BaltEX DEX: Non-Custodial Crypto Swaps Made Private

postImage

The decentralized economy was supposed to be simple: no middlemen, no paperwork, and no trust needed—just pure peer-to-peer value transfer. But in reality, swapping crypto still feels like a maze of interfaces, gas fees, slippage settings, and sketchy bridges. That’s exactly what the BaltEX DEX is here to fix.

This is DEX, the BaltEX way: non-custodial, wallet-native, and fully transparent.

What Is the BaltEX DEX?

The BaltEX DEX Layer is a smart, privacy-first gateway to decentralized token swaps. It connects directly to your self-custody wallet and routes transactions through top decentralized exchanges (DEXs), aggregators, and liquidity pools. No sign-up. No KYC. No asset custody. You just connect and swap—like it should be.

All trades are executed on-chain through audited smart contracts. BaltEX doesn’t hold your funds or your keys at any point. The routing logic scans multiple protocols in real time to find the best possible swap path across supported blockchains.

Whether you’re swapping stablecoins on Ethereum, gaming tokens on Solana, or looking to bridge between chains, the DEX Layer wraps it all into one clean, permissionless interface.

Zero Custody, Full Control

Unlike centralized platforms, the BaltEX DEX Layer doesn’t take custody of your assets—not even for a second. Your wallet remains the sole controller of funds. When you initiate a swap, you sign a transaction with your wallet, and it’s executed directly through the DEX protocol on-chain.

Here's what you don't need:

  • ❌ No email or password
  • ❌ No KYC
  • ❌ No platform custody
  • ❌ No data collection

And here's what you do need:

  • ✅ A self-custody wallet (like Phantom, MetaMask, or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet)
  • ✅ Tokens you want to swap
  • ✅ Gas for the network you’re transacting on

That's it.

How It Works Behind the Scenes

When you select a token pair and input the amount to swap, the BaltEX DEX Layer does a few things:

Scans multiple routes: It queries leading DEXs and aggregators to find the most efficient route based on liquidity depth, slippage, gas cost, and execution reliability.

Shows you full cost breakdowns: You’ll see gas fees, DEX fees, and routing fees (if any) before you confirm. Nothing is hidden or buried in fine print.

Executes via smart contracts: Once you confirm, the transaction is sent straight to the blockchain. Execution is trustless and irreversible. Your tokens never go through BaltEX—just smart contracts you approve.

Settles on-chain, instantly: Swaps are finalized in your wallet. If a trade fails (due to slippage or network hiccups), your tokens stay put. No

Slippage, Gas, and Everything You See Upfront

Every trade on BaltEX DEX is fully transparent before you press “Swap.” Here’s what youll see:

  • Estimated rate and minimum received (factoring in your slippage tolerance)
  • Gas fees based on real-time blockchain conditions
  • DEX protocol fees
  • Routing fees (only when extra complexity is involved)

You can manually adjust slippage tolerance in the settings panel. That way, you stay in control of how much price variance you’re willing to accept between submitting and confirming a trade.

Cross-Chain Swaps? Yes, Where Available

Bridging is still one of the most annoying pain points in crypto. The BaltEX DEX Layer helps simplify that too. Where supported, you’ll be able to choose a source chain and a destination chain, and the routing engine will take care of the bridge logic for you.

We currently support select cross-chain swaps using trusted bridge protocols. You’ll see all the options in the interface—no guesswork, no juggling five tabs just to send tokens between ecosystems.

More networks and bridges will be integrated as liquidity and demand grow.

What Tokens Are Supported?

Token availability depends on two things: liquidity and integration. BaltEX DEX currently supports popular chains like:

  • Ethereum
  • Solana
  • Arbitrum
  • Polygon
  • BNB Chain

…and more on the way.

You’ll always see the available tokens and networks directly in the interface. If a token is missing, it likely means there’s not enough reliable liquidity to support swaps at that time.

Safety and Smart Contract Risk

Let’s be clear: smart contracts carry inherent risk. BaltEX only integrates with trusted protocols and contracts that have undergone third-party audits—but no system is 100% immune to bugs or exploits.

That's why the DEX Layer is designed with:

  1. Clear token approval prompts so you always know what permissions you're giving
  2. Direct on-chain execution to reduce dependency on any backend or middleware
  3. Transparent transaction previews that show exactly what will happen before you sign
  4. Still, we recommend reviewing transactions carefully, staying alert for phishing, and periodically revoking token approvals using tools like revoke.cash.

Common Questions

What if I can’t find the received token in my wallet? Try adding the token manually using its contract address. It’s likely the swap succeeded on-chain, but your wallet hasn’t recognized the token yet.

Can I revoke access later?

Yes. Use a site like revoke.cash to review and remove smart contract permissions you’ve previously approved.

What happens if a swap fails?

Nothing is deducted unless a transaction is confirmed on-chain. Your funds stay safe in your wallet.

Are there country restrictions?

Yes. BaltEX restricts access in line with international sanctions. Users from sanctioned jurisdictions (or using VPNs to bypass restrictions) are prohibited from using the DEX Layer.

Why It Matters

The BaltEX DEX Layer isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. It's doing something much simpler—and more important. It gives users a powerful, private, and transparent way to swap crypto, without the baggage of traditional platforms.

Whether you're an active DeFi trader, a privacy-focused user, or someone just trying to move assets between chains without nonsense, this tool was built for you.

Your keys. Your tokens. Your swap.
