Glyph Exchange

The flagship decentralized exchange on Core DAO — trade BRC-20s, ERC-20s, and Bitcoin inscription assets in one place, with no middlemen and no custodians.

Key Features

BRC-20 & ERC-20 Trading

Swap Bitcoin-native BRC-20 tokens alongside standard ERC-20 assets. The Glyph Exchange platform connects two worlds that most DEXs treat as completely separate.

V4 Concentrated Liquidity AMM

Liquidity providers can set custom price ranges — similar in spirit to what Uniswap V3 introduced — meaning capital is deployed more efficiently than in older constant-product pools.

Aggregator Routing

The built-in aggregator checks multiple liquidity sources at once and picks the path with the lowest slippage. You get the best fill without manually comparing pools.

Inscription Asset Support

Beyond BRC-20s, the protocol handles ordinal-inscription assets. This is a genuine differentiator for anyone operating in the Bitcoin DeFi space right now.

OpenZeppelin-Based Contracts

Core smart contracts are built on audited OpenZeppelin libraries, reducing the attack surface that plagues hastily assembled DeFi projects.

Non-Custodial by Design

Your private keys, your tokens. The Glyph Exchange's protocol never holds user funds. Every transaction settles directly on-chain through the Core DAO EVM layer.

Bridge Integration

One-click access to Core Official Bridge and Stargate Finance means you can move assets in and start trading in minutes, not hours.

Why Glyph Exchange

Bitcoin Liquidity, EVM Speed

Core DAO's Satoshi Plus consensus brings Bitcoin hash-rate security to an EVM-compatible chain. The Glyph Exchange platform sits on top of that — so you get familiar tooling without sacrificing BTC alignment.

Genuine Fee Transparency

Base swap fees are 0.3% for V2 pairs. Fee tiers in V4 are set by pool creators and visible before you commit. No hidden extraction, no opaque structures — a philosophy borrowed from how Compound handles rate transparency on lending.

Multiple AMM Versions, One Interface

Need a quick market swap? Use Giga Swap. Want to provision liquidity with precision? Switch to V4 AMM. Both are one click away in the selector — no separate apps, no wallet reconnections.

Built for the Long Game

The team behind Glyph Exchange has shipped V2, V3, and now V4 of the protocol since launch. That kind of iterative track record matters more than any single audit badge. Read more on our company page.

Curious about how EVM gas mechanics interact with BRC-20 transfers? The Ethereum model — specifically the EIP-1559 base-fee burn introduced in August 2021 — is a useful reference point when thinking about predictable transaction costs on any EVM chain. Core DAO adapts those patterns to its own block structure, and Glyph Exchange benefits from that design.

How It Works

01

Connect Your Wallet

Open Glyph Exchange and hit Connect. MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and any WalletConnect-compatible app work fine. The protocol never asks for personal information — just a wallet signature.

02

Bridge Assets if Needed

Already on Core DAO? Skip this. Otherwise, use the Bridge menu to move funds via Core Official Bridge or Stargate Finance. Most transfers complete in under five minutes.

03

Choose Your Mode

The Selector panel lets you pick Giga Swap for aggregated best-price routing, V4 AMM for concentrated-liquidity swaps, or V2 AMM if you prefer the classic constant-product model. Each serves a different trading style.

04

Confirm the Swap

Review the quoted output, slippage tolerance, and route details. One wallet confirmation later, the trade is on-chain. No order books, no waiting for a counterparty.

05

Provide Liquidity (Optional)

Got tokens sitting idle? Deposit them into a pool and earn a share of swap fees. The process mirrors how lending protocols like Compound handle LP incentives — deposit, receive pool tokens, withdraw anytime.

FAQ

What is Glyph Exchange?

Glyph Exchange is a decentralized exchange built on Core DAO. It lets you trade BRC-20 tokens, ERC-20 tokens, and Bitcoin inscription assets without handing control to any third party.

How do I start trading on Glyph Exchange?

Connect a Web3 wallet to the app, choose a token pair in the Selector panel, type in an amount, and approve the transaction. That's genuinely it. No account, no KYC.

Is Glyph Exchange safe and audited?

The Glyph Exchange's protocol builds on OpenZeppelin contract libraries and has gone through third-party security reviews. That said, DeFi carries inherent risk — only trade what you can afford to lose.

What tokens can I trade on Glyph Exchange?

CORE, WCORE, USDT, BRC-20 tokens native to Bitcoin, ERC-20 tokens deployed on Core DAO, and selected ordinal-inscription assets. The list grows as new pools are created.

Can I provide liquidity on Glyph Exchange if I only hold CORE?

Yes. Pair CORE with USDT or any other supported token and deposit into an active pool. You'll earn a cut of every swap that passes through that pool, proportional to your share.

What AMM model does Glyph Exchange use?

Two models run side by side. V2 AMM uses the constant-product formula (x×y=k). V4 AMM adds concentrated liquidity with custom price ranges. Pick whichever suits your strategy.

Why should I use Glyph Exchange instead of another DEX?

Glyph Exchange is one of the very few DEXs with native BRC-20 support on a live EVM chain. If your portfolio includes Bitcoin inscription assets, there are not many alternatives that match this depth.

How does the Glyph Exchange aggregator work?

The aggregator — powered by IceCreamSwap — splits your order across the best available liquidity sources automatically. You see the final quote before confirming. No manual route selection needed.

What are the trading fees on Glyph Exchange?

Standard V2 pairs charge 0.3%. V4 pools carry fee tiers chosen by pool creators, typically ranging from 0.05% to 1%. The exact fee is always displayed in the swap preview.

How do I bridge assets to Core DAO to use Glyph Exchange?

Open the Bridge menu inside the app. You'll find direct links to Core Official Bridge and Stargate Finance. Both work with standard EVM wallets and settle in a few minutes under normal conditions.

Does Glyph Exchange support mobile wallets?

Yes. MetaMask Mobile, Coinbase Wallet, and any WalletConnect v2-compatible app connects without issue. The interface scales to mobile screens too, so trading on the go is perfectly workable.

Can I earn yield on Glyph Exchange if I am not an active trader?

Absolutely. Deposit into a pool, collect fee income, withdraw whenever you like. There is no lockup. Think of it like how Compound handles lending deposits — provide capital, earn yield, exit freely.

What is the difference between Giga Swap and V4 AMM on Glyph Exchange?

Giga Swap aggregates routes across multiple pools for best execution. V4 AMM is the native concentrated-liquidity system for LPs who want precise range control. Traders usually prefer Giga Swap; LPs lean toward V4.

Where can I get support for Glyph Exchange?

The support page has detailed Q&A covering common issues. For live help, the official Discord server is the fastest channel — the community responds quickly, and the core team is active there daily.
