Quick Overview
WarpGate lets users swap tokens across chains in a single transaction. It bundles a liquidity bridge, AMM and messaging layer sassets can jump to EVM chains (and vice-versa) with minimal slippage. As the first decentralized exchange, WarpGate serves as the ultimate hub for cross-chain DeFi, leveraging the MoveVM for enhanced security and performance.
or
WarpGate is a cross‑chain liquidity layer that lets users swap assets between any MoveVM‑compatible network and major EVM chains (Ethereum, BSC) or Aptos in one transaction. Tokens are locked on the source chain, routed through WarpGate’s liquidity relayers, then minted or released on the destination—eliminating multi‑step bridging and AMM hops.
Key Features
- Single‑Swap UX – bridge + swap combined into one click
- Deep Liquidity Pools – relayers seeded by partners (Helix, Nightly, Mosaic)
- Automatic Gas Conversion – receive native gas token on destination chain
- SDK & API – projects can embed WarpGate swaps in their dApps
- Volume‑Points Campaign – cross‑chain traders earn points toward the future $GATE token
