About

What is KyberSwap?

KyberSwap is a DEX aggregator that routes swaps across 420+ liquidity sources. Its docs list 20 EVM chains for the aggregator. KyberSwap states it charges no platform fee on swaps made on KyberSwap.com or through its API, though it may collect positive slippage. KNC is its governance token, staked in KyberDAO.

How KyberSwap works

KyberSwap's Dynamic Trade Routing splits a swap across several DEXs on the same chain and shows you which DEXs were used and the percentage sent to each.

That lets you trade tokens that are not in KyberSwap's own pools. Before you confirm, the app shows an estimated output and a minimum received amount based on your max slippage setting, and the transaction reverts if the minimum is not met. The router can also cut transfers to save gas on fee-on-transfer tokens, which are common on BSC.

Cross-chain swaps work differently. KyberSwap compares live quotes from third-party protocols, including NEAR Intents, Across, Relay, deBridge, LI.FI, Mayan, Bungee and Symbiosis, and lists each option's rate, fee and estimated arrival time. This is how the app reaches Bitcoin, NEAR and Solana, which the same-chain aggregator does not cover. Limit orders are a separate product: you set your rate, and takers fill the order later.

How to start with KyberSwap

  1. There is no account.
  2. You connect a Web3 wallet such as MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, Safe or any WalletConnect app, pick a network and swap.
  3. To buy crypto with a card or bank transfer, KyberSwap embeds Transak at kyberswap.com/buy-crypto, supporting 50+ fiat currencies; Transak handles support for those purchases, and KyberSwap disclaims responsibility for third-party services.
  4. You also need the chain's native token for gas.

KyberSwap fees and limits

  • Other products do charge: limit orders 0.01% to 1% by token volatility, cross-chain swaps 0.05% to 0.25% by route, Earn 0.01% to 0.25% and Smart Exit 0.025% to 0.3%.

Same-chain swaps carry no KyberSwap protocol fee. Two things still reduce your output: if the price moves in your favor, the surplus above the estimated amount goes to KyberSwap, and tokens left unconsumed by a partial fill are collected by its Dust Collector. Both stay within your slippage limit. Network gas is extra.

Risks to know before using KyberSwap

  • On November 22, 2023, an exploit hit KyberSwap Elastic, its concentrated-liquidity pools.
  • The team's post-mortem says a rounding error in the tick-based swap math, missed by earlier audits, let attackers take about $55.2 million from 2,367 liquidity providers.
  • KyberSwap later reported paying grants covering 100% of affected funds to users who applied through its Treasury Grant Program.
  • The post-mortem limits the affected assets to Elastic liquidity pools.
  • For today's router, the audit list names Hexens for Dex Router V3.
  • Cross-chain swaps also depend on the third-party bridge or intent protocol you pick, and KyberSwap states it does not audit third-party services.
