Overview
Danogo Swap is a trading page inside the Danogo DeFi app that lets you swap ADA and other Cardano tokens without leaving the site. You connect a Cardano wallet, pick the token to send and the token to receive, see the live price and how much your trade will move it, and confirm in your wallet. Trades run through concentrated liquidity pools that liquidity providers fund on the Danogo platform1.
Danogo lives on Cardano and runs more than just a swap. It is a lending and borrowing platform that also runs a Bond DEX, a marketplace for buying and selling bond assets2, and leverage trading, which means borrowing funds to increase your exposure to price moves3. The team writes its smart contracts in Aiken, a Cardano programming language4, and publishes a TypeScript SDK for building swaps on GitHub5.
Key Features
- One screen for trades. The swap sits inside the same app you use for lending, borrowing, and leverage. Besides the price and price impact, the swap panel lists a batcher fee and an ADA deposit6.
- Trades use focused liquidity pools. Danogo brings the Uniswap V3 concentrated liquidity model to Cardano. Liquidity providers place their funds inside a price range they choose, and that liquidity only trades while the market price sits inside the range1,7.
- Loan prices pulled from many sources at once. Danogo's lending side values loan collateral using several Cardano price sources together: Orcfax, DJED, Liqwid, Indigo, and the exchanges Minswap and Splash. If one source's price strays too far from the average of all of them, loan actions that use that price are paused, which helps prevent price manipulation and forced sales of collateral at a wrong price4,8.
- An audited swap engine. No Witness Labs reviewed the swap pool code and published its report openly in the Danogo documentation, so anyone can read what was checked and what was found9.
- Pool details for each pair. The Liquidity Pair page shows the pools behind a pair such as ADA-USDCx, with each pool's price range, fee, value locked, and trading volume10. You can fund a pool yourself from the app's Liquidity Pair page10: you pick the price range where your funds are active and earn a share of the trading fees from swaps in that range1.
What to Expect
Open v2.dano.finance/swap and you arrive at a swap card with a Swap In field, a Swap Out field, and a Connect Wallet button. ADA is preselected as the token to send. The card shows your available balance, the price, the price impact of your trade, the batcher fee, and the ADA deposit.
If you want to read first, the Danogo documentation holds the litepaper, audit reports, news, and a blog under one roof. Danogo also runs a community Discord server11. Developers can plug Danogo's swap into their own product by following the swap integration guide on the same site7, which links to a TypeScript SDK on GitHub12.
