Chapter I

The promise

For years, moving value between blockchains felt like crossing borders with paperwork in hand. Wrapping, bridging, waiting. A new generation of crosschain protocols rewrites that story — one click, native settlement, sub-second fills.

Chapter II

Speed, redefined

Traditional bridges lock liquidity and wait for finality on both chains. Flashswap uses a competitive solver network: solvers front the destination liquidity instantly, then settle in the background. The result is execution that feels closer to a payment than a trade.

Every chain, one canvas

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Tron — thirty-plus networks become a single swap surface. Pick a token on the left. Pick a token on the right. The route, the bridges, the gas — all of it dissolves into a single confirmation.

Frequently asked

How do I swap ETH to BTC in one click?

Pick ETH on the FROM side and BTC on the TO side, enter an amount, connect your wallet and confirm. Solvers route the order across the best venues and settle native BTC to your address — typically under two seconds.

Can I swap USDT or USDC directly to BTC?

Yes. Flashswap supports USDT (Ethereum, Tron, BSC, Arbitrum…) and USDC (Ethereum, Base, Solana…) directly to native BTC. The reverse — BTC to USDT/USDC on any chain — works the same way.

Is a crosschain swap safer than using a centralized exchange?

You stay self-custodial: tokens move from your wallet to the destination wallet without ever sitting on a CEX. No signup, no withdrawal queue, no KYC for swaps.

Why is Flashswap faster and cheaper than traditional bridges?

Solvers front destination liquidity and compete for your order, so you get tight pricing and sub-2-second fills across 30+ chains.

Which chains and tokens are supported?

30+ chains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche and Tron — plus most major stablecoins and ecosystem tokens.
