About StellaSwap
StellaSwap is the first and leading decentralized exchange on the Moonbeam network, offering an integrated DeFi product suite with swapping, yield farming, and asset bridging features.
StellaSwap is a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) on Polkadot, built on the Moonbeam network. With a focus on fast, low-slippage trading, StellaSwap combines a user-friendly design with advanced DeFi infrastructure.
As the gateway to DeFi on Polkadot, StellaSwap offers trading, liquid staking, and cross-chain capabilities in one place, helping users unlock high yield opportunities and seamless interoperability.
StellaSwap is the flagship decentralized exchange (DEX) on Moonbeam, part of the Polkadot ecosystem. It offers a complete DeFi suite including trading, liquidity farming, cross-chain swaps, and liquid staking. As an EVM-compatible platform, it brings seamless user experiences and capital efficiency to the Polkadot multichain environment.
Since its launch in January 2022, StellaSwap has grown into a leading DeFi protocol on Moonbeam by trading volume and total value locked (TVL). It supports a wide range of stablecoins, native and wrapped tokens, and features a high-performing concentrated liquidity AMM engine. Built in collaboration with Algebra, StellaSwap V4 enables dynamic plugin architecture, helping users earn more with less friction.
The protocol emphasizes low-slippage trading, deep liquidity provisioning, and a community-first governance model via its native token STELLA. With integrations across cross-chain infrastructure (e.g. Axelar, Squid, Wormhole), StellaSwap bridges liquidity between EVM and Substrate ecosystems. It competes with cross-chain and Polkadot-native DEXs like Quickswap, Lido, and Beefy, while focusing on composability and capital optimization for the Moonbeam chain.
StellaSwap provides several powerful benefits and features such as:
- Concentrated Liquidity: LPs can concentrate funds in precise price ranges to optimize yield and reduce slippage, achieving up to 4,000x capital efficiency.
- Modular Plugin System: Customize features like limit orders, impermanent loss protection, dynamic fees, and gas-saving tools — all without migrating liquidity.
- Off-Chain Rewards Engine: No need to manually stake LPs. Users earn automatically through StellaSwap’s unique off-chain rewarder, which updates every 5 minutes and pays out hourly.
- Liquid DOT Staking with stDOT: Stake DOT and receive stDOT, a yield-bearing token usable throughout DeFi. Instantly liquid, with no unbonding period.
- Cross-Chain Swaps: Swap tokens across multiple chains in a single click. Powered by Axelar, Squid, and Wormhole.
- Telegram Position Tracker: Get real-time notifications when LPs go out of range so users can optimize and maintain earnings.
- xSTELLA Revenue Sharing: Stake STELLA into xSTELLA to earn a share of swap revenue and participate in governance.

StellaSwap FAQ
StellaSwap V4 uses a modular architecture with customizable plugins that enhance the trading experience. Unlike Uniswap V4 hooks, Stella’s plugins can be updated without requiring liquidity migration. Features include dynamic fees, limit orders, and gas optimization, making it more user-friendly and capital-efficient. This flexibility allows users to tailor the DEX experience to their needs while maintaining security and efficiency.
stDOT is StellaSwap’s liquid staking derivative representing staked DOT.xc. Users receive stDOT instantly upon staking and can use it across DeFi protocols. Unlike traditional staking, stDOT is a yield-bearing token (not rebasing), meaning its value increases over time instead of the quantity. This allows for greater composability and liquidity without needing to wait through unbonding periods.
StellaSwap’s Off-Chain Rewarder automatically tracks LP positions and distributes rewards hourly, calculated every 5 minutes. LPs no longer need to manually stake their tokens to start earning. This system saves gas, simplifies the earning process, and ensures rewards are always accruing. It enables passive DeFi income with minimal effort, improving overall efficiency for users and developers.
Security is a top priority. StellaSwap V4 is built on Algebra’s AMM engine, which has passed audits from Hexen and ABDK (the same firm that audited Uniswap). StellaSwap is also undergoing an independent audit to reinforce platform safety. The team is committed to maintaining transparency and security through continuous testing, community feedback, and audit disclosures. Audit details are shared at docs.stellaswap.com.
StellaSwap competes with DEXs like Quickswap, Beefy, and Lido, but stands out by integrating concentrated liquidity, off-chain rewards, and liquid staking into a single platform on Moonbeam. Its cross-chain swaps via Axelar and Squid offer seamless EVM-to-Polkadot connectivity, while its fair launch model and plugin-based V4 architecture ensure long-term sustainability and superior user experience.
