Garudaswap Review 2026: A BNB Chain AMM With Farming Pools

Garudaswap is a decentralized exchange on BNB Chain that pairs automated market maker swaps with yield farming pools. Its perpetuals and vault products are listed as coming soon, and the public information on fees, audits and the team is sparse.

Our verdict on Garudaswap

Garudaswap suits users who already know how automated market makers and yield farming work and who are comfortable with BNB Chain. Its main strength is a familiar swap and farming setup on a low-fee network. The main caveat is that audits, fees, licensing and team details are not published in the material reviewed, and the perpetuals and vault products are still listed as coming soon. Advertised yields should be treated as variable, and smart-contract risk applies to every deposit.

What is Garudaswap?

Garudaswap is a decentralized exchange on BNB Chain. It offers token swaps through an automated market maker and yield farming and staking pools that pay rewards to depositors. The project's own marketing describes it as a permissionless exchange with a range of pools, including stablecoin pools with high advertised yields.

The product list shown in public reporting also includes a perpetuals trading product with an on-chain order book and a vault product, both marked as coming soon. Those features were not yet live in the sources reviewed, so they cannot be judged on performance or risk.

Garudaswap appears in public reporting alongside other projects that share a launchpad and farming setup, and some results date back to 2021. That history suggests the project has been around for several years, but it does not show current trading volume or user numbers, and those figures are not published in the material available here.

How Garudaswap works

Garudaswap is an automated market maker, which is a type of decentralized exchange. Instead of matching buyers and sellers, it holds pools of two or more tokens. The price of each token is set by the ratio of the tokens in the pool, and a trade changes that ratio. Traders pay a fee on each swap, and that fee is shared with the people who supplied the liquidity.

Liquidity providers deposit a pair of tokens into a pool and receive a share of the trading fees. Garudaswap also runs farming and staking pools, where depositors can earn additional rewards, often paid in a project token. These rewards are what the project advertises as high yields, and they depend on how much is deposited and how the rewards are set.

The project also lists perpetual futures and a vault product as planned features. Perpetuals let traders take leveraged long or short positions without an expiry date, and they require collateral that can be liquidated if the position loses value. These products are described as coming soon, so their mechanics cannot be assessed from use yet.

Pros and cons

What we like

  • Offers token swaps and farming pools on BNB Chain, a network with low transaction costs compared with Ethereum
  • Uses a standard automated market maker design that many users already understand
  • Lists a broader product roadmap, including perpetuals and a vault, which would widen its use if launched
  • Stablecoin pools are among the advertised options, which can suit users who want to avoid price swings

Watch out for

  • Audit reports, team identities and licensing are not published in the material this review could find
  • Advertised farming yields are described as very high, and yields of that size usually depend on token emissions that can fall sharply
  • Perpetuals and vault products are listed as coming soon, so the derivatives side cannot yet be judged in use
  • Smart-contract risk applies to every pool, and a bug or exploit could lead to loss of deposited funds
  • Liquidity on a small BNB Chain exchange can be thin, which can make large trades move the price

Garudaswap fees

Garudaswap does not publish a fee schedule in the material this review could find. Automated market maker swaps typically charge a fee on each trade, and yield pools may take a performance or withdrawal fee, but the exact rates for Garudaswap are not stated. Network gas fees on BNB Chain apply to every transaction. Users should read the fee information on the official site before trading.

Is Garudaswap safe?

Garudaswap does not publish an audit report or a public security record in the material this review could find. Smart-contract risk is the main concern: pools hold user funds in code, and a bug or exploit can result in losses that cannot be reversed. Custody is non-custodial in the sense that users keep their keys, but pool contracts control deposited tokens while they are staked.

Counterparty risk is also relevant for the perpetuals and vault products once they launch, because collateral and positions depend on the project's contracts and liquidation logic. Regulatory status is not described in the sources reviewed, and the project does not publish a licence. Users should check whether using decentralized trading is legal where they live.

No incident history for Garudaswap appeared in the sources reviewed. The absence of a reported incident does not mean the contracts are safe, and users should treat every pool as carrying risk.

6 steps

How to get started with Garudaswap

  1. 1

    Confirm the official website address from the project's own channels before connecting a wallet.

  2. 2

    Add BNB Chain to a compatible wallet and fund it with a small amount of the native gas token.

  3. 3

    Connect the wallet to the Garudaswap interface and check the network matches BNB Chain.

  4. 4

    Make a small test swap to see the quoted price, the fee and the slippage before trading larger amounts.

  5. 5

    If using a pool, read the pool's reward token, lock terms and withdrawal conditions before depositing.

  6. 6

    Track positions and impermanent loss over time, and withdraw if the pool's rewards fall.

Who Garudaswap is for

Garudaswap is most relevant to experienced DeFi users who already hold BNB Chain assets and want to swap tokens or provide liquidity on a smaller exchange. It is less suited to first-time users, who should start with a small amount and learn how impermanent loss and pool rewards work first.

Garudaswap FAQs

What is Garudaswap?

Garudaswap describes itself as a permissionless automated market maker, which means token swaps run through smart contracts and liquidity pools rather than an order book matched by a company. The project lists BNB Chain among its networks, and public reporting associate it with staking and farming pools. Users should check the current contract addresses and chain on the official site before connecting a wallet.

Which blockchain does Garudaswap run on?

Garudaswap is listed as operating on BNB Chain in the sources reviewed. Other chains are not mentioned in those sources. Assets and tokens on the site are used through that network, so users should confirm the network in their wallet before sending funds.

What are Garudaswap fees?

The sources reviewed do not publish a fee schedule for Garudaswap. Swaps on automated market makers usually charge a percentage fee that is paid to liquidity providers, and users pay network gas fees on BNB Chain. The exact percentages should be confirmed on the official site.

Is yield farming on Garudaswap safe?

Yield farming means depositing tokens into a pool so that the protocol pays rewards, often in its own token. Garudaswap advertises high yields for some pools, but those rates can change quickly and are not guaranteed. Impermanent loss, which affects liquidity providers when token prices diverge, can reduce returns even when headline yields look high.

Has Garudaswap been audited?

No independent audit report for Garudaswap appears in the material this review could find, and the project does not publish one in a form this review could verify. Users should look for audit documentation directly from the team before depositing. Gambling-style risk does not apply here, but smart-contract risk does.
