Canto Dex
DEXes · Canto
Canto DEX is a decentralized exchange on the Canto EVM chain that charges no fees to liquidity providers. It suits people who already use Canto and accept the chain's small size and limited public disclosures.
ScoreScore 4.5 out of 10TVL $0 - 3
Velocimeter V2
DEXes · Base, Pulse, Mantle +1
Velocimeter V2 is a small decentralized exchange that pairs StableSwap pools with standard pools and routes trading fees to people who lock its FLOW token. Liquidity is very low and no audits are listed, so it suits only experienced users who accept that risk.
ScoreScore 4.3 out of 10TVL $22.9K−0.7% - 4
LeetSwap
DEXes · Base, Op_Bnb, Manta +5
LeetSwap is a multichain automated market maker DEX with farms and LEET staking. Its reported 2023 Base exploit and unclear current operating status make checking that the service is live and assessing contract risks essential before use.
ScoreScore 3.5 out of 10TVL $160K−2.1% - 5
Forteswap
DEXes · Canto
Forteswap is an automated market maker exchange on the Canto network, where users swap tokens and provide liquidity from smart contracts. Current listings show no recent trading activity, so check that the app still works before relying on it.
