Lifting the minimum swap limit
Another day - another great feature for our Symbiosis WebApp! We're excited to announce our new implementation and invite you to our upgraded cross-chain swaps - now available without the amount of funds' limitations.
Everything you need to know about - right here
Context
Previously, users faced amount limits for bridges and swaps at Symbiosis WebApp where the equivalent of 10 USD was the minimum required to process the transaction. The threshold was restricting users from performing and cross-chain swaps.
While the majority of swap and bridge platforms still limit their users to process with the minimum equivalent to 10-15 USD, we decided to fix this situation and provide Symbi fam with more possibilities for seamless token swaps.
What has been done?
Our team has pulled off the limit and implemented a new feature that allows users to proceed with swaps of the amount of assets that is less than the equivalent of 10 USD. Yeah, that's right! 3 USDC or 0.001 ETH - all these types of transactions may be processed at Symbiosis. This is another step and important milestone for us to make DeFi more accessible to our Symbi fam!
How to swap and get the best pricing?
Visit Symbiosis WebApp here and and connect your wallet of your choice by clicking "Connect Wallet" at the top right corner of the screen;
Select the assets you'd like to swap and exchange on the chain you are willing to proceed with;
Next step is to enter the amount of funds you want to swap. Remember - no limitations for the sum of assets
Review the terms of the transaction and proceed by clicking the big green button "Swap";
If required, confirm the swap via your wallet.
Voila - all done! After necessary blockchain confirmations your transaction is processed. And just like that - in a short matter of time your funds are transferred to your desired chain and asset-type.
