💡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.
Connect Wallet
Use an EVM-compatible wallet such as Trust Wallet or MetaMask to connect to StocksDEX.
Choose Tokens
Select the token you want to swap and receive. You can use SaFu lists or import a custom token.
Customize Settings (Optional)
Use the settings modal to configure route preference, transaction speed, and max slippage.
Enter Amount
Input how much you want to swap. AltDEX estimates your return in real time.
Set Recipient Address (Optional)
Send tokens to a different wallet if needed.
Execute the Swap
Approve the contract and confirm the trade in your wallet. A 1% trading fee is applied to the sell token side.
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%)
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.
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
