What is roodswap?

roodswap is a non-custodial, multi-chain interface for swapping, bridging, selling, and sending crypto — no accounts, no KYC, and you sign every transaction from your own wallet.

The short version

roodswap is a web app for trading crypto across chains. You connect your own EVM or Solana wallet, pick what you want to do, and sign it yourself. Same-chain or cross-chain, it works the same way.

There are no accounts. No email, no sign-up, no KYC. roodswap never holds your funds. They move from your wallet straight to the destination token or address. roodswap cannot hold, freeze, move, or recover them. Crypto transactions are irreversible.

What you can do

  • Swap — trade any token for any token.
  • Bridge — move assets from one chain to another.
  • Sell — cash any token into USDC on its own chain.
  • Send — transfer tokens to any wallet address. EVM native coins and ERC-20, native SOL and SPL tokens all work today.

How you get a fair rate

roodswap does not run one router and hope for the best. It queries dozens of DEXs and bridges through several routing engines at once, compares every route, and picks the one that leaves you with the most output after fees. This is best-route aggregation.

The service fee is a flat 0.1%, already included in the rate you see — no hidden markup. On top of that you pay network gas and the underlying DEX or bridge fee, with gas listed on its own line whenever the engine reports it and the venue's fee already deducted from the output you see. A plain transfer — the same token, on the same chain — is gas-only, with no service fee. Any send we route for you, whether that means a different token or a different chain, carries the 0.1%. Before you sign, you always see the minimum you will receive.

Reads go through our own RPC proxy — a premium provider first, then nodes we run ourselves, then a public endpoint — so one provider failing does not take the app down. Your transaction is broadcast by your own wallet.

The chains

Majors include Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana, plus a growing long tail of newer EVM chains — for example the Robinhood chain, MegaETH, and others. Any of them can be the source or the destination.

Cross-ecosystem swaps — say SOL to ETH — need a wallet connected on both sides, so there is an address to send the output to.

Who it is for, and how it differs from an exchange

roodswap is for anyone who already has a self-custody wallet — MetaMask, Rabby, Phantom, Solflare, or similar — and wants to trade or move tokens across chains without handing custody to a third party.

A centralized exchange takes your deposit, holds it, and asks for your identity. You trust the company to keep your funds and give them back. roodswap does none of that. You keep your keys, you keep your funds, and you approve every transaction. The trade-off is that irreversibility and gas are yours to manage — there is no support desk that can reverse a signed transaction.

NOTE

roodswap never takes custody. Read every quote before you sign, especially the minimum you will receive — once a transaction is signed and sent, it cannot be undone.
