What is Swaptain?

The Cross-Chain Trading Bot

Swaptain is a Telegram-based trading bot that lets you swap cryptocurrencies across 20+ blockchains — all from a simple chat interface. No browser extensions, no confusing DeFi interfaces. Just open Telegram, tap a few buttons, and trade.

Powered by THORChain's decentralised liquidity protocol and routed through SwapKit, Swaptain handles the complexity of cross-chain routing so you can focus on what matters: your trades.

No app downloads required — Swaptain runs entirely inside Telegram. Works on mobile and desktop.

Why Swaptain?

Traditional cross-chain trading is painful. You need to find bridges, manage multiple wallets across different chains, compare DEX rates, and navigate confusing interfaces. Swaptain eliminates all of that:

Simple — Tap-based Telegram interface with intuitive menus
Secure — Your wallet is encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a password only you know
Multi-chain — Trade native assets across 20+ blockchains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Avalanche, Cosmos, and more
Fast — Cross-chain transactions in minutes
Transparent — A single "Fees" line shows the total cost upfront. No hidden charges
Multilingual — Available in 15 languages
