Molten V3
DEXes · Core

IcecreamSwap V3
DEXes · Core
IcecreamSwap V3 is a Uniswap V3 fork on Core Chain, part of the wider multi-chain IceCreamSwap platform. Liquidity is very small, so it suits experimenters more than active traders.

ArcherSwap
DEXes · Core
ArcherSwap is a small automated market maker on Core Chain that offers swaps, farms and staking, with NFT and GameFi features mentioned. It has very little liquidity, and its homepage now points to a testnet.

IcecreamSwap V2
DEXes · BOB, Core, XDC +8
IcecreamSwap V2 is a multi-chain decentralized exchange that began on the Bitgert chain and now pitches itself as a way to compare swap routes from several aggregators. TVL is very small and no audits are listed, so treat it with caution.

SatoshiCoreSwap
DEXes · Core
SatoshiCoreSwap is a CoreDAO-focused DEX that advertises concentrated liquidity for trading volatile and stable tokens. Its basic model is clear, but missing details on fees, pools and audits make it hard to assess before use.
ScoreScore 4.0 out of 10TVL — - 9
COREx Network
DEXes · Core
COREx Network is described as a DEX in the Core ecosystem with one-click smart-money copy trading. Its available product details are sparse, and the website’s broader financial-service claims are not clearly reconciled with that description.
ScoreNot rated yetTVL $575−3.0% - 10
Viridian Exchange
DEXes · Core
Viridian Exchange is described as an automated market maker on Core that shares trading fees and offers Lock & GovEarn incentives. Its exchange details are difficult to verify because the listed website describes Viridian Metals, not a crypto platform.

DEXes · Core
Molten V4 is documented as a concentrated-liquidity automated market maker on Core, built using Algebra Integral. Its basic design is described, but key details for traders and liquidity providers—including fees, live access, and security reviews—are not established.
