The decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and staying ahead means seamless access, faster transactions, and unified experiences across blockchains. The Crypto.com DeFi Wallet has taken a major leap forward with two powerful upgrades: cross-chain token swaps and a completely revamped trading interface. These enhancements are designed to simplify how users manage, move, and exchange digital assets across multiple EVM-compatible networks — all within a single, intuitive platform.
Whether you're a seasoned DeFi user or just beginning your journey, these updates make it easier than ever to interact with multiple blockchains without the complexity traditionally associated with cross-chain transactions.
One-Tap Cross-Chain Swaps Across Seven EVM Chains
Gone are the days of juggling multiple bridges, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and tedious multi-step transfers. With the new cross-chain swap feature, users can now seamlessly exchange tokens across seven major EVM-compatible blockchains in just one transaction.
Powered by Stargate, an advanced omnichain protocol built on LayerZero technology, cross-chain swaps eliminate the friction of traditional bridging. Instead of locking assets on one chain and minting wrapped versions on another, Stargate enables native asset transfers with improved capital efficiency and reduced slippage.
This means when you swap a token from Ethereum to Avalanche, for example, the underlying asset moves natively — preserving its original form and value — without relying on intermediaries or synthetic representations.

Supported Blockchains for Cross-Chain Swaps
Currently, cross-chain swaps support the following high-performance EVM networks:
- Ethereum
- Avalanche
- Polygon PoS
- Arbitrum
- Optimism
- Fantom
- Binance Smart Chain
These chains represent some of the most active ecosystems in DeFi, offering access to leading dApps, liquidity pools, and yield-generating opportunities. As adoption grows, additional networks are expected to be integrated, further expanding the interoperability horizon.
A Unified Trading Experience: The New ‘Trade’ Page
Navigating between different tools for swapping, bridging, and transferring assets can be overwhelming. That’s why the DeFi Wallet team has completely redesigned the ‘Trade’ page to unify all asset movement functionalities into one clean, user-friendly interface.
Now, whether you're:
- Swapping tokens on the same blockchain
- Bridging assets across chains
- Transferring funds via the Crypto.com App or Cronos chain
— everything happens from a single screen with minimal steps. No more switching between apps or managing fragmented workflows.
The updated UI emphasizes clarity and speed. Users can instantly see available routes, estimated fees, transaction times, and slippage settings — all laid out in an organized, easy-to-read format. This streamlined approach reduces errors, saves time, and enhances overall confidence during transactions.
Built for Security and Simplicity
As a non-custodial wallet, the Crypto.com DeFi Wallet ensures that users retain full control over their private keys and digital assets at all times. Your funds are never held by a third party — they remain under your sole ownership.
Beyond decentralization, the wallet integrates multilayered security protocols, including biometric authentication, device-level encryption, and secure key storage. These features work together to protect against unauthorized access while maintaining ease of use.
With support for over 3,000 tokens across 30+ blockchains, the DeFi Wallet serves as a comprehensive hub for managing diverse portfolios. From token swaps and staking rewards to NFT management and dApp connectivity, everything is accessible in one place.
Available on iOS, Android, and as a Chrome browser extension or desktop application, the wallet adapts to your preferred environment — whether you're on mobile or at your desk.

Why This Update Matters for the Future of DeFi
Interoperability has long been one of the biggest challenges in blockchain technology. While hundreds of independent networks exist, moving value between them has often been slow, expensive, or technically complex.
The introduction of native cross-chain swaps powered by LayerZero represents a significant step toward solving this problem. By enabling direct asset transfers without reliance on wrapped tokens or trust-minimized custodians, this upgrade brings DeFi closer to true decentralization and scalability.
Moreover, combining this functionality with an intuitive UI ensures that even non-technical users can benefit from cutting-edge infrastructure. This democratization of access is essential for driving mass adoption.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is a cross-chain swap?
A: A cross-chain swap allows you to exchange tokens between two different blockchain networks (e.g., Ethereum to Polygon) in a single transaction, without needing separate bridge and swap steps.
Q: How does Stargate and LayerZero work together?
A: LayerZero provides secure message passing across blockchains, while Stargate uses this infrastructure to enable native asset transfers with optimized liquidity pools — reducing slippage and gas costs.
Q: Is the DeFi Wallet different from the Crypto.com App?
A: Yes. The DeFi Wallet is non-custodial and designed for direct interaction with decentralized protocols. The Crypto.com App is a custodial platform offering centralized services like buying crypto and earning interest.
Q: Are there extra fees for cross-chain swaps?
A: Cross-chain swaps include standard gas fees for both source and destination chains, plus a small protocol fee. All costs are displayed before confirmation so you know exactly what to expect.
Q: Can I use the DeFi Wallet on desktop?
A: Absolutely. The wallet is available as a Google Chrome extension and a standalone desktop app for Windows and macOS.
Q: Which tokens can I swap across chains?
A: Most major ERC-20 compatible tokens on supported networks are available for cross-chain swaps, including stablecoins like USDC and native tokens like MATIC, AVAX, CRO, and more.
