Cross-chain swaps are revolutionizing the way users interact with decentralized finance (DeFi), enabling seamless asset transfers across multiple blockchain networks without intermediaries. On Verse DEX, one of the leading decentralized exchange platforms, you can trade thousands of cryptocurrencies across different blockchains directly from your wallet. Whether you're using the Bitcoin.com Wallet app or connecting externally, Verse DEX offers a user-friendly and secure environment for cross-chain trading.
This guide walks you through everything you need to know about performing cross-chain swaps on Verse DEX — from setup and execution to fees, limitations, and troubleshooting.
What Is a Cross-Chain Swap?
A cross-chain swap allows users to exchange tokens between two different blockchain networks without relying on centralized exchanges or custodial services. For example, you can trade USDC on Avalanche for fxVERSE on Polygon directly through Verse DEX, leveraging automated routing and bridge mechanisms.
This non-custodial approach ensures full control over your funds while expanding access to a broader range of digital assets across ecosystems.

How to Perform a Cross-Chain Swap in the Bitcoin.com Wallet App
- Open the Bitcoin.com Wallet app on your iOS or Android device.
- Navigate to: Home > Verse Explorer > Verse DEX > Swap.
- Select the token you want to swap and the destination token.
- Choose the source and target blockchains (e.g., Avalanche to Polygon).
- Enter the amount and review the estimated output.
- Confirm the transaction details, including fees and slippage tolerance.
- Tap Swap and approve the transaction in your wallet.
Once confirmed, Verse DEX processes the swap by routing it through optimal liquidity pools and bridging protocols. You’ll receive the swapped tokens in your connected wallet address.
✅ Tip: Always ensure your wallet has sufficient balance to cover both the swap amount and network fees.
Performing Cross-Chain Swaps Outside the Bitcoin.com Wallet App
You don’t need to use the Bitcoin.com Wallet app exclusively. Verse DEX supports external web3 wallets like MetaMask, WalletConnect-compatible apps, and other EVM-based wallets.
Steps:
- Visit the Verse DEX web interface.
- Click Connect Wallet and choose your preferred web3 wallet.
- Approve the connection request in your wallet.
- Proceed to the Swap section.
- Select input/output tokens and chains.
- Review rates, fees, and estimated completion time.
- Confirm and sign the transaction.
After initiating the swap, track its progress directly on Verse DEX’s interface.
Which Blockchains Does Verse DEX Support for Cross-Chain Swaps?
Verse DEX currently enables cross-chain swaps across four major EVM-compatible networks:
- Ethereum
- Polygon
- Avalanche
- Binance Smart Chain (BSC)
These integrations allow flexible trading between ecosystems. For instance:
- Swap ETH on Ethereum for BNB on BSC
- Exchange MATIC on Polygon for AVAX on Avalanche
The platform dynamically routes trades using available liquidity and secure cross-chain bridges, ensuring efficient execution.
Do You Need a Web3 Wallet for Cross-Chain Swaps?
Yes. A web3 wallet is required to connect to Verse DEX and authorize transactions. Your wallet serves as both your identity and fund repository during the swap process.
Popular compatible wallets include:
- Bitcoin.com Wallet
- MetaMask
- Trust Wallet
- Coin98
- Any WalletConnect-supported wallet
Ensure your wallet contains enough native tokens (like ETH, MATIC, or BNB) to cover gas fees before starting a swap.

Can You Receive Tokens in a Different Wallet?
No. The swapped tokens will always be sent to the same connected wallet address used to initiate the transaction. Verse DEX does not support sending output tokens to an external or alternate address during a swap.
If you need funds in another wallet, complete the swap first, then transfer them manually.
Are There Fees for Cross-Chain Swaps?
Yes, three types of fees apply when performing a cross-chain swap:
- Exchange Fee: Varies based on chain, token pair, and route efficiency.
- Service Fee: A flat 2% fee on the swap amount, used to maintain platform operations.
- Network Fee (Gas): Paid to the blockchain(s) involved in processing and bridging the transaction.
Fees are displayed upfront before confirmation, so you know exactly what to expect.
Can You Cancel a Cross-Chain Swap After It Starts?
No. Once initiated, cross-chain swaps are irreversible and cannot be canceled. This is due to the decentralized nature of blockchain transactions and bridge protocols.
Always double-check:
- Input/output tokens
- Destination chain
- Estimated output
- Total fees
Before confirming any swap.
How Long Do Cross-Chain Swaps Take?
Swap duration depends on network congestion and bridge security protocols:
- Same-chain swaps: Confirmed within seconds.
- Cross-chain swaps: May take up to 30 minutes, depending on finality times across chains.
During periods of high traffic, delays may occur. Verse DEX provides real-time status updates so you can monitor each phase of the process.
Are There Restrictions on Swappable Tokens?
Verse DEX supports any token with sufficient liquidity on supported chains. However:
- Tokens must be listed and tradable on at least one integrated decentralized exchange.
- Low-liquidity or newly launched tokens may not have viable swap paths.
The system automatically detects available routes — if no path exists, you’ll see an error message explaining why.
Is There a Maximum Swap Amount?
Yes, but it varies dynamically based on:
- Available liquidity for the selected token pair
- Route capacity across bridges
- Slippage thresholds
Attempting to swap an amount too large for current market conditions will result in a “no route found” notification.
For large trades, consider splitting into smaller transactions.
How to Track Your Cross-Chain Swap Status
Verse DEX displays a live progress bar showing each stage:
- Approval
- Execution
- Bridging
- Final settlement

Additionally, check your wallet’s transaction history for real-time updates.
What Happens If a Cross-Chain Swap Fails?
Two scenarios may occur:
If failure occurs before bridging:
- Funds remain in the source chain.
- You may reclaim them after cancellation (if supported).
If failure occurs after bridging:
- The transaction cannot be reversed.
- Check your wallet balance and transaction logs carefully.
If funds appear missing or stuck:
Contact support immediately for assistance with recovery procedures.
Does Your Wallet Need a Minimum Balance?
While Verse DEX doesn’t enforce a minimum wallet balance, you must have enough native currency (e.g., ETH, MATIC) to pay gas fees on both source and destination chains — especially for cross-chain operations that involve dual-side validation.
Running out of gas mid-process can lead to failed or stuck transactions.
Are Cross-Chain Swaps Affected by Slippage?
Yes. Slippage — the difference between expected and executed price — can impact swaps, especially during high volatility.
Verse DEX sets a default 3% slippage tolerance. Routes exceeding this threshold are automatically excluded to protect users from unfavorable rates.
You can adjust slippage settings manually in advanced mode, but proceed with caution.
When Will New Tokens Be Added for Cross-Chain Swaps?
New tokens are added automatically once they gain liquidity on major DEXs within supported chains. No manual listing is required.

Can You View Your Cross-Chain Swap History on Verse DEX?
Currently, multi-chain swap history is not stored on Verse DEX’s interface. To track past transactions:
Use your wallet’s transaction history or blockchain explorers like Etherscan, Snowtrace, or BscScan.
Each completed swap appears as a series of on-chain events across involved networks.
Can You Provide Liquidity for Cross-Chain Swaps?
At this time, Verse DEX does not allow users to directly provide liquidity for cross-chain pools. The platform aggregates liquidity from existing decentralized exchanges and bridges rather than operating its own liquidity pools.
Future updates may introduce yield-generating opportunities — stay tuned for announcements.
Will Verse DEX Support More Blockchains in the Future?
While current focus remains on Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, and Binance Smart Chain, expansion to additional networks is possible based on:
- User demand
- Interoperability advancements
- Security audits
Potential candidates include Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and other Layer 2 solutions.
