Companies mentioned:
Wormhole has launched Portal Swap, a DEX integrated into its cross-chain bridge.
The feature is powered by Mayan Finance and allows users to swap tokens across different blockchains seamlessly.
The move aims to leverage Wormhole's existing user base to compete in the DEX market and create a self-sustaining ecosystem.
Wormhole, a leading cross-chain messaging protocol, has launched Portal Swap, integrating decentralized exchange (DEX) capabilities into its popular Portal token bridge.
This strategic move positions Wormhole to capture a share of the DEX market by offering its more than 1 million users a seamless, one-stop solution for both bridging and swapping assets across multiple blockchains. The new functionality is powered by Mayan Finance, a cross-chain swap auction protocol. The integration allows for both cross-chain and same-chain swaps, enabling users to start with any token on one chain and end with any token on another.
By adding swap functionality, Wormhole aims to create a self-reinforcing ecosystem. Increased transaction volume is expected to generate revenue that can be reinvested into platform development and security, enhancing its competitive position against other bridges and DEX aggregators.
