Swim

Swim Protocol is a cross-chain Automated Market Maker (AMM) designed to facilitate seamless native asset swaps across multiple blockchain networks. By leveraging multi-token liquidity pools and Solana's Wormhole bridge, Swim enables users to transfer tokens between chains without the need for wrapped assets or centralized intermediaries. This approach enhances interoperability within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, allowing for more efficient and direct cross-chain transactions. Founded in 2021 and based in Menlo Park, California, Swim has secured $8 million in funding over two rounds, with notable investors including Pantera Capital, Alameda Research, and Coinbase Ventures. The protocol's focus on native-to-native asset swaps aims to reduce delays and complexities associated with traditional cross-chain transfers, contributing to a more integrated and user-friendly DeFi landscape.
