ZoomSwap Review 2026: Small IoTeX DEX With Yield Farms

ZoomSwap is a decentralized exchange and yield-farming platform built on IoTeX. It describes itself as a yield-farming AMM and markets itself as a cheaper and faster alternative to Uniswap, with farms and a lottery for its ZM token.

It has been tracked since November 2021 and lists two audits. Current liquidity is very small, with total value locked around $2,282 and a drop of about 34% in the past week. That makes it a niche venue rather than a deep market.

The project publishes little beyond its homepage pitch. Fees, team members, audit providers and tokenomics are not stated there, so readers should verify details in the app and on-chain before depositing.

ZoomSwap is an automated market maker. Instead of matching buyers and sellers, it holds pools of two tokens and prices trades from the ratio between them. Anyone can deposit both tokens into a pool and receive liquidity-provider tokens, which represent their share.

The yield-farming layer lets liquidity providers stake those pool tokens to earn ZM, the platform's own token, on top of swap fees. The rewards are paid in a token whose value depends on market demand, so the effective yield can change quickly.

The homepage also advertises a lottery for ZM. Its rules, ticket prices and prize structure are not described on the homepage, so users should read the terms in the app before taking part.

ZoomSwap does not publish a fee schedule on its homepage. AMM platforms usually charge a small percentage on each swap, with part going to liquidity providers, but the exact rate here is not stated. Users should check the figure in the swap interface before confirming.

You also pay IoTeX network gas for each transaction. Farm reward rates and any lottery ticket pricing or prize split are likewise not published outside the app.

The project lists two audits, but the audit providers, dates and findings are not published on the homepage. An audit reduces but does not remove smart-contract risk, and older contracts may not reflect current best practice.

The larger concern is the very low TVL, which means thin liquidity, price manipulation risk and the possibility that the project is under-maintained. ZoomSwap is non-custodial, so there is no exchange counterparty, but liquidity providers bear impermanent loss and ZM price risk. Regulatory status and team identity are not published. The lottery feature involves chance-based participation; it is for adults (18+), and users should confirm it is legal where they live and play responsibly.

ZoomSwap is for IoTeX users and small-scale farmers who understand impermanent loss, are comfortable with unaudited-in-detail contracts and token-reward volatility, and want an alternative venue on that chain. It is a poor fit for anyone needing deep liquidity, large swaps or published team and audit transparency.
