# OverView ChainArQ is the unified crypto swap, Dex aggregator and Bridge Aggregator We want to be responsible for building the **future tools for Crypto**. There are a lot of real-world problems that Crypto can solve but the tools to do so either don't exist yet or are segregated within their own silo communities. By applying real-world business standards to our development and growth strategy we are able to build scalable applications that reach across all networks, benefit all DeFi users, and encourage growth within this space in a safe and accountable manner. Our vision is to bring the functionality of Cross-Chain interoperability to the various services in the DeFi space, such as swaps, NFT marketplaces and Launchpads. Having launched our open Beta at the end of July 2023, we already enable cross-chain transactions between 7 blockchains, enabling thousands of assets to be swapped at the best rates possible. We are working on many exciting partnerships and will be the first to onboard several new blockchains in the coming months. Our goal is to provide users with a single dApp where they can access all the various servives that they might wish to use when interacting within the realm of Decentralized Finance. # Services Live Beta ChainArQ's first product is our Any to Any Swap which you can find here: [ChainArQ Swap](https://app.chainarq.com). You can trade any token on any of the chains we [support](https://gitbook.chainarq.com/faq/which-chains-are-supported) We are also able to provide custom services in the cross-chain space such as: * Assisting and integrating the onboarding of new blockchains * Customized Whitelabel solutions of our Swap on third-party DApps * Listing Tokens with preloaded tax/fee values on our pre-populated list of tokens # Dex Aggregator What is a DEX aggregator? The purpose of a DEX aggregator is to help users find the best rates for token swaps without needing to compare prices on different Decentralized Exchanges. Instead of relying on a single DEX, the aggregator aims to achieve 3 objects: 1. Finding the Best Price 2. Finding the Lowest Slippage 3. Reducing protocol and gas fees # Cross-Chain NFT Aggregator In Development There are currently a large number of NFT marketplaces each supporting a variety of chains. NFTs are usually only purchasable on a a couple of chains using the Native tokens of those chains. ChainArQ aims to bring the power of cross-chain functionality to the NFT space by enabling users to use ANY token from ANY chain to buy the NFT of their choice. # Fiat to Crypto Ramp In Testing As stated in our Vision Statement, our goal is to build the future tools of Crypto and to become a mainstream name in the space. To do that, we understand that we must not only make traversing the numerous chains easy, but we also need to combine that with a Crypto-Fiat Gateway. We will initially be leveraging third-party services until we are able to obtain all the required licenses to provide the service ourselves. # FAQ Please check here before opening a ticket on discord {% content-ref url="/pages/DdmTYMEyvwVNxZhJ2r4W" %} [What is ChainArQ?](/faq/what-is-chainarq) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/kdOn45fEIJmG6pnNVsyu" %} [Who can use ChainArQ?](/faq/who-can-use-chainarq) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/hqdgBNdaIELf94oUnfr8" %} [How does it work?](/faq/how-does-it-work) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/CG5FGEfSb10PVUPWPfrB" %} [Does it only work cross-chain?](/faq/does-it-only-work-cross-chain) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/ZY1HVt4W8ZrduWUqnO8m" %} [Which Chains are Supported?](/faq/which-chains-are-supported) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/ygAACus76v8lCV2RECbN" %} [Which Tokens are Supported?](/faq/which-tokens-are-supported) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/UWertsZXeFgaIgZpZp2A" %} [Whats the least I can swap?](/faq/whats-the-least-i-can-swap) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/kYoOdoKW5D9zGaZxokrF" %} [Which Wallets are Supported?](/faq/which-wallets-are-supported) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/JDYM2Bo9c1peaN7AgeJn" %} [Is ChainArQ a Bridge?](/faq/is-chainarq-a-bridge) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/hirm5b9i2UgM1V10g9uP" %} [Is ChainArQ Safe?](/faq/is-chainarq-safe) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/6iwd8NIZ9dKBrbishGEP" %} [Swap failed - Now what?](/faq/swap-failed-now-what) {% endcontent-ref %} # What is ChainArQ? ChainArQ is a crypto currency project with the aim of being a focal point for many existing services in the DeFi space. Our first product is a Swap that aggregates data from other aggregators, DEXs and bridges all in one place. With our proprietary algorithm we are able to provide some of the best routes for users wishing to trade crypto assets while offering safety and value for money. # Who can use ChainArQ? ChainArQ can be used by new and advanced crypto users alike to interact with any token on any of the chains we support. Our services are also available to other Crypto projects wishing to integrate our cross-chain services with their products. # How does it work? ChainArQ queries multiple aggregators, DEXs and bridges to enable users to do the following: * OnChain/Same Chain Swap on multiple chains * Cross-chain Swap any token pair simply and safely * Get the best rate possible when Bridging funds from our selection of supported bridges # Does it only work cross-chain? No! Our swap has the most advanced approach to same-chain or on-chain routing. When compared the big players like Pancake Swap, QuickSwap etc ChainArQ regularly returns exchange options which are either equal or more favorable than the usual single-chain swaps most people use.

On-Chain

# Which Chains are Supported? We currently support the following Chains, with many more to be added in the future: * Binance Smart Chain * Ethereum * Base * Polygon Network * Fantom * Avalanche * Arbitrum * Optimisim # Which Tokens are Supported? ChainArQ supports ALL tokens on the chains that we support. This includes tokens with taxes/fees, custom tokens only found on project DEXs including those ignored by the more popular aggregators, as well as the more popular tokens that can be found on most DEXs. # Whats the least I can swap? ChainArQ does NOT impose any minimum transaction limits. If you are performing a cross-chain swap, some of the bridges that we use might require you to exchange more than $10 worth. # Which Wallets are Supported? We currently support the following Wallets, with more to be added in the future: * MetaMask * Wallet Connect # Is ChainArQ a Bridge? No, ChainArQ is not simply a bridge, in fact we route transactions through several different bridges while enabling cross-chain transaction. In this way we are able to provide the best value for money route at any given moment # Is ChainArQ Safe? Every interaction with ChainArQ’s smart contracts is trustless, meaning that no one aside from the wallet owner can manually interfere with the transaction. Every step of a transaction occurs on the blockchain and can be viewed through the Swap History panel provided on our swap and can also be reviewed before being accepted by the user. We employ a policy of **Exact Amount Approval** when users interact with our smart contracts, meaning that you will only be exposed to our code for the duration of a single swap. in the future we will also have a user-driven rating mechanism so that dishonest projects will be flagged to deter others from interacting with them. # Swap failed - Now what? A swap can fail for several reasons such as a significant price fluctuation that might have happened during the execution of your swap on the destination token that you wanted to receive. **Not to worry! You will be automatically refunded!** In the rare scenario where that doesn't happen, we've provided a very simply mechanism for you to reclaim your funds in case they get stuck. All you need to do is select the Swap History panel and retrieve your funds with one click.

# Security and Risks ### General Risks in DeFi In a new and unregulated space, it is important to secure one's assets and be vigilant of the constant attempts by bad actors to get their hands on your money. Here are a few things to look out for: * Never share your seed phrase (including the QR code from your wallet) * Avoid downloading content from suspicious sources as they might contain Keyloggers which will copy the info to your wallet and give scammers access to your money * Always ensure that you are aware of which smart contracts you are allowing to interact with your wallet and what they are intended to do * If someone sends you an unsolicited private message on Discord or Telegram, do not click on any links they might send you, and do not share your screen with them # Supported Chains | EVM Chains | Chain Code | Chain ID | Native Token Address | | ----------------- | ---------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------ | | Ethereum | eth | 1 | 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE | | BNB Chain | bsc | 56 | 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE | | Polygon | polygon | 137 | 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000001010 | | Base | base | 8453 | 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE | | Fantom | fantom | 250 | 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 | | Avalanche C-Chain | avax | 43114 | 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 | | Optimism | optimism | 10 | 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE | | Arbitrum One | arbitrum | 42161 | 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE |
