Our verdict on Zilswap
5.5/10ZilSwap may suit users exploring token swaps and related services in the Zilliqa ecosystem. Its main strength is breadth: alongside its DEX, the documentation covers liquidity, NFTs, a game, a bridge and token launches. The main caveat is that the documentation does not establish which services are currently active, and it does not publish specific fees or identify an audit. Check the current interface and transaction terms before using it, especially for bridges, liquidity pools or newly launched tokens.

What is Zilswap?
ZilSwap is a platform for the Zilliqa ecosystem, centered on an on-chain decentralized exchange for ZIL and ZRC-2 token swaps. Its documentation also describes liquidity provision and rewards, alongside several adjacent products.
Those products include ARKY, an NFT marketplace; ZOLAR, a PvP NFT game; ZilBridge, which connects Ethereum and Zilliqa mainnet; and ZILO, a token launch platform. The documentation describes a broad set of tools, but does not establish which are currently operating.
The documentation does not specify current fees or identify an audit. Treat the listed features as products to verify before use, particularly when a transaction involves a bridge, liquidity pool or newly launched token.
How Zilswap works
ZilSwap describes its exchange as fully on-chain and supports swaps between ZIL and ZRC-2 tokens. As with other decentralized exchanges, a user selects tokens and submits a transaction through a wallet; the exchange's on-chain mechanism handles the trade without requiring the user to find a direct counterparty. The documentation also lists liquidity provision, but does not establish the exact pool design or current terms.
The platform's other services have different mechanics and risks. Its documentation describes an NFT marketplace, a PvP NFT game, ZILO token launches and ZilBridge between Ethereum and Zilliqa. A swap, a bridge transfer and an NFT purchase are not interchangeable activities: each can involve different contracts, assets and transaction costs.

Watch out for
- The documentation does not establish whether the exchange and its related services are currently active.
- A fee schedule or specific trading costs are not published in the documentation described here.
- The documentation does not identify an audit or security review.

Zilswap fees
ZilSwap's documentation includes a Fees section, but specific trading, liquidity or bridge charges are not published in the documentation described here. Check the applicable charges in the interface before approving a transaction; blockchain network fees may also apply.
Is Zilswap safe?
ZilSwap's documentation does not identify an audit or security review. Because swaps and liquidity provision rely on on-chain mechanisms, users face smart-contract risk as well as the risk of price changes and loss of liquidity. Bridge use adds cross-chain and counterparty risks; token launches and NFTs can carry additional project-specific risks.
The documentation does not establish current operating status, custody arrangements or regulatory status. Verify the service and transaction details before using it, and do not treat a listed feature as proof that it is currently available.
