Energiswap Review 2026: A Small Uniswap-Style DEX on Energi

Energiswap is a Uniswap-based decentralized exchange on the Energi blockchain. It is a functioning but very small venue, so liquidity is the main concern.

Our verdict on Energiswap

4.5/10

Energiswap is a straightforward Uniswap-style exchange for people already using the Energi blockchain and NRG. Its main strength is a familiar, non-custodial swap design with a bug bounty behind it. The main caveat is size: liquidity is tiny, no audits are listed, and fees and team details are not published. It suits small swaps and experimentation within Energi, not large trades or anyone wanting deep markets.

What is Energiswap?

Energiswap is a decentralized exchange for the Energi blockchain. It was built from a modified version of the Uniswap protocol and describes itself as a fully decentralized protocol for automated liquidity provision. Users can swap ERC20-compatible tokens that exist on Energi.

The project is small. Its TVL is about $36,800, down roughly 3.4% over the past week, and one data page reports 24-hour trading volume below $100. The most active pair is reportedly WETH/WNRG. The Energi ecosystem's own token is NRG.

The homepage promises low fees, strong security and 24/7 support, but gives little detail behind those claims. No team, fee schedule or audit report is published in the material available. A bug bounty program is the main visible security measure.

How Energiswap works

Energiswap follows the Uniswap model. Instead of matching buyers and sellers, it uses liquidity pools, each holding two tokens. A formula sets the price based on the ratio of the two tokens in the pool, and each swap shifts that ratio.

Liquidity providers deposit both tokens of a pair into a pool and earn a share of trading fees. Their risk is impermanent loss, where the value of their deposit can lag behind simply holding the tokens if prices diverge. Traders use their own wallets, and the smart contracts handle the swap.

Energiswap runs only on the Energi blockchain. Its disclaimer states that assets traded on it must exist on Energi, and wrapped NRG (WNRG) is a core pair asset, with WETH/WNRG reported as the most active market.

6 features

Key features

01

Automated market maker

Swaps run through liquidity pools, in the style of Uniswap, so no order book or counterparty is needed.

02

Liquidity provision

Users can supply pairs of tokens to pools and are rewarded from trading activity, with the usual impermanent-loss risk.

03

ERC20-compatible swaps

Any token compatible with the ERC20 standard can be swapped for another, provided it exists on the Energi blockchain.

04

Energi-native trading

Trading is native to Energi and uses the NRG coin for gas, with WNRG as a wrapped pair asset.

05

Bug bounty program

The project runs a bug bounty program to encourage responsible disclosure of contract vulnerabilities.

06

Non-custodial design

Users trade from their own wallets, and the protocol is described as fully decentralized.

Pros and cons

What we like

  • Runs on a well-understood Uniswap-style design, so the mechanism is familiar.
  • Native to the Energi ecosystem, giving holders of NRG and Energi assets a place to swap.
  • Operates a bug bounty program for its contracts.
  • Non-custodial: users keep their assets in their own wallets.
  • Supports swaps between any ERC20-compatible tokens on Energi.

Watch out for

  • Liquidity is very thin: about $36,800 in TVL and a reported 24-hour volume under $100, so larger trades would move prices heavily.
  • No audits are listed for the contracts, and the team behind the project is not named.
  • It only supports assets that exist on the Energi blockchain, so it is not useful for mainstream tokens on other networks.
  • Fee levels are not stated in detail; the homepage only says "low fees".
  • The "24/7 support" and "unparalleled security" claims are marketing statements with no supporting detail published.

Energiswap fees

Energiswap does not publish a specific swap fee percentage in the material available. The homepage only says it offers low fees. Users would see the quoted price, price impact and any liquidity-provider fee in the swap interface before signing a transaction.

As on any chain, a network transaction fee is paid in the Energi native coin, NRG. With so little liquidity in the pools, price impact is likely to be a bigger real cost than any headline fee.

Is Energiswap safe?

Energiswap lists no audits. It does run a bug bounty, which signals some attention to contract security, but the project does not publish audit reports, a named team or a track record of incidents. The contracts are a modified Uniswap fork, and modifications can introduce risks that the original code does not have.

As a DEX, it holds no user funds directly. Even so, deposited liquidity is exposed to smart-contract bugs and impermanent loss, and low liquidity makes manipulation and heavy slippage more likely. Regulatory status is not stated. Treat any funds you commit as high risk and use small amounts.

6 steps

How to get started with Energiswap

  1. 1

    Set up a wallet that supports the Energi network and add the network details.

  2. 2

    Acquire some NRG for gas and for trading.

  3. 3

    Open the Energiswap app and connect your wallet.

  4. 4

    Choose the two tokens you want to swap and enter an amount.

  5. 5

    Check the price impact and slippage, which can be high in thin pools, then confirm the transaction.

  6. 6

    Start with a small trade to confirm the process works before moving larger amounts.

Who Energiswap is for

Energiswap suits existing Energi users who want to swap or provide liquidity for assets native to that chain. It is a poor fit for traders needing deep liquidity, tokens from other networks, or audited protocols with a named team.

Energiswap FAQs

What is Energiswap?

Energiswap is a decentralized exchange built on a modified version of the Uniswap protocol. It runs on the Energi blockchain and lets users swap tokens through automated liquidity pools instead of an order book.

Which blockchain does Energiswap use?

It runs on Energi, a separate blockchain with its own native coin, NRG. Its disclaimer says traded assets must exist on the Energi blockchain, so tokens from other networks cannot be traded directly.

What are the fees on Energiswap?

Energiswap does not publish a detailed fee schedule on its homepage, which only promises low fees. Users would see the exact cost and price impact in the swap interface before confirming a trade, plus the network gas fee on Energi.

Has Energiswap been audited?

No audits are listed for it, but the project runs a bug bounty program for its contracts. That is a positive signal, though it does not replace a published independent audit.

How much liquidity does Energiswap have?

The protocol's TVL is around $36,800, and one data page reports 24-hour volume below $100. Anyone trading beyond small amounts should expect wide spreads and high slippage.

Is Energiswap safe to use?

Not necessarily. Like any DEX it carries smart-contract risk, and liquidity providers face impermanent loss. With very little liquidity and no listed audits, it suits small, experimental use better than large holdings.
