💡How It Works

Understand the power behind AltDEX and how each feature is designed to give you safer, smarter trades.

Key Workflows

AltDEX is designed for seamless swaps with user-first features layered on top of Li.Fi’s routing engine.

Executing Swaps

Connect your wallet, choose your buy and sell tokens, adjust your settings, and complete the swap.

1

Connect Wallet

Use an EVM-compatible wallet such as Trust Wallet or MetaMask to connect to StocksDEX.

2

Choose Tokens

Select the token you want to swap and receive. You can use SaFu lists or import a custom token.

3

Customize Settings (Optional)

Use the settings modal to configure route preference, transaction speed, and max slippage.

4

Enter Amount

Input how much you want to swap. AltDEX estimates your return in real time.

5

Set Recipient Address (Optional)

Send tokens to a different wallet if needed.

6

Execute the Swap

Approve the contract and confirm the trade in your wallet. A 1% trading fee is applied to the sell token side.

If you’re holding 5,000 $CTRL, the fee is automatically waived

Importing Tokens

If a token isn’t listed in the AltCTRL SaFu list, you can still import it manually by address.

  • Risk Disclosure: Importing custom tokens will trigger a warning modal

  • DYOR Reminder: Users must acknowledge risks before importing

  • Import Management: Imported tokens appear under the Tokens tab in the Manage Tokens modal and can be deleted at any time

Updating Settings

AltDEX gives users control over trade dynamics:

  • Route Preference: Choose between the fastest path or the cheapest price

  • TX Speed: Pick between slow, average, or fast execution timing

  • Max Slippage: Fine-tune your tolerance (default is 0.5%, customizable to 0.1–1%)

Pro Tip: Use a lower slippage for stablecoin swaps and higher for volatile tokens

Send to Wallet

Want to send tokens to someone else or a different wallet? Enter a recipient address before executing.

Behind the Scenes

AltDEX uses the Li.Fi Aggregator to simulate, route, and execute trades from the most efficient liquidity sources available.

  • No order books

  • No centralized matching

  • No custody - just routes, approvals, and swaps

AltCTRL’s overlay introduces safety features like SaFu Lists*, routing guardrails, and planned onchain analytics.

*SaFu Lists are chain-specific and curated internally to help reduce scam risk

Best Practices

📋 Use SaFu Lists

Swap tokens from SaFu lists whenever possible to avoid scams and rug pulls

🛡️ Check SaFu Score

Use isSaFuBot before swapping to get an instant security report

🧪 Test With Small Amounts

When trading unknown or new tokens, start with a small test swap

✅ Verify Token Addresses

Avoid fake tokens by double-checking contract addresses when importing
