Overview
DexHunter is a DEX aggregator on Cardano that scans liquidity across 15+ decentralized exchanges to find optimal swap rates for any token pair. Its routing algorithm splits trades across multiple pools and exchanges simultaneously, reducing slippage and improving output compared to trading on a single venue. The platform is non-custodial and requires no account registration or identity verification — users connect a Cardano wallet and trade immediately.
Formerly known as Jungle, DexHunter was founded by Nikita Melentjevs, who built the platform's infrastructure by reverse-engineering DEX smart contracts to enable direct on-chain interaction without third-party dependencies1. The platform supports over 100 Cardano native tokens and integrates with wallets including Nami, Eternl, Yoroi, Lace, and Flint. DexHunter also operates a partner program with 50+ integration partners, enabling projects to embed swap functionality and earn commissions on trades2.
Key Features
- Smart route optimization. DexHunter's algorithm compares rates across DEXs such as Minswap, SundaeSwap, WingRiders, and Splash, splitting orders to achieve better pricing than any single exchange3.
- Limit orders and DCA automation. Traders can set target-price limit orders with partial fill support and configure dollar-cost averaging schedules that execute automatically over time3.
- Wallet tracking and alerts. The platform allows users to label and monitor specific wallet addresses, providing notifications when tracked wallets execute trades — useful for following market-moving activity2.
- Live order book. Real-time depth charts display buy and sell pressure at each price level, giving traders visibility into liquidity distribution before executing.
- Partner API. A documented REST API lets third-party projects integrate DexHunter's swap engine with a single line of code and earn a share of trading fees through daily payouts3.
What to Expect
Trading on DexHunter starts with connecting any supported Cardano wallet — no signup or email required. The swap interface displays rate comparisons across all aggregated DEXs, and the routing visualization shows how a trade might split across multiple pools before confirmation. Transactions typically complete within seconds of blockchain confirmation, and the interface provides instant feedback on order placement even before on-chain settlement.
Beyond basic swaps, the platform offers advanced order types, trending token discovery, multi-chart views, and portfolio tracking. DexHunter maintains a Vespr-integrated mobile experience and powers token swaps embedded in several Cardano ecosystem tools. The HUNT token provides fee discounts and governance rights, with a fixed supply of 100 million tokens. A DCA validator audit report is publicly available, though the auditing firm is not named in the document4.
