In the rapidly evolving world of blockchain and cryptocurrency, decentralized exchanges (DEXes) like Uniswap, SushiSwap, and PancakeSwap have revolutionized how we trade digital assets. These platforms are integral to the seamless operation of Smarty Pay's Pay-Ins, where users can pay with over 30+ supported tokens. By leveraging these DEXes, we ensure efficient conversions, transparent rates, and a superior payment experience for both users and merchants.
What Are Uniswap, SushiSwap, and PancakeSwap?
Uniswap
Uniswap is one of the pioneering DEXes on Ethereum, operating entirely on smart contracts. It uses an Automated Market Maker (AMM) model to facilitate token swaps without intermediaries. With its upgrades to Uniswap v3, users now benefit from concentrated liquidity, which provides more competitive rates for trades.
SushiSwap
Born as a fork of Uniswap, SushiSwap expanded its features to include incentives like yield farming and staking. It operates on multiple blockchain networks, making it versatile for different ecosystems. While similar to Uniswap in functionality, its focus on community rewards has helped it carve out its niche.
PancakeSwap
As the go-to DEX on Binance Smart Chain (BSC), PancakeSwap offers fast, cost-effective swaps. Its lower gas fees and extensive support for BEP-20 tokens make it a popular choice for traders looking to avoid Ethereum’s often higher transaction costs.
How Smarty Pay Utilizes These DEXes
At Smarty Pay, these DEXes play a critical role in Pay-In transactions, ensuring users enjoy a seamless and transparent payment experience.
1. Token Conversion During Pay-Ins
When a user makes a payment with any of our 30+ supported tokens, we leverage Uniswap, SushiSwap, and PancakeSwap to:
Convert the token into stablecoins (USDT or USDC) in real time.
Secure the best possible rate for the user, with no additional commission added by Smarty Pay.
Ensure that all settlements for merchants are in stablecoins, making accounting straightforward and predictable.
2. Transparent Rates for Users
During the payment process:
The current conversion rate is displayed on our payment widget, allowing users to see exactly how much their tokens are worth in stablecoins before completing the transaction.
This transparency builds trust and ensures users make informed decisions.
3. Optimizing Payments with Rate Orchestration
Smarty Pay takes it a step further by:
Comparing rates between Uniswap v2 and Uniswap v3 in real time.
Choosing the most favorable rate for the user, ensuring they get the best value for their tokens.
Dynamically adjusting to the liquidity and fee structures of each platform to enhance efficiency.
