Straight Swap and Cross Chain Bridging

Pairs provides both straightforward token swaps on a single blockchain and secure bridging between different blockchains, ensuring high liquidity and efficient market flow wherever you trade.
Intra-Chain Swaps
On a single chain, Pairs uses an Automated Market Maker (AMM) approach to power continuous token swaps. Instead of matching buyers and sellers through an order book, we rely on liquidity pools holding two different assets. Whenever someone trades one asset for the other, the protocol updates the proportions in the pool to maintain a constant product of the two token amounts (commonly noted as x \cdot y = k ). This model keeps liquidity available around the clock, making swaps smooth and immediate without depending on large centralized orders.
Cross-Chain Bridging
Pairs extends the same user-friendly experience to cross-chain operations through our Batch Protocol. Rather than leaving users to figure out multiple bridges or worry about complex withdrawal steps, we handle the flow of value between networks under one umbrella. Smart contracts coordinate the secure transfer of assets between chains, ensuring that whatever you lock on the originating chain is accurately unlocked on the destination chain. By using this aggregated approach, we reduce the cost and friction usually tied to cross-chain swaps, allowing users to move their assets where they need them most without missing a beat.
Together, these intra-chain and cross-chain capabilities lay the groundwork for a genuinely flexible DeFi platform—one where you can swap tokens swiftly on a single chain or bridge your assets across multiple networks without getting bogged down in technical barriers or exorbitant fees.
