it partnered only with DEX liquidity providers.
  • Liquidity Aggregation: Having several liquidity providers as partners, O3 Swap’s users will always get the best rates possible
  • Community-driven: It supports decentralised governance using O3 Swap Tokens, ensuring that the community’s opinion is heard.

How to use O3 Swap?

Using O3 Swaps is a simple and basic process. All you have to do is connect your wallet to the O3 Swap website. The O3 Wallet and NeoLine are supported by the Neo Swap as of April 2021, but the ETH, BSC, and Heco cross-chain swaps only support Metamask.

After you’ve connected your wallet, start the Swap by selecting “From” and “To” and enter the amount you want to swap.

A step-by-step guide is presented below:

Why O3 Wallet?

  • Enhanced Privacy: Users may generate new addresses for each time they swap or acquire cryptos using the O3 Pay dAPI. This new address, however, is linked to your account.

Furthermore, O3 does not need you to create an account with them. This ensures that your true identity remains hidden. Because O3 does not keep your private key outside of your device, you will be in charge of it. This guarantees that the funds in your O3 wallet are only accessible to you.
  • Sending cryptos both on-chain and off-chain: Users of the O3 wallet may transfer and receive cryptocurrency, as well as pay for services, directly from their wallets. O3 Swaps allow for off-chain settlements that are completely free and may be done immediately from your wallet.
